Bee happy ..... visit Harrogate

I went to the Knit and Stitch show at Harrogate this weekend with my lovely neighbour.

 

 

There were some gorgeous pieces of work on display.

 

This hook work was carried out by Hooked by Design there were some wonderful pieces here.

 

I especially loved this piece with the bees on :)

 

I bought some fabric from this stall, the french style and patterned which you will see later.

 

 

Great ideas for makes using the fabrics they stock.

 

Bought some pale pink velvet, hearts and small floral fabric from The Shuttle. The lady and gent here on this stand were so kind and had such a large range of gorgeous fabrics with them.

 

My buys, bundles of faded florals, red linen, grey and blue lace, paints for my screen printing in gorgeous pastel colours, I also got some sparkly buttons, wool and a heart trug.

 

Very pleased with my buys, just have to start creating now :)

Bee happy ..... paint!

I have been a busy bee this week, preparing and painting the walls of Mr Happy's office, which is bedroom four. 

His desk is wedged in on the landing upstairs which we have to squeeze past every time we need the loo and to go to bed!! Got to finish this room soon! lol

These are before pictures and a lot of paint and hard work has gone in since these were taken at the beginning of the week. 

If you are wondering what the bits and pieces are in the corner, well these are Mr Happy's work phone and router to we can get on line, they had to stay, but managing to paint around them :)

I am painting the wood work today.

I am painting the lovely floor boards tomorrow with white floor paint, I know some of you have wondered about painted floor boards, well you'll soon know the result!!

Hope you are all having a great week.

Bee happy .... paint something

I was fed up with an old shabby trunk looking messy in the hallway so I decided to paint it using tester pots of paint.

The green I had was too dark so I added a pale grey and mixed them all together and ended up with this lovely, much softer green.

I have added some miniature daffodils which I had to cut.  They were growing too fast in their plant pot in the living room, because of the heat I think, and had flopped over with no hope of ever standing straight again.  At least they look good now on my freshly painted trunk.
