Halloween spooky goings on

Image
It's the most wonderful time of the year!!!! I love Halloween almost as much as Christmas. The air is changing - some leaves have already started to fall in the front garden which heralds the start of my most favourite seasons . I can think of nothing nicer than the wind howling outside while I'm safe and warm inside with candles flickering and a nice cosy throw over me too keep me snug. I'm looking forward to decorating the house again, I decided last year that I didn't want to go over the top with colour so I started collecting little bits and pieces that looked old. My plan was to hold a small party as our house isn't the biggest . I found a plain coloured witches cardboard hat in hobby craft for £5.00 which resembled the sorting hat from Harry Potter, so I set about painting it. I bought some acrylic paints from the range and set about painting it up layering on the colour it was quite easy I just kept going adding darker and lighter tones unt...

Christmas 2015

So here it is first post of the year and what a miserable day greets me as i type this. It is now February!!!! We seem to have bypassed winter and gone straight into spring, the daffodils are already out on the road sides and even the lazy little ones in my garden have been awoken far too early for there liking.

Christmas Bedding and Felting Mayhem

Image
Having sorted out the upstairs cupboard and organizing the duvet sets by placing them in their corresponding pillowcases, I decided to treat myself to a new Christmas duvet. I love all the folksy fabrics and the simple felted Christmas shapes that set those wonderful homemade Christmas scenes in the magazines, i am a huge fan of pinterest and i seem to be drawn to this style of late so when i found this duvet set and matching throw from George at such a brilliant price, I had to buy it. Throw £20.00 , Double Duvet £12.00 by George at Asda. The colors are perfect and the taupe matches my bedroom curtains and decor perfectly. i cant wait until it is on the bed!! Now i'm not the greatest at sewing, and my eyesight is not what it used to be either, so anything involving threading a needle was going to be a challenge. Having decided that creating my own designs of felting Christmas nostalgia would be relatively simple,  things didn't really go to plan. After a few bo...
