<b> Hello!</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>My home at the end of the runway was recently used as a location for a photo shoot. The pictures will appear in a two brand new magazines, Crochet Now and Patchwork Now.</b><br />
<b>These are new additions to Sewing Now.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>I thought I would take the 'tidy house' opportunity and share a few sunny shots.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>You may notice a couple of photo bombers and I felt it only fair if I gave the cheeky pair a close-up too.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>It is quite obvious that they both love a photo shoot!</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>It has all been a bit hectic round here. Mr Betty has departed on his charity run to The Gambia</b></div>

<b>(all is going well apart from 27 hours of seasickness).</b></div>

<b>I am missing him lots but have been kept busy with room changes.</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>There is a new, rather large addition to the kitchen which I will blog about, and the boys have been swapping rooms.</b></div>

<b>Littlest and Middle came to an agreement involving something Xbox related and have now exchanged bedrooms.</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>The small room has had a complete overhaul.</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Newly plastered and painted walls, new fancy flooring in a white board effect and a good old sort out.</b></div>

<b> Firstly, let me tell you what my take on Interior Design is, without using Wikipedia, and don't forget I have no experience and no training. This may soon become obvious ;-)</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>In my mind it is all rather simple.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b> Do what the client wants, make their ideas look ace and design the room and its furniture to suit the way they live/use the room. That is basically what I did.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Ricardo wanted a new minimalist look. He did NOT want the hidden storage. We removed the double wardrobes, a massive job might I add. It certainly looked hard work from where I was sitting (with my cappuccino).</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>I knew that he wanted a grown up desk area and I knew from the start that this would be the perfect space for it. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>The desk would double up as a relaxed eating area because obviously, his table and chairs were now gone (god knows where?).</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b> I added vintage school stools, that stacked, and could easily be placed around the table for an impromptu gathering. Ricardo looked like an impromptu gathering kinda guy.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>I absolutely have to point out that Sophie Robinson mentioned Ricardo had nowhere to place his unsightly bills and paper work, Uh, 2 filing cabinets right there!!</b></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>I added some wooden shutters to the window.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>This was high on Ricardos wish list.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>The sofa (we will hit on that elephant in a mo), is a sofa bed, guests would sleep in this room so he wanted the ability to black out the window. I think the shutters were fab and I know Ricardo was delighted.</b></div>

<b>I was really keen to add an industrial style light.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>I made this using a very basic and low cost mechanics inspection lamp, and added an up to date wire shade. I spray painted the lamp to a dark green shade to tie it in with the other lights.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>I am going to make one of these for my house.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<b>My up cycling appears a little, shall we say half hearted….it probably was, BUT, in my defence with the whole creative thing, I had very little scope to be as creative as I would have wished.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Ricardo wanted very little colour, no pattern and definitely no florals. I was itching to get a stitchin but it forced me out of my comfort zone and I loved that about it.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>The TV stand worked brilliantly for all its simplicity and it looked pretty good. Luckily the judges agreed.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>From a functional point of view, Ricardo had the problem of lifting his TV out of the way every time he opened up the sofa bed. His new fancy pants, moveable media unit (its getting serious) was the perfect solution.

<b>Hello!</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>I have been busy over the last couple of weeks trying to decide on what to do next on a creative level.</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Maybe wanting a change, and to get away from woodland creatures - not literally!</b></div>

<b>If you have followed my blog for a while you will know that I love peg dolls, always have.</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>My little peg doll kits are always a hit at the fairs and they make great gifts for teachers and friends so I decided to extend them into a little Spring/Summer range</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>I have recently been slightly more involved in Pinterest, using it for boys bedroom ideas and inspiration and I just love all the peg doll creations, some painted to look like a family, some the characters in Star Wars and some just very simple….a bit like mine.</b></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>The results are just brilliant.</b></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Jayne has such great style, I couldn't wait to get round there with my camera.</b></div>

<b>Not a difficult place to photograph as you will see.</b></div>

we get quite a lot of worn out blankets at 'my charity shop'</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
quite often they go into the dog blanket department, quite often they get ragged</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I suddenly decided yesterday that I would quite fancy using some of the old pure wool blankets to make cushions</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I cut away the good bits (for me) and put the rest straight into a basket for the dogs</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I made a donation of course!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
BUT</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

now this pic will have you thinking that I am announcing some sort of weight loss programme but this is not true </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am merely aiming for a healthy start to the day</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
if I even think about full time healthy eating I have to eat a Mars Bar to stop the dizziness</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
at present I am a bit of a skip breakfast sort of a gal</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="text-align: center;"> Hello!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The last few days have been just a little hectic.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have had a trip to Harrrogate, a Secret Tea Party, A Lo-Fi Christmas Party, a trip to the Manchester Christmas Markets but more than anything I have been working with Maurice, out on the drive.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Maurice has been a bit redundant since the weather turned chilly.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was finding it hard to look at him through the window…all neglected and lonesome.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but then an idea sprang to mind, a most brill idea.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Could Maurice become a little mobile shop for an upcoming special event?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Could that event be the Vintage Village Christmas Market weekend spectacular?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After a chat and a coffee with Mrs Vintage Village maurice and I were in. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have not been so excited about anything in quite a while!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Maurice would get a new special Christmas coat</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Maurice would spill vintage treasure from his door, suitcases, mirrors, toys….</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Inside he would become a sleek, retro inspired gift shop.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He would sell the best <a href="http://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/164933954/love-poster-happy-couple-retro-a3-print">PRINTS</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
His little sliding doors would be slid right back to reveal pretty pottery and retro plastics.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Now let me tell you something in a bossy fashion if I may (I'm going to anyway).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have kept a lot of treasure in my secret treasure chest, out of sight of my camera.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The pictures you see above are a mere taster of what is to come, mere snippets of how Maurice will look on the day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will be at Vintage Village, with Maurice on Friday, Saturday and of course, the biggie, Sunday</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You absolutely must come and visit us.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are all the details for <a href="http://www.vintagevillagestockportmarket.co.uk/events/the-vintage-village-merry-little-christmas-fair">The Vintage Village Merry Little Christmas Fair</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is not to be missed!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Come and say hi, there will be a spare seat in Maurice if you need to rest those weary shopping feet.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

slightly simplified ingredients</div>

two different facial expressions, one rather like mine when I realised 2 of my boys would be at home today ;-)</div>

<b>be prepared for a rather sorry story if you will</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>this all goes back a while, actually to the night before we went on our family holiday</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>everyone was rather excited, there was a lot of frolicking, and then 'it' happened</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b> next thing I know Mr Betty is looking down upon a badly damaged rod, I knew then that things would never be the same in our bedroom</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>it took 3 months</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>a trip to Macclesfield</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>much discussion over a possible size reduction</b></div>

<b>I'm getting that feeling.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>I have started to think seriously about Christmas (but not that seriously).</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>I have purchased a few gifts and dreamed about the tree I will be buying this year.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>I have even kind of worked out where said tree will stand, always a bit tricky in a slightly cluttered house ;-)</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Yesterday at the charity shop I stumbled upon a very old suitcase, and when I opened her up I discovered she contained the most perfect selection of old deco's.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>This find is the kind of thing that my dreams are made of, old suitcase included.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>I selected a few bits that made my heart tinkle and left a few bits for others.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>I thought I would share so that you, if not 'feeling the feeling' thus far, may be flung straight into Christmas thoughts of the best kind.</b></div>

Scary times.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My eldest son turns 18 today.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am not what one would describe as 'a gusher' but I just have to say a few things on this monumental day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These are the things that stand out about my eldest boy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlUcLcJE6uliMZP14rCnxrtOoaLvlKXKa-gBXLy4tZ3mPPBoRxMEPgCOhJV09-xkFXFHFAjx959CciU9zvNcBJFZZUzlVzOlst8LQk92vBCvs04mtl0ffy6g0oTkunLuAWhNe6QOzyze0/s1600/IMG_4636.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlUcLcJE6uliMZP14rCnxrtOoaLvlKXKa-gBXLy4tZ3mPPBoRxMEPgCOhJV09-xkFXFHFAjx959CciU9zvNcBJFZZUzlVzOlst8LQk92vBCvs04mtl0ffy6g0oTkunLuAWhNe6QOzyze0/s320/IMG_4636.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Jack has been a dream child and I don't say that lightly.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yes, he is a bit cheeky, mostly silly, but we seem to have completely bypassed any horrible teenager years.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He was my only baby that could be plonked in his cot at 7 and left to doze off.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He carried a football under each arm from the moment he could walk. he walked at 10 months.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Jack still has the same friends that he has had since being a toddler even though they went their seperate ways for secondary school. He is a very loyal friend.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Jack has been dating Plum for over 2 years now. They had been good friends since very young and they are one of the best couples I know....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Jack is studying for his A-Levels at the moment, I am very proud.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He also has a part time job and never asks me for any money (thank goodness as I rarely have any)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Jack was once signed for MUFC, he is a life long Manchester City fan so it was difficult for him.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He was and is an amazing footballer.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Jack used to wear his hair very long. He has thick, thick curls.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When he decided to go short the hairdresser got through 3 combs during the procedure.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If it wasn't for Jacks help with his youngest brother, Mr Betty and I would have found life very hard.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mikey has been a very bad sleeper due to health problems and Jack has settled him, slept with him and helped him in the night on numerous occasions enabling us to get many good nights of sleep.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Jack makes us all laugh every day, His sense of humour is beyond stupid but he is the funniest person I know and I know for a fact that Mr Betty feels exactly the same.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He can have his little brother in tears of laughter. This happens a lot.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Jack reminds me of my Dad.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He is obsessed with fashion and is always perfectly turned out.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He likes to wear his polo shirt buttoned to the neck.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He is fastidious about cleanliness. He showers often and they last a ridiculous amount of time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Jack loves music. Most of his nights out are to gigs. He loves the same music as I did as a teenager.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He loves Manchester.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Although he is well travelled he has already decided that Manchester is the place for him.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He gets on the train 'to town' often.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Jack has had a MCFC season ticket for 12 years and has rarely missed a match...home or away.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="font-size: medium;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: medium;">
Tonight is going to be family affair.</div>
<div style="font-size: medium;">
Takeout (Chinese, his favourite)</div>
<div style="font-size: medium;">
Mum has baked his fave Choc Fudge cake.</div>
<div style="font-size: medium;">
Later we will be taking him to the pub where we will meet up with his Dad.</div>
<div style="font-size: medium;">
His Dad will be buying him his first pint.</div>
<div style="font-size: medium;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: medium;">
There is lots more I could say. </div>
<div style="font-size: medium;">
Happy Birthday Jack!! </div>

I was asking....I still am asking, for handcrafted toys for nursery children in The Gambia</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
today was most exciting as the first bundle arrived, all the way from Belfast</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am more than a bit tempted to keep them, but I won't</div>
