Sleep tight....

You really cant bet a good nights sleep in a comfortable bed.....Can you??

I decided to upgrade my bed just over a week ago now and OH BOY...........I am so thankful I did!! I sleep like a baby (other than the pain in my teeth again!)!!

Then of course my grandmother being the very generious and lovely woman she is decided she wanted to buy me new bedding!! Of course niothing would do but to buy the full bedroom set....yes new curtains and all!!! I love them....so rich in colour and just lovely!!

I will be working on hanging the curtains tomorrow night...but the bedding is on now and very comfortable if I say so myself!!

What do you think?

Garden in bloom!

So my mom is a real Green thumb person....me on the other hand sadly am not. I would love to have a pretty garden someday but only if someone else would look after it.

It is a lot of work to make sure they all grow right and get enough water and sun etc etc.....too much hard work!!! ha-ha

However.....here are a few pictures of my moms garden!

Look what I got!!

The church sale was awesome for a lot of people!!

I got a few little things to keep for Richard and I's own future home!

Four Jane Austin books for 50pence = 0.79cents
Pride and Prejudice (1813), Sense and Sensibility (1811), Northanger Abbey and Persuasion (1818).




I LOVE Sudoku....I really am addicted to it! So I thought this was a great buy for £1.00 = $1.59


I loved this the first time I seen it sitting on the table and no one bought it. So close to the end of the sale I thought...'Why not?'....so I bought it!! 50pence = 0.79cents
It will go nice in the hallway of our future little home!


I was given these next two items free, as at the closing of the sale we had items left over which were going to he Charity stores in the local area.
This will go great in my future kitchen. I love e whole country kitchen theme and I know I will have more country feel items come closer the time!!


Also picked this up as I LOVE anything with Angels on them. It is so tiny....it is just a little ornament.


I had a great day and I love Church sales!!

How to make a simple coat rank

I seen this on Flax and Spindle and I just had to share! I think it is beautiful and it is so easy to make!!

• A piece of wood at the local hardware store. I recommend measuring the area you wish to hang this and determine the length from there.
  
• Find any knobs that appeal to you, I went with drawer knobs. These are easy to find. If you're a junker like I am you can collect some really cool knobs from estate sales or your local antique shop, if not, places like Target, Ikea or Home Depot have lots to choose from.
  
• I used regular satin wall paint for the wood and let it dry completely. Then, simply measure, mark and drill the spots for your knobs and attach, that's it!
  
• Mix it up any way you'd like. who says it has to be cottage style? Make it contemporary or casual. This was super fun to make and lovely to look at too!

I also want to try this with some fabric! I think it would be cool in stripes or covering the whole thing in fabric.

Kids room fun!

• ½” and 1” flat brush 11” x 19”
• unfinished framed mirror
• 1 – 3” mini script magnetic “L”
• 2 - 3” mini script magnetic “O”
• 1 – 3” mini script magnetic “K”
• ¾” wood circles
• 1” wood circles
• 13 iridescent rhinestones
• Glue

1. Basecoat main part of frame with Silver Anniversary and inner and outer border with Violet Pansy. When dry, apply several coats of corresponding glitter paint.
2. Basecoat letters with Azure Blue and apply several coats of Turquoise glitter when dry.
3. Referring to photo for color, basecoat wood circles and then glitter.
4. Glue letters and circles to front of frame as shown, then glue rhinestones to letters and circles.

(You can obviously change the colors to suit your chosen room. You could also change the letters to the name of your child)

I wanna craft!

I love crafts and I wanna make a few handbags!!

Think I should get some patterns...only problem is I will have to do them hand sewn - I have no sewing machine and I don't think I could bring myself to spend the money on a good one!!

Well if I do go ahead and make a few handbags...this i the style I want to go for!






I wont be starting these for a while....as I am currently still working on the Jewellery selections!! Loving the Jewellery making!

Being Green!

I am all for being a 'green person'!! I saw this today and thought wow thats pretty neat!! So here you go.....I thought it was worth a share. Also I think you could design your own bags!




For all you crafty people I am sure you could come up with some genius way to reinvent these to help around the home!
