CHRISTMAS PREP.....

Made a few crochet balls and made them into a necklace for Christmas...using such a small hook hurts the fingers a bit so making a few at a time

FIREPLACE UPDATE:

Started with a floating shelf......but felt it needed more as it wasn't a chunky shelf....they were all too deep

So Phil made some wavy brackets out of the middle leaf of a huge Ikea table we had and cut in half.........Added a peg board made from Ikea pegs and painted it white along with the

old pine mirror

1st problem the mirror was one of a set of 3...l'd forgotten it had been waxed...oooops

and the paint won't dry......bum!

So for Christmas using the old Ikea light ring instead and l'll re do the Mirror after Christmas don't think l'll have time before

One of the boys nibbled throught the other big one a couple of Christmas's ago..naughty boy!

But the 1st coat of paint on the fireplace dried dowelled and glued to the wall yesterday

at 5.30 this morning l got up and did all the filling and sanding it's now dry and awaiting a second coat of eggshell paint THEN PLAYTIME!! hehe

Bought some stick on chandeliers a couple of months back decisions on where to put them.....

Added a silvery ribbon bow to the jugs of white roses in the bedroom look so pretty l might leave them on after Christmas

love this little wire tree it had been left out all year hehehe

My new Santa from The Birmingham German Market
