christmas hearts

made some xmas hearts this week (nothing better to do!) while off sick.  this one is aluminium wire covered in fibres and ribbon, with felt flowers and buttons for good measure.  the other is one i cut out of bazil card stock, stuck on trimmings and inked the edges.  only need to make about 20 more and my tree will be done except that i have still not decided what the colour theme should be!
walked around Cath Kidston store in twells yesterday - just love everything in it - came out with nothing as i couldnt decide what to get.  then complete opposite - the White company - all silver glass and white baubles, and wrapping paper for £18.00.  my tree from last year is black, vic says not good idea to spray it another colour. oh what a dilemma - kept me awake half the night!!

our little village shop


this amazing little shop sells everything and is a post office too! plus booze and newspapers and chocolate banana's which vic buys me a couple of every time he has to visit the shop - we support our shop as much as possible 'use it or lose it'

















grangran and ivy catch me and franky up on the way home. she is now too tired to walk!

quote of the week

'Don’t destroy yourself by comparing yourself with others, set your mind on zero and do what your heart tells you to do.'
 
 
Amy reminded me about this quote yesterday - I couldnt remember it word for word so decided to put it on again.  need to keep reminding myself of this...
