Making merry

This years table decorations...

New beginnings

A new craft room deserves new slippers....

Red card

It's that time of the year...

True blue

And it all came together very nicely...

Cat attack

15 overlays cut and sewn...

With a little help from the Little Cat...

A bird in the hand

The Mothers are gathering to start on preparations for the Dance

Mail me

Having fun with my new Envelope Maker

This can very easily get out of hand...

Butterfly kisses

If we call the butterflies maybe Spring will follow...

Red delight

The left over table decorations have made a lovely display on my mantle

On the bench

This Monk Bench has been in the family of years and needed a little makeover.

A bit of paint. A bit of wax. A little distressing. Some Maia Prass cushions and we are as good as new!

Make Merry

It was a slightly belated Christmans in July...

But we had fun getting it all ready the night before 

Then the People arrived and brought food...

And a good time was had by one and all

How gorgeous this Nativity Set knitted by 

a friend'a mom and lent for the occasion:

Love market

The sun came out and the people went to the market

There was even a picture of fatcat

All in all a lovely day out in the country.

'Allo 'Allo

My neighbours beautiful hedge...

Paper play

I have been wanting to try this forever...

So when I had a bit of time and some left over water colour paper I gave it a try:

The paper was a bit flimsy for a bracelet so I thought it would work better as a decoration:

I am rather pleased with this :-)

Rack Attack

The scarves were having a hissy fit in the basket

Found this old grid in the building debris

Gave it a bit of a makeover 

 Scarves much happier

Possibly admit to scarf addiction...😔

Patter cake patter cake ...

 Yum. Recipe from here: http://lecremedelacrumb.com/2013/08/blackberry-lime-cake.html

Mandala Magic

Lucy has us all hooked in mandalas. Saw this beautiful display at a local fast food restaurant all made out of beads...

Just imagine threading on all those beads...

Police Academy 4

The Oldest needed some police uniforms for the Inter House Plays
