Stormy weather









 This is when my car was washed by the spray from the waves lashing the barrier...


And last but not least this is the update on my lovely Chardonnay...

This is what I will be working on today as I am refusing to leave the house...my dog is having a rest day...she is not happy about it, but tough!!! She'll live:)

    It looks lovely, Ylva. And Tara will live, and not be frightened of storms, which is a good thing. Scary out there driving this morning. Glad you made it in and back!!

    I have realised that the weather we had was not enough to shut the barriers...I am not sure I want to experience how bad it has to be do close them...i gave in and gave Tara a quick walk (10minutes) when the rain stopped, just walked down towards the beach below the house, but the closer I got the more it felt like I was being scrubbed...the wind brought water and sand and hit me in the face...I ended up hiding behind the house just by the water whilst playing with her for a few minutes (tug with the lead) before going back home...thank goodness for heating...lol

    It's scary to live on the coast. Any coast. Floods, storms, tsunamis, anything could happen. I said lots of prayers for you and yours that things went well and you didn't have any damage. Glad to see you made it through!! And yes, thank goodness for heating. And fires. That kind of weather is the perfect time for a cozy fire (if the wind isn't stalking down the flue and blowing the embers helter skelter.

Refreshing my blog (long time coming)...

Hi, I haven't posted here for a very long time. Towards the end of the last period of blogging I completely lost track of my craftiness and there was just too much going on in life. Now I am finally feeling like myself again, I have started a web shop on Etsy and have started selling my jewellery from a shop in town. I have not yet been brave enough to do a craft fair, but I have my eyes on one in October and then it is a matter of doing some Christmas fairs to get my name out there. Below you can see some of the things I have made, and I will be posting my finished items whatever they may be both on Instagram, Facebook and here, planning on going a bit more in depth here for whoever wants to know more:) So, here we go:) This was a commission, made up of peacock colour freshwater cultured pearl nuggets and silver-plated copper stardust beads and findings. It consists of a ring, ear studs, bracelet and necklace. The lady who ordered it absolutely loves it:) Below are so...

New Year, New Home, New Outlook!

Ok, so I have been very bad with writing on my blog...I am slightly ashamed... I do however have a reason for it...This last year went pear shaped, and I lost myself a bit. Firstly in March, my husband failed his final exam for the first time, causing a lot of stress and worry. Secondly, we lost our gorgeous baby girl Tara, our almost 12 year old GSD...she was in too much pain in her back and back legs, she was dragging her back feet as she had no strength to lift them to walk properly on her pads. This caused her to wear down her claws so much that she was bleeding on one occasion. After this occasion we made sure to walk her only on the side of the road so she could drag her feet on grass instead of asphalt. At the end of April 2014, we sent her across the Rainbow Bridge, to join her friend Darwin whom we lost in December 2012. After this awful event, things were quite tough at home, and as if that was not enough, my husband still had to study and practice for his final exam. He ha...

Slimming World update!

I AM SOOOOOOO HAPPY!!! I lost 6 1/2 pounds, which means I have reached my 1st stone milestone:) I am so surprised but happy...I have gained 1/2pound three weeks in a row because my period was 3weeks late. Now my period has come and gone, and it just shows how much my body is affected by the f***king period...  (and those stars are hiding REA and nothing else...lol) So, tonight it is Nando's dinner...chicken, coleslaw and ratatouille (or perhaps some lovely chips) to celebrate weightloss as well as payday...I do normally let myself enjoy a nice treat of some sorts after my weigh in...that way it is easier to stay on track the rest of the time...:) I am getting on with my Siamese cats, and am about halfway through with the white, and once that is done I am finished and can make them into a cushion cover:)
