Some thrifting and awards

This may come out as a load of waffle as I'm very tired. Lily has had a really high temperature at night for the last 4 days so has been awake most the night, even calpol hasn't worked but thankfully she's ok now. Anyway I felted my woolies this morning, well I think I have they've certainly shrunk and I scooped a ton of fluff out of the tumble drier! Now I've got to try and make something with it. The rest of the week was spent painting these frames and the printers tray - tedious!

And then I played with this little old cupboard, I glued a piece of CK oilcloth on the door and then lined the inside with some wallpaper and plastic lace! Roll on the Spring when you can actually take a decent photo!

That photo is so blurry sorry.

I've also been making things for the January swap the theme being Cath Kidstonesque but I haven't sent them yet so will post photos when Boysmum3 receives them.

Now when I went to the jumble sale I did get a few bits and pieces:

A large rose pyrex casserole

Some plates, I've now filled my plate rack so I'm going to have to start swapping them around or get another rack :)

Some china etc - I was really pleased to find the green Woods ware as I have the matching teapot and coffee pot.

Some curtains for the fabric.

I don't make a habit of buying teddies but this TY bear was so cute for 10p and she goes well with the yellow rimmed bowls - very Spring like.

Don't go thinking that I've lost the plot (like everyone at home does lol) but I saw this little lady looking so dirty faced, unwanted and forlorn that I had to have her, she was 20p but it must've taken someone ages to make her. I couldn't leave her to get trampled on and hopefully I'll be able to get that grubby face clean!

I'm liking jumble sales very much as i also got a fairly new Boden jacket for 20p and an unworn Zara jacket also 20p, it's a pity you don't see them often.
