A two week catch up

We brought the Dolls house down from Meiras bedroom as she has really started to play with it, carrying our little role plays like knocking on the doors and shopping for food and going to bed, it is lovely to watch.














Tem got a bit of time this last weekend to do some more to the dining room so the ceiling has been papered and I think this weekend the chimney breast and right-hand alcove will be plastered.

and still on the house theme this is our bargain mirror (£30!) which looks lovely hanging on the previously blank wall in our living room.








Meira and I have been getting into the Christmas spirit and making some felt and button hanging trees to give to family to hang on their Christmas trees.  Meira picks out the buttons for the trees and I sew them on, after 3 or so buttons Meira is bored though and either happily plays with the buttons or pulls my arm to go and find something more interesting to play so they are taking a while.  I'm determined not to 'take over' though and to continue letting her pick and help.










And these are some Christmas tree earrings I made for a friend,  I had been playing around with the wire and made the tree shape, minus the beads, which she saw and asked if I would make something similar into earrings for her to wear at work, so I did and here they are.  I am really pleased with how they came out.
