Got quite a bit achieved yesterday, finished up at school and have got on top of the paperwork. Just need to come to a decision about what and how we are going to use Tapestry moving forward. Have read so much and so many different viewpoints that my head is spinning. Currently waiting for a skip to be delivered as my husband and his brother are taking the next couple of weeks off work and completely renovating our bathroom. So excited, it’s the same awful bathroom that my mother in law had before we bought the house from her and that was 23 years ago! So it’s been a very long time coming. Not looking forward to having to use the outside toilet for the next couple of weeks and popping to my sons house to use his shower, but it will be with it.

We have sunshine in Cornwall! It’s a real novelty this year!
-
Advent figures finished. Quite pleased with them, I am no artist or painter! Onto the nativity set next.
-
Eau de spaniel in my house as well! Someone decided to stray from the path and run through the recently muck spreaded field this morning!
-
Our nearest is 2.5 hours away!😢 Only ever been to IKEA once in my life, good job I don’t live nearer as I loved it!
-
Sorry about that! Don’t look at the sticker house then! I am so tempted by a vinyl to go on top of our low level storage but am resisting the temptation until we get the fundraising going again!
-
Have you seen the website the sticker house. They do loads of stickers for home corner furniture.

Not sure if this is any use to anyone or not, but will pop it here. 2021.08.13 Schools Flowchart v13.pdf

Oh no, poor little mite, it must be so traumatising for her. I hope everything goes ok with the next procedure.

Here’s today’s delivery ready for painting! The objects in the bag are nativity figures. I’ve also got the August Perrybox waiting to be painted and my advent calendar objects! Can we have another six weeks holiday please!

Great news about Mr S 😘😘
-
If you are on FB have a look at the Perry’s customer creations group. Some inspiring ideas on there.
-
I highly recommend taking a look at the Perry’s woodcraft site BUT be warned it’s slightly addictive! I’m currently painting the advent set for that festive time we are not allowed to mention yet!
-
Oh good I know! I just can’t justify that at all. Each to his own I know and a lot of people would be horrified by our wedding! Registry office followed by a Chinese buffet at a restaurant and back to ours for nibbles in the evening! The whole lot, that includes everything cost a £1000. Just the closest family and friends and that was it, to me this was perfect!

What a fab idea, build a wedding dress, love it. I am currently obsessed with the say yes to the dress programme, just love it. Which is very weird as dresses and weddings and all that fuss is not my style. When I got married I went by myself to Debenhams and bought the first dress I tried on and it was only £125!! If it had been my choice I would have got married in jeans! It literally boggles my mind seeing some of these extravagant weddings!
-
This is my hungry caterpillar set from Perry’s woodcraft that I have painted to add to our story sack.
-
Wow, love the top dress she looks lovely. You I’ll have to share a photo of them both on the day in their dresses.
-
It really is! I spent yesterday getting up to date photos of the children sent to me and printing new labels etc, just doing that takes an age, then family photos then photos of their favourite pets! Then new name labels printed and laminated. Sometimes it the smallest things that take up the most time. Back to school next week to finish everything, then time to forget about it completely🤣famous last words!
-
Oh god they really are! The first couple of weeks always seems to go so slow in the summer but then they seem to speed up double time!
-
Think they must do CPD courses in how to be patronising and slimy!
-
Salesmen are my pet hate! Sorry to anyone who has a family member who is one!😬 I am sure they are wonderful people outside of their job!
-
Well done you. I’m still feeling daunted and a bit lost!
-
Putting up backing paper is a real b**ch! Every year when I do it, I say next year I’m going to ask for help. I’ve just come back from doing one board and it left me at screaming point! The board is 18 foot in length so not easy🤯. Next year, I’m going to ask for help….🤣

Froglet, those are fab, you are very clever.
