Dresser Complete!!

Ta-da! Granda's dresser is complete. Just got it up to Charlie's room tonight and it looks great with the wallpaper!!

I got a few tester pots from B&Q mixed to match the stripes of the wallpaper. They'll not be that hard wearing but there's plenty of paint leftover to do any wee touch ups required!

The two wee dogs were made by my Dad when he was at school. I just sanded them down too and painted them. I think they look great and Charlie already loves them!!

Here are a few 'before' pics of the dresser. Unfortunately I didn't take one before I started sanding!!

I'm still Alive!!

Gosh it's been ages since I've written anything!! Though I'm sure that no-one has noticed! We're still out in the country using this dongle thing to get online and it's so rubbish that I avoid using the internet unless I need to.

So to update you all we are nearly ready to move back home and I'm so excited about getting into the 'new' house. I will post pics when I get some and when I'm using a different connection so I don't go crazy waiting on it to load up!

Back to work about 2months now and it's goin fine. I'm enjoying being back to get some more adult conversatia bit of craic with the girls.

Charlie in now 1!! Which is so hard to belive as I just started this blog shortly after he was born and it doesn't seem that long ago.

Have been busy so haven't made that much. A few crocheted brooches and the beginnings of a scarf. Will also post pics of these soon.

Our First Night

Had our first night out in the country where we will be living while the renovations are going on. Will post a few pics when I take some.

It's great just a lovely wee place for the 3 of us. Charlie slept in his own room last night and had a great night's sleep and so did we!

Woke up this morning to a beautiful morning and a fab view of the countryside. Back home at the minute clearing up a few more bits and bobs - which is what I am meant to be doing rather that blogging!! But Ian never reads this so he'll never know!! Sssshh!!

Also must remember to get the next part of my crochet mag which I'm really enjoying! I checked out some of the crochet pics on flickr and there is some great inspiration!
