Back in the swing...

I'm pleased to report that I'm fighting fit and back in the chipper workshop, albeit with a new set of dust masks. Attractive!
And to prove it here are some of my Christmas products:
(sorry about the major photo tomfoolery...I can't help myself sometimes)
All available @ www.notonthehighstreet.com/chippernelly
 I'm also pleased to report that I have still got my crochet mojo on (completely addicted in fact) and amongst other things have started making a fair few snowflakes for the Christmas Tree 
 I bought some really cheap wool with added glitter and shading...looks lovely but man, it makes my eyes itch! 
Next step is to spray starch them so they hang flat....
 Other than that I've been playing with dried orange (like you do) and mod podging dictionary print on to leaves to 'Autumn Up' the kitchen.

Yes, I clearly fail to prioritise and put painting leaves before the washing pile. In fact WAY before!!!
When a kitchen needs Autumning up what can you do?

On a more productive note Cleggy and I have both been busy cleaning (in my case FINDING) our half of the workshop. It's such a lovely space and has been neglected of late. 
We still need some more storage so I can't share the whole room 
but here are the finished bits:
Cleggy's side
and my side....








I can't remember the last time I could see this much desk!
And now we have a new window I can see the chickens in the very back bit of the garden!
It's a Mummy and GB day today 
(big boys had their half term last week Grrrr) 
so we're off to see Madagascar 3 in 3D. Wooo hooo! 
I'm taking both chocolate and crochet!

  4. Great to hear your voice again Fee.

    What a wonderful space, all calm on one side and I like, then all jolly and busy on yours and I love. Mike who doesn't do DIY at all told me he's going to build a shed one day. I nodded smiling thinking that means never then. Love your stove in there too. Perfect. Enjoy munching and hooking in the dark.

  9. Love looking around your study, its quite funny looking at your side and then Cleggys side, you have a love of bunting, always makes a space look good I think. Like you I mod podge a lot of stuff, its a miracle product, it even mended one of my broken nails yesterday, and it's still holding fast after a hot shower. Glad you have your mojo back hun xxx

  14. So glad to hear you are feeling much perkier! Love the blocks - very special - and when I see your blocks it makes me think of happy family times! Loved the photos of the workshop - the two sides are so different!

  15. Wow! Have you ever been busy and it shows! I've been busy and have nothing to show for it except crumbs around my mouth maybe! Ha! Ha! Where do I start? Okay, your photos and Christmas items are GORGEOUS!!!!!! The crochet is beautiful too and I love that sparkly yarn and I too have had "itchy" eyes from yarn before! I thought it was just me or Fall or something but I think it's the yarn! You know I love Cleggy but I have to say I like your side of the room better! LOL! I'm always attracted to color and lots of it! I was probably a female bird in my last life. And the Fall decor...BRILLIANT, I SAY! I dried whole oranges that had been around too long...some molded but I got a few but yours are like jewels hanging in the window...duh, why didn't I think of slicing them...I'd have so many more by now! And the leaves with dictionary print....amazing! I just can't beleive one person can have so much talent. You Go Girl!

  16. Hmmm you seemed to leave out that you were actually 'Autumning' up the kitchen whilst we tried to make lunch for a family of 7/8 involving 2 different meal choices and a pesky toddler. I love that. When you have something in mind...

    I also love the picture effects and the fact I can now come and chat to you in the workshop and get a seat...

    Trying my hardest to get this baby out before Spain, sos it just isn't moving,

  23. I feel your house is overdue a photo shoot for a major magazine! Mine would more likely feature as the wild card in To Buy or Not to Buy ;D

    Haven't forgotten your laser prints m'dear, honest, just been hopeless about getting them to the post!
