Hello isn't it chilly this week, but so lovely to see the sun and have some decent light to take photographs in. So anyway whilst all the bedroom decorating was taking place I was busy with a couple of projects. A nice relaxing granny blanket in restful blues and greens. This is a really late Birthday gift for my dad and just in time as he really feels the cold, he'll love snuggling under this while he watches the rugby!
I used Stylecraft yarn, I just adore the range of colours and the way it drapes is wonderful.

It's been a joy to create, a real stressbuster.

And my other project has been created by me from scratch. Dyed the yarn, spun the yarn and then knitted it into this fabulous poncho using this gorgeous pattern from Churchmouse Yarns and Teas

Now the eagle eyed amongst you will notice that it is knitted. I know two needles, blimey haven't done that for a few years

It was very simple, it would have to be I'm a real dunce when it comes to the two needle tango.  Slow too,…

Well my friends it was  WELL WORTH THE WAIT Looooooook How gorgeous! The bed finally arrived on Valentines Day very romantic. I am so delighted with the whole effect, calm and peaceful a real haven.

I really love how the fireplace turned out, so glad we kept it, the mirror is one we've had kicking around forever and is now given pride of place. Just a bit of faffing required with a few pretty thing to complete the look.

I'm completely in love with the wallpaper it was ridiculously expensive but sooooooooooo worth it, makes me hap, hap, happy looking at it. I think it's a real mood lifter! And that bed is unbelievably comfy, OMG so comfy.  Even after only two sleeps we are feeling revived and full of energy. Fabulous

We also revamped an old brass chandelier, well I say we but really it was the work of Lovely man. We've had this in our garage for literally years, unloved and hidden. Lovely Man did an amazing paint job on it and now it's just perfect.

Now I know what you're think…

I know it's been ages since I last visited you. I don't seem to be able to keep up with things at the moment, way to busy! I've been struck down with yet another virus (pesky kids) and have been feeling really rather down. Maybe it's the weather, maybe it's the job, maybe it's just everything. Not sure. Anyway work continues on our Dream bedroom and that I can report is looking fantastic! However it is a little s..l..o..w. Am beginning to lose track of where exactly I keep my knickers now and don't ask where my trousers are I've no idea, also the iron............gone!  I need to get back into my own bedroom very soon. So far this is what we've achieved. Remove fire P Strip woodchip off the walls yuk! P Dip the doorsP Get a new carpet laidP New radiatorP ReplasterP PaintP
I haven'tany photos of the beautiful newly plastered room for you because frankly it's been too grey and dark to take any.


So this is what it all looked like just before the plasterer came. N…
