sunny days :)

The sun did come out to play :)............ so I made Christmas Stockings?!?!?!

I am loving my little shed in the sunshine........a little too much I fear :)

Have a wonderful weekend

grannies a go-go.........

Due to the rubbish weather I have got a lot of crochet done this week, but having no room for any more blankets I made the grannies into more little garlands for the shop

sometimes the best bit is choosing the colours :)

and then there is the photo taking....... these were taken on the darkest day of the year....

I'm thankful for photo editing on that score :)

Wishing you a nice evening and that the sun comes out to play tommorrow :)

For a dull grey Monday morning....some things to make us smile

* bright wool to warm up a chilly day

* the cutest blocks from my lovely friend

* time over the weekend to make.......thankyou cards and..

* new pillows.......(no small dogs or muddy boys allowed on these...)

* bright and happy little bundles of bunting kits and vintage wallpapers

**don't forget to claim your discount in the shop this month.....see shop discount tab above for the coupon code for all blog friends :)

I am off now to iron a pile of freshly washed vintage pillowcases and avoid the rain...shopping...wet washing....and dog walking :)

Happy Monday

little blue guy...I love you .......

it has been a little crazy around here these past weeks, the heatwave, shed distractions, another birthday, lots of lego, lego cake....(pressure!) lego party (more pressure!).......school decisions...(even more pressure!)

...... in the midst of it all I find a creepy little cupboard which is just the right size for holding my faberdashery....so I find my tins of paint...trying to remember that I was to use up left-over paint to save pennies....

 

but after 3 different colours....it still wasn't right so I pop in to Mr H's shed (yes he works in a shed too!) to have a little moan........and spot this little guy :) .......then I remember the fab photo above  in MM 's first issue and I'm in the car on the way to the diy store before you can say 'thunderbirds are go!' 

 

 

 finally after a lot of rubbing, sanding and huffing (and worse)  I repainted it, finished the insides with a pretty vintage wallpaper and some fabric and filled it with my little trims and notions :)

 

 

it was obviously always meant to be this colour .....

and as for Mr Tracy well he was obviously always meant to live with me :)

wishing you a happy autumn sun filled weekend

celebrations...........

In between all the shed activity (thankyou all for your lovely kind and encouraging words)

I managed to squeeze in a birthday :)

I was well and truly treated this weekend.........

I am indulged in my love of old globes, vintage, radios and books.........

and another friend to join the menagerie of light up animals :)

the decorations made me giggle......heart shaped balloons which looked very much like something else...much to the boys amusement!

 I am only hoping that this isn't the shape of things to come...a before and after type of scenario if you know what I mean :)

tommorrow is our wedding anniversary, 14 years ago since I tiptoed in my Doc Martins and Tiara down the aisle to marry my best friend...our wedding favors were homemade cookies iced with our initials and we danced to our friends band and mix tapes into the early hours.....we are going off into the woods for a picnic to celebrate and make the most of the lovely sun :) :) :)

Happy Monday
