It’s less than 5 weeks to Christmas so if you want to get items from my shop before Christmas you need to order especially made to order items. The postal serves gets busy and things take longer to arrive so get your orders in fast.

I cannot believe how long it’s been sins I have been on hear I have not got any further with the B&B still need to find the fabric to do the large bedroom and decide on colours for the dining room. But when I was thinking about the dining room I thought I am going to need food so I got the fimo out to have a go at making a breakfast. I made the breakfast  but then I got into making food so not for the B&B but just because I was having fun I made spaghetti bolognas and garlic bread then  Christmas dinner and cakes  being made so after all that I thought a nice light salad was what was needed.

shabby chic

I thought you might like to see the new shabby chic items I have added to my shop. So far just the kitchen and bathroom but I plan on adding a bedroom and possibly a living room.

Nothing done on the B&B again I have order the cushions for the 3^rd bedroom so they should arrive next week but still not found  fabric for the bedding or chosen a bed I am struggling  with this room bit. The shop has been busy but quieted down a bit now got all my orders out and got some of the items that had sold out bake in the shop so now I need to come up with some new things to add. I need to spend some time sorting my real house as my daughter gets bake from her summer in Ibiza in 3 weeks and right now she has no bedroom. I have started painting some furniture for her as she as always wanted an old fashioned bedroom set but painted and given a shabby chic look. I started about 2 months ago and then it just stopped its much easier doing dolls house size.

It’s been a funny weekend in my etsy shop I noticed on Thursday night I was on 799 sales so got exited waiting for 800 well I did not get it on Thursday nothing Friday nothing Saturday waited all day Sunday and at last it came on Sunday night followed by more so was on 806 then this morning more again so now I am on 812 funny how that happens you wait days and then lots at ones.  It would be great if I could get to 1000 by the end of the year. I want to add some new items  but just now I am not have much Luke coming up with ideas I had a play with a couple of things but was not happy with them I suppose the ideas are like the sales nothing then I will get lots all at the same time. Well I suppose I should get to work on my orders hope everyone has had a good weekend.

B&B update

I suppose I should update you all on what has been happening at the B&B work is going very well one bedroom the small single room on the top floor is nearly finished and work has started on the shabby chic style double room and the bathroom both also on the top floor . The entrance hall as I desk so guests can check and a nice seat where they can sit and rest with a table full of information on all the local places to go.

I was thinking about Christmas and wondering what the furniture in Santa’s house would look like and this is how I decided it would look a little distressed and well used in a traditional style and of cores Christmas colours.
