I love nothing better than a craft/thrifting book to help with ideas and inspirations and lately I have been very lucky to receive three such books,
 |
| book number one |
 |
| book number two |
 |
| book number three There is nothing more enjoyable than leafing through and reading all of the above, so many ideas, where does one start! I started with bringing a wall shelf unit downstairs, putting it on top of another storage unit to give a dresser effect, and now I have somewhere to display pieces of family china, photos, cards etc. I will be painting it cream, and plan to change displays with the Seasons. I have somewhere to hang little hearts in the shed |

| my favourite pinks and greens! I have been sorting out the dining area, and along with the wall unit, I have made a garland in blues and greens to go with the china, shells and sea glass. I tried to aim for a watery effect. |
These are now hanging in the dining area.
I was so happy to be given these two beautiful cross stitch cushions, when we go camping they will be coming in the van with us.

A lovely surprise was a sign to put up on the shed, complete with wording
Thank you for all these goodies. I am very lucky indeed!
The weather has got slightly warmer, so I might potter about and put a few winter pansies and evergreens outside the shed.
I found some fabric bought last year, perfect for another quilt I think. I quite fancy having a go at sort of an eiderdown effect.
Hope January has you inspired to create, and make.
I am now going to catch up on reading the blogs over at Handmade Monday where there are always lots of gorgeous creations! so why don't you join me.
