Busy, busy..............and waiting.....

Busy the last couple of days putting old clay flower pots, oasis flower foam (oooh, I hate the squeaky sensation when you cut it....), candles and thrifted, artificial - sorry! - foliage together -

I made them to sell on my stall, but then woke up early the other morning and started panicking about someone's house burning down (over Christmas, small children, etc..... do you have those sort of half-awake nightmares? or is it just me!) and it being my fault ('the fire started with a Christmas candle decoration which consisted of highly flammable artificial materials.....police are seeking a stall-holder in the Ludlow area....).  So I've put some tags on saying 'decoration only' - duh, that'll help.

(please ignore un-hoovered carpet)

Got a plain wreath too - and jazzed it up -

I found these pretty dangly decorations in a charity shop too - 

They're about 6 inches long - I've got a glam friend who'd wear them as ear-rings!

Got round to painting a plain shelf I got last week too - 

(in our hall, or on the stall.....not sure yet!)

And made some stuffed birds from IKEA fabric (£1.99 a metre!!!!!!) - 

I've also been admiring my two (TWO) new kettles - I don't know how this happened (;0 ) , but we needed a new kettle for the (as yet half-built) new kitchen. This lovely (well, I love it) one was 25% off in Debenhams sale online -

 

and this one was reduced in TK Maxx (rude not to buy, I thought....) -

(Of course, one's electric and one's for a gas cooker........does that justify the purchases?   No, thought not!)

*********************************

Found this lovely notice-board today too - amongst the chaos that is our cellar! Bought it ages ago from a shop that was closing down. The pins are like little birds' eggs - very cute!

 

And the dolls and teddies are waiting for new grand-daughter (due a week today!) -

Have a good day :)
