For Sale
Dolls House .. Navy coach built silver cross 60/70s twin dolls pram and white drop side cot

The pram needs some restoration only if you felt like it some rust on the chrome ..
The tudor style three story dolls house was made by a dotting Grandpa. not posh.. but could be.. a little girls dream!.
The cot seems to be too large for dolls and could even have been made crib size for a baby...!

My intention was to makeover the dolls house and the cot but i have so many projects on the go i just know its going to be ages before i can put the time to it i still have a small dolls house 60s style and small dolls pram 50s style ! But i have to be real and put sentiment to one side i need to de clutter my clutter ..i,m feeling weak at the knees at the thought of it all the sorting of the attic !! the caravan in the garden .. .and my dining room eek...a work party would be good !...
I am a self confessed hoarder...and no longer in denial ? ha ha so watch this space as i.. clear.. sort.. and recycle..! i think i could stock a shop ...

Spring has sprung ..
Sunny days are here .... better times to come ..
!
On a positive note i have been very creative i find that when i am floored with fibro days being creative is therapy for me .. and i have a feast of colour to photograph to show you all
.. .I love to see all the spring flowers and baby lambs hop skipping in the field behind the house ...new life is...amazing...
Tomorrows plan the garden centre .. we have a lot of national garden gift tokens given us as Christmas presents to use i,m thinking Hollyhocks lupins delphiniums fuchsias and bedding plants galore we are digging a new flower bed so need to fill it ..
At the last auction i bought a welsh dresser dark oaky colour in dire need of a face lift .. the plan is to paint it and wallpaper the back ..colour ?... the jury's still out on that one .
My absence this last weeks has been because I have fibromyalgia /Cf's and the symptoms have been acute and i have huge spinal skeletal damage that requires major surgery which i am mulling over whether to have it as the surgeon cannot guarantee i will be pain free after .... like a lot of nurses the no lifting policy came too late.. and i have had blogger block and brain fog ..!! and felt as though i had nothing to say .. not like me at all ..ha ha ........ but thankfully i am much improved.... Ben has had another bad seizure last week and we ended up blue lighted to Derriford hospital Plymouth until 4am !
But the fog is lifting and i have so much planned for this year ..i have a special birthday in December and am using this year as a ..i need to ...DE CLUTTER.. ... yes you heard it first here girls .......

Remember a few months back i had a lampshade dilemma...! well i was going to make a slipcover Raspberry Grace left me a link to a tutorial ...needless to say i haven't got around to it as my sewing machine needs a service the stitching gathers up underneath , luckily.. Cowslip Patchworks.. will take them as they are an agency for someone so will take it over this week
. However i found a link on another blog and found these yummy shades at giftdotcom and only 99p ! also some recycled red spotty big bags to tidy some of my clutter away , wool , fabric etc ... also a little red spotty milk jug ..i have a red spotty thing going on at the moment and have invested in some plain cream china that mixes so well with any pattern ...and looks fab on my cath kid red paisley oilcloth
Did you notice my last post the MDF shapes ? waiting to be decopatched i have done an N for my daughters birthday and am pleased with the result i went to ..Westpoint .and bought several papers i have done a big clock i bought in an auction for £1..and that looks fab i will photograph it later now i am looking around and can see loads that i could decopatch .
At last weeks auction i bought four pine dining chairs for £5 and plan to paint them all different colours i have some CK paint bought from Craig@Rose and some Farrel@Ball leftover from another project...
plenty to keep me outa mischief !!
