keeping the momentum going

I'm not feeling well today so have spent the day snuggled on the couch. I thought I'd blog some more recent pics. I love blogs with lots of pictures in them :O)

Christmas was lovely and I managed a bit of craftyness with some new stockings for the kids. I left it very last minute but I was super pleased with the results.

 

My DS, DD and I made some lovely orange pomanders which sat nicely next to a lovely Christmas scented pillow I got from Mary Poppins.

The tree was small but I liked it.  It needs to be in this house!!  We made popcorn tinsel and some saltdough decorations.  I also made a gingham present sack, as the lovely Mary P sent me some spare red gingham tea towels after I saw what she had done with them.  Easy peasy to make, even for me!

Christmas saw some lovely presents come my way.  I was very spoiled.  I got a radio I had wanted for ages, here it is in situ

 

It goes so well with my bargain of the decade (lucky we're into a new one, maybe I'll get another bargain!!), which is a Dualit toaster I picked up from the car boot sale for £2!!!!  Yes you read that right two pounds!!  Of course our scabby kettle packed up the same day so I had to go get a new one to match it all :O)

 

It would have been fab to be a colour other than cream, as you know I have a cream and beige *everything* but hey ho.   It still looks good when the kitchen is neat and tidy :oD

Well it took me till the day after I wrote this to sort all the pics out, but I've also found the camera charger so plans for more pic filled posts in the near future.
