Welcome to my blog!
I've decided to set this up to share a little bit about the walks that we do, what books I read and basically our life in general. I intend to keep adding different links and information along the way, so please come back from time to time and see what there is, and feel free to comment on anything.

Whittling!

The last week has been a bit of a whirlwind, filled with whittling and painting. 

I have a three day craft fair coming up at the end of this month, and one thing that I really want to do this year is to do more whittling and have more fully handcrafted items for sale. So, our house has been a bit full of wood shavings lately! Each piece takes quite a while to do, but I was very pleased with this wooden heart ......

 

......and I'm working on a few small wooden spoons ......

 

 

I might just get 6 or 7 ready to take with me, and a couple of hearts. Enough for people to see what I can do, and see what reaction I get. 

 
 
We've also been decorating our dining room. The lounge is almost finished - just waiting for a new fire and fireplace to be fitted in a few weeks. Decorating the dining room has involved emptying my four bookcases. I like reading. I have a LOT of books. And they all had to be moved ......and this isn't half of them ........! 

 

Thankfully, with hard work, we managed to get all the painting done at the weekend, and even fit in a visit to DDs on Saturday night! My dining room is now finished - yay! And my books are back in their rightful place ....

 

After too many years we have finally decorated. The only problem now is that having freshly painted rooms downstairs, it makes the rest of the house look a bit tired.  So we may be doing more painting soon........
