Daisy's curtains and other oddities.

While making these curtains recently I remembered

why,  in my last house, I didn't have any curtains up at all.

It was because I dislike making them with such a passion 

that I can't quite believe I had forgotten!

Anyway the trauma is over now and they're up

and I am no longer living in a goldfish bowl.

No one will ever know that the hem at one end is 1 inch deep

while the other end measures 4 inches.

No, no one will ever know.

The house is coming together now.

It's a real mish-mash of furniture collected over the years.

But it's here because I either love it, it's comfortable or slightly odd!

Like this collection.

A baby pink piano, a cookery journal by Jessie Chorley,

a couple of  bears and my velveteen pig-or-bat.

I can't decide which she is.

I found her at an antiques fair many years ago with her torn dress 

and only one arm and had to bring her home.

Lost stuffing bear and ugly mutt always sit together and always have.

Some of the 'Arkellets' sit on the fireplace keeping an eye on the neighbours.

Oh no!  I spy a blank wall!
I will have to sort that. :)

The hearts are gathering on the wall.

My Christmas present to myself was this dottie angel piece.

Simply hung with  my favourite Washi tape.

Have a good weekend chums.

I will be making sample button jewellery for a workshop next weekend.

Daisy's Found A New Home!

With less than 7 weeks to my moving date

I have finally got a new place to live thanks to my knight

in shining armour (my darling Dad)

It's on the road that I was born.

It's where my siblings and I grew up.

(See above. Sorry people!)

It's also where my children were born and raised.

It's going back to my roots to take a breather

and gather myself and decide what I want to do

with my life.

My new journey will start from where my life first began

and that in itself is a comfort.

Enjoy your evening.

love Daisy xx
