Brightening up my day

Dear Friend...
How cold is it???
Freezing here at the moment...
Some nights as cold as -5 degrees...
Too cold to go outside I think...
But after a little inspiration from my dear friend and her peachy pages of summer sunshine
and with a package from the postman...
I was feeling much brighter...and warmer...

I took my African violet for a spot of sun baking and it is feeling just as warm now...
I do hope the sun is shinning and you are feeling just as bright and chirpy...
with lots of colour and granny goodness...
Regards my dear...

Oh Deer Me...

My dear friend...
After a very busy week of pattern writing and lots of printing...
I thought it was time to relax and do some rearranging and prettying up of
the kitchen wall at the cottage...

I added some more thrifty find plates...
with the help of a quick visit to the hardware store to get some plate holders and a bit of hammering, up they went...
I don't know how safe they are...but I hope they at least hold fast for a while...

and a unusual thrifty find of the most bizarre...
A felt covered deer...
I painted the antlers and back board white but might change it to a coloured back board if I can find some pretty paint...
I would have loved to show a better pic...but the lighting isn't very good...
He really is a treat...
I thought it might freak out Little Miss but she quiet likes him...
I think if it had a battery in it though she would have him thrown out quick smart...
She is having a bit of a problem with freaky battery operated toys that just seem to make a noise then they are not supposed to...
we have put quite a few in the thrifty bag to go to a "better" home...
which is all good as it does make the op shop ladies very happy...
and I like keeping them happy...
they are just treasures who not only stock the shelves with amazing finds...
but help out so many families who are finding it hard to manage in hard time...Bless them...

so for now I must dash...as I need to finish off a couple more Grandma Trees for my class...
regards my dear...

Nothing quite like a bit of flickr searching to do that...
Love turquoise...
I don't tend to decorate myself with it...
Pity really...
This images might change that...
