Hi - Jinx over ...well almost

..... half term has been and gone.... I apologise for lack of posts and comments recently but I made a promise to myself that when the boys are off school I should spend a lot less time staring at a screen......so

I bundled some wool into a bag and went over to Yorkshire for a few days to see my lovely Mum and sisters..the boys spent their time mostly up a tree and Arnie gets about seven walks a day:)

new blanket on the go....

I have no idea what Halloween is all about these days.....but for me its an excuse to decorate the home, dig out my sisters of mercy records,pop on a wig and have a bit of fun :)

as I spent most of my teenage years dressing like it was halloween everyday I like to be a bit more colourful these days........(I'm thinking Mars Attacks girl alien)

 

Have a lovely week

half term hi - jinx...... (not as exciting as it sounds)

Another half term is here....I am racking my brains to come up with Autumn crafts that I actually like....so far we have made these little owls.....very easy, just two little stuffed shapes with felt features ( glued on as it all went a bit pear shaped with a needle and thread )

we also hunted out this little make from a few years ago, after spotting a little squirrel home in a tree.......

inspired by Wind in the Willows it was made from a box which we cut a door into and then decorated inside and out....

I think Mr Mole upgraded to a riverside loft when the housing market was good a few years ago so Mrs Deer moved in with her gingham rug and a few good books...

I have plans for this little abode......think...winter wonderland.....christmas grotto
 
I leave you with our favourite makes from last october holiday.....I can't find the real roll models anywhere I think they have upped and left for a better life (or worse the recycle bin )

Hope you are having a lovely week :)

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 :)
