Life Lately


Like many others, I've had a rather hectic few weeks and Bea and I are fair exhausted! Here are a few snaps of life in my world lately.

Walks with Bea always take priority, so we've been to visit Thomas the swan...


And took time to notice the small things...


I tried a Graze box and was really impressed! The entire service is friendly and well organised, and I've tried some yummy new foods in an attempt to boost my energy levels and stay well through the winter months...


...Erm, except then I remembered I hadn't had a mince pie in two years, so I made a little exception. (What? It has fruit in it!)


My legs turned yellow! I've been loving coloured tights with warn knits lately.


I've been very busy making custom button orders, special buttons for friends, and new designs ready for a new year. Very excited.







I've also been making Christmas presents (can't show you yet!) but have found a little time for some other quick projects too. A tree decoration for Beatrix...


And this... thing...


I got Trevor the horse ready for Christmas in my other job...



I found these flashbacks in a charity shop...




And THIS turned up in my life! Isn't it beautiful?! It's huge!



I'm very much looking forward to finishing work for Christmas and curling up with this...


And this...



Are you ready for Christmas yet?

  1. Puddle Lane! I haven't seen those books in so long. There was a TV show too wasn't there...? *spends rest of day in fuzzy nostalgic haze*

    Loving the little festive Bea decoration too x

    1. I vaguely remember there being a Puddle Lane TV show but don't think I watched it. I liked the PL books about cats, especially when one - Tim I think - turned green! x

  4. Those toadstools/mushrooms are beautiful, the tea tin looks awesome, and I had completely forgotten about Puddle Lane until spotting those books! Good times... :)

    I'm feeling pretty relaxed this Christmas as we aren't hosting and I somehow managed to do my shopping in November(!) So I'm mostly eating mince pies and drinking mulled wine (which also has fruit in it, by the way :p)

    Wishing you a very merry Christmas. xx

    1. Ooh I've not had a mulled wine yet! Must have one for the vitamin C ;)

      You know, I've normally got Christmas all wrapped up well before now but think this rush is worth it as I'm giving small, handmade gifts rather than buying this year... then it SHOULD be a nice quiet one.

      A very Merry Christmas to you too - enjoy the time off :)

  6. You make your own buttons! That is so marvellous - what a skill. Sorry that I have not commented for a while but I have been reading. I shall keep a look out for BP things if are still collecting
    Best wishes and all the best for the festive season
