Ah, I'm done, everything is ready. All I need to do now is sit back, relax and enjoy the festivities. I hope you have fun, what ever you are doing, and I look forward to catching up in the new year. For now I'll leave you with a few inside shots of my new favourite shop - mentioned in a previous post -...
I really enjoyed having goals for Autumn, short term goals seem easier than year long resolutions - and they tend to be fun things as well as 'improvement' orientated - so I'm taking part in Wonderful Winter with Lucy again. The first two goals are ones from Awesome Autumn that I failed to do. 1. Walk in the woods Not difficult (or so...
When joining Lucy for Awesome Autumn, my goals were few and simple. Forage for sloes and make some gin I found the sloes, I found the recipe, I found a demijohn (albeit dusty and covered in cobwebs). This happened people, this totally happened. I've since been told that the finished product is much nicer if left for a year, and I can't believe...

I made my own Christmas wreath this year and it hadn't occurred to me to share it with you all until I saw Janet's (and I call myself a blogger, tsk!). Check out her post for a step-by-step guide. It's super easy and a fraction of the cost of store bought. I used holly and a florists oasis - whereas Janet used...
OK, so I'm well and truly feeling festive! The wreaths are on the doors and a few decorations have found themselves being dotted about the house. The tree is arriving on Saturday, a prospect that I am ridiculously excited about, it takes me hours to decorate but when I'm done I spend more time gazing at it that I do the telly. My...
I didn't posted much at all last month, what with one thing and another I just didn't find the time. November was a busy one. I'm still forging ahead with my 4-4-4 Challenge. Although daily photos have fallen by the wayside, I'm enjoying it. I'll update you on that in another post. I've been decorating and it's been hard work! The side hallway...
Hiya! How have you been? I didn't realise it'd been so long since my last post until Kezzie left a comment ending "New blog post please!!!??!?!x" How can I ignore that many exclamation marks and question marks? I wondered what I could write about for a new post and decided to write about something I'd found myself pondering a few days ago. Which...
Here we are at the end of Challenge 4-4-4 and, as I used to say to my Mum, 'I'm fiiinnnnnnnnnished!' I liked and enjoyed this challenge a lot. So-much-so I'm it all over again, so it's not technically finished, but I started afresh on Saturday with a new selection of items. Whilst some outfits weren't in the least bit interesting I liked and...
