Merry Christmas.

I cant believe that this time next week I will be with my family and enjoying Christmas near the Lake.,

I will be going to do some shopping once I get into the city, Glenn will be visiting mates and later eating out and looking at Christmas lights,.

Hoping it wont be to hot this year.

I still have things to do and things to make and I love every bit of it and I know i will be sad when its all over.It it such great fun making and doing Christmas, I have a million things that I want to make for my tree and my family and friends but always run out of time, this year with Glenn being in and out of hospital with his MS means a lot of things didn't get made,,, but there is always next year and I have been saying that for years.

 this is my tree this year and the walls have all been painted which means that the lounge room and kitchen are all fixed from the rain damage of 2 years ago,.Yes it took that long for the insurance to help, they would only do lounge and as you all know I did the kitchen.,

 Some of my little villages, one day I will get to add some more bits to them to make them prettier.

 some of my Angels, I have a lovely collection of Angels, One can never have too many Angels to watch over us,.

 snowmen and snowladies,  santas

 Christmas in the aussie bush.

 I have always loved snow people and hopefully one day I will get to make a real one at Christmas time, maybe New York City sounds good or really anywhere the snow is falling. Just one white Christmas before I head off to Heaven,.

Merry Christmas my sweeties. don't let the bed bugs bite and until next time see ya and love ya all,.,.,.Glenda   xoxoxoxoxoo

Remember my kitchen that I painted and fixed up after the rain damaged it,.over at  Whitney's  blog she is having another I made it without my hubby post. This is what I made without my hubby, My hubby is very handy with lots of different trades but he is the boss always with a big B which makes it not so comfy working together, so its sometimes easier to do it my way which means I have to do it myself,.And heaven help me if I need help, I wouldn't ask for any reason.  lol...
My kitchen is great I love it all. Still waiting on lino for floor but I got my new light up and connected.,

 Here is how my light started out.. I found it on the side of the road in a old wet box.Me being me I had to bring it home.It was ugly and it was brown and I just spent a week getting rid of all traces of brown from my kitchen so it was not going to be hanging in my pretty pink and blue kitchen.,.,

 I pulled it all apart very carefully,.,.

 Here it is looking very naked.

 I had to put all the pieces in 5 different bowls so none of the pieces got missed up.,,.

 Here is the finished light, all painted and primed and hanging gracefully in my beautiful kitchen,.,. I loveeeee it so much. The light man who came to put it in couldn't understand why I had such a light, ha but what would he know he doesn't cook!!!!

 I went to spotlight, big w and k mart to get all the  beads and gems to decorate it with.It took awhile to get it just right and then I had to glue everything in place, It seem to take ages but it was worth it,..,

 Isn't it pretty and it puts out heaps of light too.,I would never of thought about putting this kind of light in my kitchen but wow I am sooooooooo glad I did,.,.and all without my hubby yahhhhhhhhhhhhh such a clever little vegemite I am,..

Go take a look at all the other clever ladies on                   blog,.
Thanks for coming and hope you enjoy.,,.Love you all and don't let the bed bugs bite.. good night and come again soon,.,.love yas. Glenda   xoxoxoxoxooxo

New Kitchen.

this is my kitchen, always a bit messy but pretty lovely really, except for the colour. Since having all the rain from our leaky roof our kitchen turned from a beautiful kitchen into a wreck, 1 cupboard  fell off the wall from the wet so I decided to fix it up and give it a coat of paint.,

Now since I was able to paint it I did it in the colours I like. pink, blue, and white.

I wanted a farmhouse look, you now like the paint is coming off and years old.

My hubby was not impressed by my design and colour choice but hay its my kitchen and I am the one who cooks, cleans in it so it up to me.,lol

This photo below is what it looked like before I started, and I hate the colour brown.

Brown,brown and more brown, yes there are lovely cupboards but yuk;

 Here is the start of the colour, pink, blue and white.

 Next was the walls and window sills.

 this is a really damaged wall where a cupboard use to be until it got so rotten with water that it fell of the wall leaving holes everywhere,. Also done my arm in with wire, blood everywhere.

 With pink walls now.

 opposite side of kitchen.

 This is my table and chairs, it too was brown and I Remember paying alot of money for it. Now I love it and is worth million $ to me.I also will be recovering the seats of the chairs in a crazy patchwork of pretty fabrics in the colours of what else but pink, blue and white,.

 I had so many chairs and none to match so I ended up with two different ones but I still think its ok.
My hubby is still in shock and our friend ask me when was I going to put the top coat on.Another said it looked 100 years old and when I  said it took alot to get it that way the look on there face was priceless.,lol

Hope you like my kitchen, me I LOVE it, next week we will go buy the floor covering so I am hoping to be able to match it all together and I am changing the light for one I am making which will post  as soon as its finished.I have really enjoyed doing my kitchen and reading all the blogs about Shabby Chic have given me so   much to work with.My bedroom is next.,lol
 Thanks for coming and good night don't let the bed bugs bites,. Until next time sweet dreams and good night love ya all Glenda xoxoxoxo
