Red and Green Should Never be Seen...says who??!!

Not me!
Hee hee..
I love that colour combination,
so don't come telling me all about what and why
you shouldn't put them together,
I've done it now.
Too late.

Let me show you what I've been making
for my
'Sindy Caravan'

No prizes for guessing what all these triangles shall become...


Speedy wizz round with Chine
(not Mrs Jones you may notice)


Now this thing doesn't see the light of day
very often at this house...


There we go!

All done.
Well, I do have to do it all again as it's for hanging
along the windows in Sindy, so she looks all cutie
from the outside in.


I also gave my cupboard a splash of colour too recently ...
then roughed it up a little.
My Dad thought I hadn't finished it and
said I needed to give it another coat.
Humph!!

Hope you're all happy and well.

Love C. x

In The Dog House!

HELP NEEDED!



Don't worry...
Basil is not in the dog house as such,
but we do have a Kennel!

A very kind friend
has given us this very sturdy
very large,
and VERY blue kennel.

So...
any of you clever ladies
have any ideas for a makeover?



Red?

Get your thinking caps on girls.


I've been quite into 'shed makeovers'
of late and over the Summer
this tatty corner of the garden
got a tidy up...



I'm thinking that disclosing
photos like this should be embarrassing,
but it's real life, and i'm sure the
'Mothers of boys'
out there, will understand.

After an exciting trip to the
reclaimation yard
we came home with a scruffy old window
from what would've been a part of
a gorgeous sash window
once upon a time.



We cleaned it up and gave it some
shiny paint...



Then fastened it onto the old shed,
after it had been 'shoved' over a few feet
into it's new spot in the corner, onto some
newly laid flags,
and given a fresh lick of paint.


A lack of plants and flowers
and the hedge needs a trim
but Rome wasn't built in a day eh?!

So...

have you come up with any
fabulous ideas for this yet?



Seeing as it will be sat next to
the other shed, in the back garden,
should they match???



A double makeover
for you to think about...

Better get cracking you lot!

Love Claire. xxx
