i did do a little crafting over the holidays !!!!!

Well hello all.......and a happy new year to everyone.......i really do hope that 2010 is a good year for everyone !!!
You know time really does flies when you are having fun !!! well that is what as happened to me this christmas and new year....and as you can see the lounge is now finished, it was all done and dusted by the 13th december.......phew......but i haven't got around to posting the pics till now....well i had christmas to get organised and bought and wrapped up in the 2 weeks before !!!! i managed to get it all ready but it really took it out of me.... so resting ...eating and drinking (i am seriously getting worried about my wine intake !!!) and generally having a good old time was had.........

I am really pleased with my new cath kidston curtains..... i bought the fabric and made them myself..........it was so easy to do, although it was very nerve racking cutting into £90- worth of fabric...........

and having an open fire is so lovely and cosy.......although some evenings it is hard to get things done, has it is so hard to tear yourself away from it.................but in this very snowy weather who wants to eh !!! i'm as snug as a bug with my fire, mulled wine (yes more wine !!) and crochet....well i am determined to learn to crochet this year.......that and learning to jive are the top my to do lists this year !!!! so watch this space...............
