So clear a few hours, grab a cup of tea, and enjoy...(just click below to go straight through)

Make your own rope rug

I was having a bit of me time on the computer the other day and came across this on Curbly that I just had to share...

Fancy making one?  Check out Free People to get the tutorial, and soon you could be the proud owner of your very own rope rug.

My new home?

Does anyone else get carried away picturing what their new home will look like - style , furniture, decor - everything, way before they will even be living there.  We still have about 2 months until we move in, but I cant help looking for inspiration - these are a few gorgeous ideas that I have found...

I guess I have no patience!!

My handmade Christmas

I have finally got round to taking (and gathering) some pics of some of the lovely handmade goodies I received this Christmas so I thought I would share...

Made for me by my other half - no longer does my jewellery hang on nails!!!

My Folksy Secret Santa Presents were:

This cute notebook
From the imagination of lady snail

  

And these fab cards from Ello Design

(thankyou Leanne x)

 Some of my other presents included these:

Lovely notebook from Lily Lily Handmade

A gorgeous bag like this from Girl of the Sixties

And Archibald the owl from HannahBanana

So all in all I did pretty well on the handmade front this Christmas x

The Book Tree

With a house move on the cards for the new year, I got a little carried away with the prospect of redecorating and came across these gorgeous tree shelves that I just had to share...

I'm sure I'll be able to fit one in somewhere!!

Hmmmm cakes!

It's birthday time again in our house this weekend, as my baby girl turns 10! (Where did that decade go?!) But being birthday time means its time for cake....and time to get our cake stand out!

Here are some gorgeous ones I found online earlier...

What better excuse do you need to get baking !
