Kitchen makeover progress

Hello!
A couple of months ago I started a kitchen makeover and I'm still not finished! Since the last update, I've hung a new old door curtain from Flo's stash, spray painted a stags head, made a new window dressing from a vintage curtain and used the left over fabric for a trio of hoops so it's looking a bit like this....

Still to sort out the botched job of the tiles behind the cooker and maybe paint the rest of the unit doors white, can't decide! Maybe leave that until next summer, a new floor would be nice too!

Hope you're having a good week, I'm glad we're over the hump!

Apple Pip

Today I took a walk with my friend Catherine and their new pup Apple. We headed to the lough shore of Lough Neagh where Apple met some new friends, terrorised the ducks and put a smile on everyones faces...

 Hope you're all having a lovely weekend xx

Home

Hello!
I'm home after 3 nights away, if you follow me on Instagram you'll see the sort of antics I get up to to keep my self amused in my hotel room, bubble hairdoos, does anyone else do this? We don't have a bath so it's a little luxury when I stay away with work, and bubble hairdoos are a lot of fun!
It's good to back in our cosy home....

Happy Friday everyone xx

Put a bird on it

Hello,
Today I finished off my epic bird picture, my biggest one yet, one hundred and twenty one birds to be exact! The birds are made from vintage fabric and everyone is different. My favourite part of making my bird pictures is when I get to add the eyes, beaks and legs, each little bird seems to come to life....

 Hope you're all having a great weekend xx

Making for Refound

Hello!
I called into Refound today to drop off some new things I've made recently. It was great to catch up with Jill and her mum, it's been ages since I've been in. We had a coffee, a chat and a dance, just a regular Saturday morning in Refound when Jill's mum is there! If you're in Belfast pop up and say hello! Or check out the Refound Etsy Shop
I made some new pictures, vintage fabric and thrifted scrabble letters....

 Please pop over to Kylies blog, and support her Frocktober event she's raising money for Ovarian Cancer.
And maybe YOU can help my blog friend Emma, head over to Oooh Betty to read the project Mr Betty is involved with, maybe you'd like to make something too? I couldn't sleep last night thinking about what I was going to make!

Have a great weekend everyone xx

I'm the one who makes

Yo!
Last night we watched the final episode of Breaking Bad. I'm not sure how to describe how I felt other than that I took to the craft room to gather my thoughts and made some Breaking Bad coasters as therapy. As I crafted as Badfinger blasted on repeat from downstairs as the big lad lamented, he probably knows the song of by heart now. Baby Blue will be what Don't Stop Believing was for the Sopranos, an epic song for an epic finish. For those of you who haven't watched the show, I won't spoil any of your viewing pleasure by talking about what happens, alls I'm sayin' is, all the hype, all the great reviews. it's true the show is AMAZING!! SO WATCH IT!!
