The work on the house started at the same time so that's made it even harder.
Everything is looking lovely but I'll be glad when the workmen pack up and go home. Another month I should think.
Once the work has finished I can start on the exciting bit. Shabby chic-ing all my charity shop finds. I have a phone chair, Welsh dresser, table with 6 chairs and a side board to repaint. It's all very exciting and has kept my creative alter ego happy since all my crochet stuff has been put away.
Speaking of crochet, I put all my hookie happiness away while the workmen have been here. All my WIP, all my lovely yarn stuffed into cardboard boxes where I can't see then, sob :(
So I went down to Minerva and bought more yarn and made some tea cosies :) happy again!
The button is absolutely gorgeous! My mum found them stuffed in an old icecream tub. They belonged to my grandmother (the original Dolly). They are so very old. My mum has a photo of my grandmother, when she was young, wearing a coat with these same buttons, how amazing is that?!
And here is my other little lovely.
I'll pop links to the sites when I'm on my main computer, it may be some time as its in a box!
Well, it's taken 3 days to write this post, but I feel better now that I'm sending some crochet loveliness out into the world :)
Sweet dreams xxxxx
