IT SNOWED IN THE BEDROOM!! LOL

They spin and twinkle in the heat from the radiator..a real pretty effect

Started rain as l was taking the photos...sparkly rain

some large some small die cuts and punched stars and snow flakes

May add some more but sewn together all of the shiny and white ones l'd cut so far

STUDIO SHED......lovely and warm on this freezing day
Ventured into my studio shed at the bottom of the garden to sew the stars and snowflakes together
Freezing here right now but the plug in oil fired radiator did the trick and l put on my boots and fleece and tried it out.....lovely and warm so warm l had to take off the fleece for a while.......impressed with the radiator

View of the snowflakes and stars from the new big bed...we did get up eventually hehehe

CHANDERLIER FOR 'HERS'..SHOPPING AT DAGFIELDS

We had our Bank holiday today......trip to Bridgemere Lunch at a wonderful Pub and a trip to the Antique center at Dagfields near Nantwich today with Alison and Dave
found this Chandelier for 'Hers' complete with antique dust lol
think l'm going to paint it antique white along with everything else in the shed and a bit of distressing to boot

also found one unit all creams and whites and painted furniture with a very French Vintage Look...Dagfields is lots of small antiques craft and collectible units lots to look at and lots to buy

Just couldn't resist these 6 cups and saucers they looked so pretty on an antique white shelf
just how l want them to look in the house when the new look is complete
Thanks for a great Day out Pmacs you're real patient xx
great day with good friends
xx

Last episode of NEW TRICKS booked for tonight......a series we try never to miss but back again next soon

WISH CRAFTING WAS ALWAYS THIS TIDY HEHE

1st wall of insulation, boarding and shelving painted and papered.....just need to fill the shelves now...1 down 3 more to go....real happy and a big hug for Pmacs and all his hard work love ya lots and lots
thanks xxxxxxx
1st craft box unit out of the house and the dining room will need to replace it with something though...ooooh more shopping hehehe......and in it's place under the window in 'Suz Shed'
The Table l will sew at and make jewellery and paper craft...pretty well everything really lol
and
I'm sure it will never look like this again lol so many boxes of craft stash to be sorted and added to these book cases

Mr T has found his spot!!!!

Wire shelf with the coffee jars awaitng decoration against the 1st panel of Millie wallpaper between the book cases......these are still to be attached to the wall some how......adore this wallpaper
Laminate went down really quick once Pmacs was in charge...managed a couple of rows on my own while Pmacs did the cable to the sheds from the house
And was great to get to the last row and all that needed to be cut off was the lip.....made life easy
Third injury of the week 1st was a smack with the bookcase giving me 2 lovely bruises above my knee and the 2nd was a shelf dropped corner down and hit the top of my foot...bit of eye leakage over that one........l'll stay out of the way hey Pmacs? lol

TO WALLPAPER OR NOT TO WALLPAPER?

Wish l could remember who said go to Focus this wallpaper was on offer as a discontinued line for £5 a roll?.....l'd go thank them

It's so prettty and l've only bought 2 rolls hope it's enough to do a wall in 'Hers' the matching small print l've only got a sample of and tried it on the saved coffee jars

4 fit in each shelf of the new wire shelf unit l bought the other day in TK Max.....was thinking buttons and small items inbetween the two book cases in the shed with the wall paper behind...what do you all think?

Would have bought more and had it in the house but Pmacs hates wallpaper and l'm sure he is finding the 'new look' of flowers and pretties every where a bit hard to swallow as yet!! hehe
Although he did like the quilts and even said get another to cover the sofa he hates in the front sitting room......l just might too hehe

Auction tonight that Kaz has told me about Pmacs like this idea and 2 friends wanted to come aswell when we said we were going.....cya there Kaz and thanks again hope there is lots of lovelies to buy tonight!

Forgot to add this picture...on Monday when we nipped into town for the roof felt adhesive passing the charity shop for some reason l felt the need to go in and found this pretty jug for my roses 50p a bargain don't you think?

Needed to spend a couple of hours sorting Phils shelving and at least tidying a little just so we could get in 'His'....he's still got lots and lots to sort though.....should keep him busy for a while....but we'll see really can't believe he will become a tidy teddy bear even with a new shed to play in hehehehe
