Busy Busy


Hi guys :) 
These past few weeks have been so busy!
Remember i wrote on my old blog, How To Build A Wardrobe- Undomestic Diva Style (AKA- How To Have A Nervous Breakdown In 3 Easy Steps) ?
Well, last week, the fruits of my labour decided to collapse, after 7 months of hard service :( so that's another to add to the list of things to look for.

Preparations for the community exhibition are going really well, the day is looming  (13 Nov over the whole weekend)
I'm busy helping prepare the display boards to show off everything the centre has done, including children's drawings, a 20ft long banner, various groups such as cubs and brownies etc our very own knit and natter board with things we have made and so on. I drew a pair of hands knitting, and photocopied them and stuck them in various corners, so it kind of looks like they are knitting the photo's together
I also drew this one- which is hands crocheting. 
I can't wait to show you all of the photo's, and the blanket!! We got to see it almost finished today, and it is stunning!


I got crafty and made a blanket ladder, with foraged branches from the woods close by.


I made a cute wee cushion from fabric samples, just for the sake of it :) 
I also got a breadmaker!! yay!! i did have one for a short time a few months ago ,from a lovely friend, but it died rather quickly , sadly :( 
I'm looking forward to playing with it :)

I also get to play with this spinning wheel for a whole month!! I borrowed it from a lovely lady from our textiles group :) I'll have to show you proper pictures soon :) 


And finally... The Fog. I keep expecting to see pirates emerging at any minute (comment below if you get the reference ;) )


It has been like this for nigh on 5 days non stop! We are up so high on this hill we are practically living in the clouds anyway but this is getting ridiculous haha


What have you been up to this week? :)

    I have had several bread makers in the past, they all died on me, I would have another but it would have to come from freecycle.

    I love your creations, especially the blanket ladder. I hope you sort out your wardrobe soon. I've given up hanging things now and just use drawers. X

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 ...
