Home is where my heart is

Hi Everyone,

I can't believe how cold it is here in the South West of England its bitter. I have been home for the past 2 days due to poorly eldest son with his Crohn's and he has a cold on top with no immune system its hard for him to fight anything off. But i am glad to be home in the warm i have  no reason to go out so i have been sat with my wool and hook snuggled up on the sofa with my blanket and willing my hands and elbows to stop hurting. In the past 2 weeks i have made 2 crochet cushions which i am so pleased with i keep looking at them and thinking i actually made those ;-) Its a nice feeling. This week Mr J finished papering the living room and i am so pleased with the finished result. The wall with my old dresser on seemed to be crying out for some of that art deco looking paper so over the past 2 nights he got busy and up it went ;-) Im going to attempt to do a mosaic with my photo's today and thought i would share with you my downstairs area and also include my crochet cushion i have made ;-)

OMG i did it and it only took me and 1 hour 20 mins ;-) For goodness sake, me and technology are slow. So as you can see first 10 are of my frontroom and some of the vintage things in it. The next 3 are of my kitchen come dinning area. And the last 2 are of my crochet cushions i did, i made that star into one and it turned out great and then made 4 large granny squares and sewed them  together to create another. And the last photo i have now decided to re do all my squares for my blanket and make them large i wasn't happy with them but now i have the crochet bug back to get on with it;-)  These photo's seem a little small i hope you are able to click on them and make them bigger?

The first 2 photo's are off my lovely vintage cabinet i payed £5.00 for it, it is in beautiful condition it will go in the summer house when its built its currently in the loft ;-) At the jumble sale the other week i bought the 3 little pictures for 50p they are all made out of old stamps i don't know how old they are but i love them. I found the 60's vintage duvet cover for £2.00 i already have the curtains i will be using these in the summer house to make cushions and a throw. And the last one is of my large granny squares for my blanket i only re started it yesterday.

I don't think these photo's are very clear so i will share the ladies here again,

There that  is better as i said there made out of old stamps i don't know how old they are but i love them.

Also i don't think the mosaic does my cushions justice either so here they are again to...

The star ;-) I backed it in the soft blue flannet that i made my sons dog at christmas.

I added 3 little vintage blue buttons from the 50's.

This is my large granny square ok its not perfect but for my second attempt i love it ;-)

Right i better go its taken me over 2 hours to write and do this post. We are going to decorate my hallway this weekend i can't wait i have waited 2 years i have new flooring so i can finely rip up the horrible carpet ;-) I will show you all next time I better get clearing everything out of there. I will leave you with a photo of something else im working on at the moment... 

A heart cushion made from all my vintage buttons i am stitching them onto cream calico then i will back it in pretty fabric.

Right now home is well and truely where my heart is ;-))

Have a lovely weekend everyone and thank you for all your lovely comments on my last post.

Take lots of care, dee xx
