Crochet bunting, Yarn Along And Pretty Flowers

Hi Guys :) This week i am joining in with  Yarn Along
for some reason the wee button thing-a-ma-jig won't show up! :/

This was my project yesterday, i painted the wall pink and finally put up my flower canvases, i've had them for a while but didn't know what to do with them, and it occurred to me to make a feature wall out of the! And look how lovely it is! :) 
The room instantly looks brighter, but soft at the same time , and it really makes me happy when i see it :) I'm not normally a pink person, but for this i shall make an exception
I think the wall may need another coat but i shall do that later.
I'm thinking a lovely soft gray for two of the walls on each side
I was thinking about crocheting a bunting to go over the mantel and i forgot this one was hanging up on the window  
Continuing with the flower theme i made myself a new coaster  
                                                    The pattern for it is here

If you go to my Pinterest board for crochet you may notice i have a slight obsession with bunting at the minute haha :)

I'm also making some pretty star bunting for Christmas. i like to start early :) I have another board dedicated to it :)
My reading for this week is The Help by Kathryn Stockett 
One of my favourites :)

    I love the stars. I've just got Bear's jumper to finish then I'm making a start on some 'indestructable' Christmas decorations so I might give them a try. X

      Aren't they sweet? I bought the makings for mulled wine today too! :D
      My cat decided to do a runner a while back so i don't get to worry about whether the tree will be ruined :( but it was kind of fun putting them back together lol xx

      Isn't it great? Every time i read i mumble to myself about the injustice of it all, and then when they start getting their own back i'm like "woohoo!You go girl" haha :)

Hello?

*Peers round corner* Hello? Is anyone there? First of all, i would like to apologize for being so long updating here! It's been pretty busy around here, especially in the past month or two, and i have been updating mostly via Instagram.  We discovered that The Bearded Wonder has been having quite big heart issues , so much so that he was initially referred to get a pacemaker fitted, but on the day of his surgery the surgeon decided he was too young for a pacemaker and ended up fitting him with an under the skin monitor instead, which shall be in for 3 years, then he'll be re-assessed to see if a pacemaker is more suitable. He is doing well, and recovering nicely from the surgery. In other news, today is the day that Angus has been in our lives for a whole year! He was so tiny then. Somehow, out of nowhere, he has turned into this really fat, obnoxious fluffball! We are still enjoying going out and about on the bikes, and we are looking fo...

Adding to the flock- Ex battery hens

Hello! How the time has flown! This Saturday saw us adding two new girls to the flock. Meet Felicity and Penelope. The poor little buggers were so frightened by this strange new world, with fresh air, room to move and dirt to scratch in, but they've soon got used to it and are coming out of their shells. Felicity is definitely the bolder of the two, and now she's figured everything out she likes to show poor little Penelope who's boss Felicity checking out the dust bath Barbara checking out the roost in the new indoor shelter (formerly a wendyhouse) Felicity stepping out into the sunshine. This afternoon saw me teaching the new girls how to peck at the broccoli i'd hung up for them. Fliss was unimpressed, she'd rather try and eat my engagement ring. The good news is that after a week they are all starting to settle in with each other, and now there is much less squabbling between them and the older girls,...

Patience Is A Virtue (apparently) A Tour Of The Craft Room

Evening all :)  Sorry for it being so long, this week has completely nuts, I've barely had a chance to breathe! I've been attempting to organize my craft room. On Monday we finally got a double bed for our room ( we were sleeping on a double mattress on a sofa bed), at a bargain price of £5 :) So, we had to move the sofa bed into the spare room (that was fun!) and, up until now, the spare room was just used for storage until we got the house sorted. Let me introduce you to...The craft room! Woohoo! By the way, this is tidy by my standards! A lovely squishy sofa to curl up on and draw or read, and the spare duvet in case it gets cold and my knitting machine in the corner . (by the way, if you ever have the urge to put a knitting machine back in its' case, it is advisable not to! You need a degree in physics!) My cobbled together drying rack (and the sad looking hand made dress form in the corner) baskets of yarn and my sewing machine. Ugly ...
