LIBERTY IN LONDON!

How are you on this lovely November evening? Yesterday I went shopping in London with two of my sisters and our mum.We had a perfect day,visited Liberty,Selfridges(how I Wished it would have been like the store in the T.V drama,but sadly not!) Harrods,John Lewis and Butler and Wilson. Liberty was THE BEST for me it retained an old world charm and the building was FAB U LOUS darling ( said in a Craig Revell Horwood voice!!)  I purchase some little gifts and a lovely piece of fabric pictures to follow................

CRAFTY SUNDAY!

Just spent a lovely Sunday crafting.I painted an old dresser bottom with Annie Sloan (she was very patient and didn't struggle, tee hee!!) covered some tatty Christmas baubles in fabric bits and photographed my little hats for the AGE UK  smoothie appeal.

A TEAPOT FULL OF FLOWERS!

Good Evening,it's been a lovely afternoon here in Chesterfield.This morning (it's my day off work) I hot footed it up to town to buy some Pansies as I had a fancy to fill some teapots with them and make a late summer display!Here are the results for your delectation.................... Please don't look too closely at my window sill,it's filthy!! Not like the old days when we washed our door step and windowsills weekly or daily if you were very houseproud!!!

BLOOMING MARVELLOUS!!

Good Morning,just a quick post before work,full day today,booo!I made all my crocheted flowers and little knitted leaves into a wreath,I copied the idea from the one on RUPERTS HOUSE.I also made a covered teapot with knitted compost,crocheted flowers and knitted leaves. The teapot is a Christmas gift for my elder daughter so don't tell her will you?.......................P.S Also knitted a tea cosy,not too bad but room for improvement I think!!

Knitting flowers and leaves!!

Good evening all,hasn't it been a gorgeous day?I'm still on part time duties to to my injured back,physiotherapist says it was a sprain!I did't know one could sprain ones back!Anyway In the time off I've been knitting,I learnt to knit little leaves and crotchet flowers,I am thrilled to bits with it all and my hats for AGE UK now number 73!! Pictures to follow...........................

SCARY DOLL!!

Good afternoon my dears,I thought that you may like a really good laugh today so using my "talent" I thought I'd have a go at making a rag doll, it's THE most awful thing ever created,her name is Flanneletta,...................

POPPING BACK!

Good Afternoon,I'm back from LA BOHEME resting my back,yes I overdid things and now paying the price! Having to sit upright on the settee with a cushion behind my poor aching back!!Still I get to write this, I realised on my missive this morning I over used the word "pop"! So I will refrain from said word this afternoon.  Anyway, I re-

arranged a lot of my things to try and create a more interesting space, I am fairly pleased with what I achieved and here are a few pictures for you to peruse should you wish to do so having read your way through my ramblings!!
