Well it's all but finished, I'm waiting for a new unit for the alcove and something for the wall, new blinds oh and a door, but mostly it's cosmetic and I can live with it like this until they are in place.
This was my dream fire, I long way better than my old one.
Most nights you will catch me with my back to it hitching my skirt up to get a warm.
The pictures just don't do it justice.
It's so lovely to get back in this room and get some order back in the house.
Poor Chris has worked like a Trojan to get it in order for me.
It's brilliant to sit and play with inks and glitter and have fun crafting, the Stylish Silhouettes from Hunkydory Crafts lets you do just that.
I masked off my card with masking tape and used copper and gold Brilliance inks to create a rectangle down the length of the card using a little cut and dry foam.
Using the Stylish Silhouettes butterflies I add Sticky Mitts glue ot one half of the butterflies and sprinkled them with Diamond Sparkle glitters then added the butterflies half on and half off the inked rectangle.
I finished with one of the sentiments from the Stylish Silhouettes inked with the same Brilliance ink.
Not just Adorable Scorable but Pearlescent too, who would have thought that a year ago I would be so impressed with a range of card stock that I would remove all other card stock from my craft room?
Well I did and I haven't looked back.
Tomorrow I have the privilege of showing you some extra special Pearlescent Adorable Scorable, I thought is would be impossible to make this any better but Hunkdory proved me wrong.
My show times on Create and Craft TV are Sunday 4pm and 9pm, Monday 8am, 6pm & 9pm Tuesday 9am.
Ruth takes over on Tuesday at 5pm.
It never rains but it pours.
Finally the temperature is starting to rise and we can get the much needed work done to the outside of the house that has stopped us from finishing our room.
Thankfully we have good friends that are in the building trade and that we trust to do the job properly.
Our home was built in 1908 so I guess the renovations are well over due.
As you can see the pointing was a little more than expected and porous bricks had to be removed.
It seams that we have had a 100 years of rubbish (crap as the builder termed it) fall between double wall so all of this rubbish (crap) needs to be removed.
As you can see it is quite a few bricks that has to be removed and replaced.
As they say, they don't build them as they used to.
You can see the bricks on the other side that need to be removed, the porous bricks are covered in white salt.
So lots of hammering and banging to get this all done but at least we are starting to see a light at the end of a very dark tunnel.
