Milann's life keeps getting in the way.......

Got to admit twas a rather nice tea. I bought a full salmon and portioned and froze it just before Christmas. It worked out about 70p a portion if I remember rightly 😁 Just finishing off with a kitkat and cuppa. Dh is watching a railway programme so I’m going back upstairs to sort a bit more and will find something a little more entertaining whilst I’m up there 😂😂😂

So do you make items for inside OBL?

I don't make furniture but I do buy furniture that needs painting. I have also made the duvet a knitted cushion a throw and a blind plus the curtain  pole for the main bedroom,I will have to post a photo of the inside at some point ,it's not finished but it's getting there. I haven't touched it for ages so really should make more effort, I've saved some toothpaste tube lids to try to make light shades as they are the ideal size,I just need to make them now 😊

Milann drove past your canal walk today and thought of you at Greggs ! 

OBL your dolls house is lovely , Milann you need to build yours it would be a great thing to do . If either of you are ever up in Yorkshire Newby Hall near Ripon has a fantastic collection of dolls houses about 60 I seem to remember they were amazing. 

This sounds right up my street,I love anything miniature 😊

Here's mine 😀

Oh that is beautiful. I love dolls' houses. I never had one. They used to have a marvellous collection in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. Don't know if there still on display since it was refurbished. It's just one of these things that inspires children's imaginations.

I've always love them and did have one as a child, I told my DD that I had always wanted one as an adult so she bought me this for Christmas one year, I felt like a kid on Christmas morning 😀of course I had to build it but that was half the fun 😊

Lol I know it’s a totally different league OBL but the little toy doll’s house I’ve just been gifted for the gks has wooden furniture and I plan to paint the furniture and make bedding for the house. It’s on my list ‘to do’......which is growing by the minute 😉 I’m going to be gutted if I don’t get this retirement. 
Ive done a little more sorting and phoned my friend to see if she wanted any tops which are of no use to me. She has been and collected them and taken a few other bits too so it’s already looking better upstairs......still got a way to go but by next week I should have it tidy again😁  Next I need the plasterer to shape himself and plaster the ceiling of the bay window and get my painter friend back, it will only need painting. We will sleep in the back bedroom whilst it’s done....at least I’ll have sorted the cupboard  spaces in our room too . Finally feel as if I’m getting there. The end is in sight.

The dolls house is fantastic. What a lovely hobby. 

Glad everything is coming together. It will be worth it in the end.

You should put a photo up of the dolls house, I love any dolls house even the kids ones 😀

Enjoy your weekend.

Hooray I have sorted most of my bedroom today with a bit of help from dh. Still need to go through his wardrobe. It looks so big after having had various things stored in it since we started the building work in September but it was completely chocca with stuff  this last couple of weeks whilst we’ve been doing the spare bedrooms. Literally a path to the bed 😂😂😂 The front bedroom just needs the curtains putting up and a mirror frame painting....oh and bunting making. Dh needs to put the old tv on the wall in the back bedroom and an old table needs taking downstairs to be painted in outside paint on which my mini greenhouse will stand on it eventually 😀

Well done on sorting out the bedroom 👏. It's lovely to get organised.

Your new mini greenhouse sounds good. I've often fancied having an orange tree or olive tree, but they wouldn't survive outdoors. What will you grow in your greenhouse?
