The Major...

Major Sort Out reporting for duty...



over the last week i have been emptying our spare room which is where i do all my crafting and getting ready for a room swap with     Miss T...


she is 6 now, and really needs a big bed...so it's all change round these parts...she is currently sleeping in the loft with the boys - she loves it up there and camps there most weekend nights, which is lovely because i sometimes think, she thinks she is missing out on all the giddyness the boys get up to so it's nice for her to spend some time up there with them...

plus...her old room is floor to ceiling in my wool and fabric stash!

next week sees a freshly plastered ceiling in her new room - exciting.



this is the choice of wallpaper we have decided on...it's Cole & Son's Flamingo (no...really!!!) it's going to go on one wall and i think it will look rather lovely!

still crocheting Miss T's blanket...it's now 8X10 granny circle/squares so it's coming along nicely...

pics to follow!

off to London tomorrow...yay...

happy weekending folks

Saturday 5 January 2013

i spoke too soon...



the lurgy has hit...well it's hit Mr H...he has been in bed for 3 days with flu - not of the man variety - real flu (which he says would kill a woman!) and to top it all off just when he thought he had turned a corner, he goes and finds himself with an ear infection...what a start to 2013 eh!



this is a gorgeous necklace which was a gift from my brother in law and future sister in law...see...it does pay to leave what you are viewing on the laptop open so people can get ideas for christmas...




empty christmas tins...these will come in useful when me and Miss T swap rooms in a few weeks time...this will be a HUGE undertaking...involving plastering ceilings and lots of painting and Miss T moving into the loft room with the boys until her new room is finished...i am crocheting her blanket for her room (which i started last March as part of Granny A Day...)

its 7X8 granny circles at the mo...



next week sees school start again plus all the extra clubs that go with a normal term time week...i am however...going to London on Saturday for a spot of shopping and a theatre trip...exciting!

happy weekending folks
