Just had to show you this

Hi All
I know 2 posts in one day but had to show you a picture of my son, he is going to a Yule party, him and his friends are goths and here he is in all his gear, thankfully this time he did not bother  with his make up and black nail varnish, I do think he looks good, but then I am bias, see what you think

   

Finally

Hi All

Finally Teressa got her prize, the post some times is so slow, but that means I can show you what she won,

 

 

 

The end of the world should of happened today, but I am sitting here with the Internet, the telly on and people outside, so I assume it did not happen, or did it and I am on my own, let me know if you know different,

 

4 more sleeps to go

 

Its nearly here

Hi All

Can you believe it, its nearly here, only 5 days to go, then its Christmas, is it me or does time go so quickly?
The tree is up, the presents are wrapped, just the food to buy, will not be buying to much food, Christmas day,
I am having a quieter Christmas this year, I usually have all the family round and cook a massive dinner, but this year my health has not been at its best so we will all descend on my mum and dad on Boxing day.
 I cannot wait for them to see their Christmas present, going to take a risk today, I will show you their present, they do not read my blog often only when I tell them to have a look at something, so think I will be safe.

I had their 2 dogs, Yorkshire terriers, bobby and Leo, made in miniature, by Bridget McCarty, she is in America and makes incredible miniature animals, I sent her a picture and I was amazed when I got them, I love them, so I made a small display for them to sit in, we have decided to give them the display first, watch how they try to say thank you and then tell them "you better have this to go with it" Bobby the eldest is 14 years old and his health is not so good, so I hope they do not get upset.

Off to the mini club today, its our Christmas dinner so we will not get anything done.

have a look at the photos

Bobby and Leo

The pictures are of my mum and dad, my brothers, me with my sons and the doggies

 

news

Hi All
at last one of my give a ways as turned up, Isabel received hers so I can show you a picture, still waiting to hear from From Teressa, hope it turns up soon, so I can now show you a picture of what Isobel won,

Its getting very close to Christmas and I have just got my food shopping to do, hurrah,
my hall is now decorated and the bathroom is just waiting for a false blind and flooring, I want for the blind Cath Kidston material showing beach huts, when I did not want this it was every where, now every where I look its sold out, I am bidding on eBay for fabric showing boats, hope I get it, then I can make the blinds. the flooring can wait till after Christmas and I will find something in the sales. that's it then house done, next year I can concentrate on the garden, I need to make it user friendly for me, It has got more difficult for me to get about so I want a garden that does not need a lot of work, have got a few ideas, and have got a few pictures of really nice gardens, but it will all depend on funds.

here is the picture of Isobel's prize

 

A question

Hi All

Isabel and Teressa has your parcel arrived yet? dare not put pictures of what you won on my give a way till you get them, but I have not heard anything, I know December is a big month for posting and parcels take a while, can you let me know please.

I am busy getting ready for Christmas, my hall is now decorated, it just needs pictures and coat rack put back, carpet cleaning and its done, bathroom till needs a few finishing bits, so cleaning today, oh how I love house work, no time for minis,

 

Its Monday

Hi All
Yes its Monday, and I usually fly round the web and find you Give a ways, there are not many to be found,, I think everyone is busy with Christmas, I know I am, so I will begin my search again in the new year.

My bathroom is nearly finished, there are a few little bits left to do, I am looking for some nice fabric to make a half blind for the window, need to get a towel rail and a few other bits, will show you photos soon,

I must be mad, all this decorating before Christmas, as the hallway is being painted this week.

well better get dressed before he turns up

Another bargain

Hi All

As you all know I love anything vintage or shabby chic, so imagine how pleased I was when yesterday I found this in my junk shops, and it only cost me £3.00, not sure yet where it will live, its in my bedroom for now, I love it.

How are you all doing for Christmas, ready yet? I have got all my presents and they are wrapped and sitting under the tree, I have been working on mum and dad's secret present, cannot wait to show you.

And today, wait for it, Bathroom will be finished, yes I did say that, my friend is round today and finishing it, at last, this is a 3 day project that has now taken over 5 weeks, I find it hard to keep smiling, but I will make him his numerous cups of tea and let him get on with it.

Tomorrow my hall is being painted, its all go here.
have a look at my bargain
