LOST IN WONDER!!

Merry Boxing day everyone,I've just been catching up on all your blogs with pictures of your homes dressed for Christmas.I'm sure you'll all agree that Shingle Cottage is the most magical,it bought a tear to my eye it was just so gorgeous .     I decorated a bare branch that I got from a farmer next to my sisters cottage when we went for pre Christmas tea on Sunday 22nd.I was thrilled with the way it looked, as you will know that I do try so hard to be artistic!!I also made made own crackers AND they worked(hooray!!)I wrapped most of my presents in brown paper and pretty ribbons with candy canes and cinnamon sticks.My Christmas cake was made,very successfully, using Mary Berrys recipe.So I had quite a crafty Christmas,oh and I made tartan hearts for the girls at work.I am thrilled to be part of the blogging world and sooo proud when anyone takes the time to read my ramblings!!This year I have soooo enjoyed learning to craft and hopefully I WILL get better, As Time Goes By(LOVE that series by the way!!)Did you see Alex Pollizi I loved the things she did to her elegant home.And of course the lovely Kirstie,I have now got a whole page of her programmes recorded on my sky keep page!!One of the presents I got for Christmas is Pearl Lowes book,Vintage Craft,I can't wait to delve into it.Hope you all had a happy and peaceful Christmas...................

TUMBLEDOWN COTTAGE!!

Tried to make a gingerbread cottage with a kit that my eldest daughter got me.I was impatient and rushed it so this is the sad result!! At least I know where I went wrong and I will have another go.

I,M BACK!!!

Good Evening,with the help of my darling Holly I have found my old blog,hurrah.On Sunday my antiques centre where I have LA BOHEME had a Christmas craft fayre,it was lovely the sun shone and all the stalls looked beautiful.I had seen a birdcage in one of the spaces indoors a few days before and thought when payday arrives I will have it.When I looked it had gone I was very sad.I went to browse the stalls outside and couldn't see it,BUT  I heard a lady say "put the birdcage on a table dear" yes it had been on the floor and I'd missed it,overjoyed I hastily paid for it.I am going to decorate it for Christmas.Here it is undressed.............
