Colin has been out in the car

He hid in Grandmas bag and then he hid in the car. What is he up to?

Where's Colin today ?

He's in grandmas bag - he must be going to work with her?

Those were for our selfies Colin !

Cheeky Colin 

Where's grandma's scarf?

Colin was worried the snowman would get cold when he went outside

I've been singing jingle bells

M for .............

Time for a midnight feast

Eating candy off the tree 

Look at me!

Look at me I'm up the tree again !

Colin has found the Christmas Book.

Grandy used to read this to Millie's mummy

In grandmas jewellery box!

Perhaps he thinks the beads should be on the Christmas Tree

9 days to go -yipeee

Colin has found the rocking horse that grandma has in her window. He has been rocking on it and it is now on the coffee table. I think he thinks he is woody 

So you like bananas?

Will grandy notice?

Only 11 more sleeps to go

Loved your Christmas songs Millie !

Christmas will soon be here!

Do you want to build a snowman?

That's a funny snowman Colin 

Time for some elf milk

Better get on writing my cards

I'm sending a card to Santa to tell him how good you are being. Well done Millie!

I'm really loving your Christmas Tree Millie !

I'm glad I've got you as my family!

look who I found 

I miss the snow in the northpole

Haha this will have to do ! Do you like my snow angel ?

Well Colin has been a cheeky monkey! First the lamp ....

Now he is in the kitchen cupboard looking to find biscuits !

Day two - What has Colin been up to?

Colin has been busy . This is magic to show us that he

 would like us to put up the tree I think!

That lady in the bauble looks familiar . 
Where is Colin?
You had better ask Grandad to look for him tonight. 

Colin has already made himself at home!

Colin is looking out of the window. We haven't got our tree up yet but some of our neighbours homes have. We did get a card from Millie. Her tree is fabulous! Colin hasn't moved since we brought him home. The parcel he was bringing on his sleigh has found it's way to Millie x

Look what we found in the woods today!

                                  Grandad off his walk 

Who is in the tree?

Grandad was surprised to find an elf 

The story is in the making

The magic is beginning !

Christmas Crafting !

Would like to have started earlier as I had several ideas. Hoping to decorate the main tree in the foyer at work in the shabby chic style. I plan to have lots of beads, bling and vintage items.
I purchased some paper cache bird houses and have made some fabric hearts from my stash.
These have been more fiddle and time consuming than I thought but I have made a start .

Hopefully my toothache will do one and the root canal work will render me bright eyed and bushy tailed ! Not my best week.

Have to finalise plans for the elf on the shelf tomorrow  so should be kept busy.

Thinking Christmas - Elf on the shelf for Millie gnome in the home for me

What's on my needles?

Not much happening on the craft front at the moment . New babies to knit for but so time poor. Too much time spent on Pinterest! Have started a board for Christmas and one for knitting projects. I have a blanket on my needles and hope that something that doesn't take too much thought will get finished.

Weird moi?

Have I got news for you featured a piece about the new labour leader ... apparently weird because he takes pics of manhole covers? So do !

 

Thinking Christmas lots to do !

Time to think about presents that need to be bought and the Christmas Fayre at work. Hoping to make  some shabby chic decorations as part of the theme for the four at work. We try to ring the changes each year.

 

 

Family

Sunday for most of us is an opportunity to spend time with family. I always think  about what everyone is doing on a Sunday as we are all scattered about the place and have precious little time together. Feeling very sorry for myself today must break open a Toblerone.

All of us together for Mr Forever's 60th 

Our Grandaughter

I have returned!

When I created the blog I intended to post regularly. I have to admit that that working full time has meant that that I have had no time for crafting and painting which was what this blog space was meant to show case.
Well I am determined to make time and thought that rather than wait for the New Year I would start now!  

Today is my youngest daughter's Birthday - she's gorgeous!
