An Award and Random Pics.....

Hello! I'm blommin freezing today, although the weathers quite nice outside. Nothing particularly exciting to tell you all, so I've put a few of pics on to show you. Firstly Some lovely pink Hyacinths, they just got too tall for their pot and no amount of tying them up was helping so I popped them in a jug on my table instead.

I took these on Tuesday when the sun was streaming in the dining room and it looked really pretty in there, although it doesn't look that sunny in the photo.

Here a lovely handmade fairy in a jar that hubby bought for my birthday a few years ago now, she was made by a lady from e-bay and I think she's really cute!

And the last photo is of a very tired Woody, taken on Sunday, after lots of running around and catching his ball!

Some Christmas Pics....

Well we got the house decorated for Christmas this weekend. Here's our tree.
and the long awaited finished freezer unit and sideboard that my hubby has made. Isn't he clever.

a better pic of the tree.

Our Christmas dresser unit.

I'm really pleased with how the dining room has turned out. This time last year it was a shell, that needed complete renovation.

I love my little ducks.

and our new Gisela Graham apple tree.

This was my partylite hostess gift from my recent party.

The advent calender.

no door handle escapes.

more partylite.

I made this little tree a few years ago.

and the sideboard in our lounge.

I've got a really sore throat today and feeling very hot. I've only just shaken a sickness bug and still haven't got rid of my last cough yet, I really don't want to be ill again, I just haven't got time. I'm watching miracle on 34th street at the moment with a glass of milk, and hoping that I'll wake up tomorrow feeling bright as a button.

Night Night for now folks.

Our Dining Room....

I thought I'd post a few pics of my newly decorated dining room as I never did get around to doing it.

I love my radiator unit and have lots of my favourite bits and bobs on there. I'd like to start collecting some more Emma Bridgewater stuff, but can't afford that at the moment with rising food and energy bills etc. This is our great e-bay bargain. Table and chairs for £41.00. The tables solid pine with a little drawer and the chairs are beech. Sadly the chairs we were doing up, don't really go with this table, so were going to try and pick up a square legged pine table on e-bay at some point, which we'll paint and put that table and chairs in the conservatory.

Got this giraffe a couple of Christmas's ago, haven't got anywhere to hang the Cinnamon and orange wreath at the moment, so the giraffes got an earring.
