1. Building this today with Yoyo. It is supposed to be an Advent Calendar........perhaps we were supposed to make one house a day. But we are both impulsive and did the whole lot at once. We like to break the rules around here. There was much discussion over our favourite house - mine is the cake shop shown above.
2. I have finally painted the Barley Twist table I got free from the local tip. Two undercoats of satinwood - still needs a top coat, but I'm too impatient to wait. In situ next to the fireplace it goes. A mental tick off the endless to do list.
I love being married to an engineer - they have this inbuilt need to fix things and problem solve.
I would love the cake shop too! Your house looks so beautiful can I just come and sit for a while?

Natasha of course you may!
ReplyDeleteAlthough in reality (as you probably well know) it doesn't look like this at all. There was a sea of lego that I swept out of the way first before taking this pic.
Hi Anna..
ReplyDeleteI love the advent 'model'.. gorgeous. Maybe the idea is to put a tiny treat in each house and open one each day ??
The table looks wonderful.. and all the better for being free. I so miss 'satinwood', they don't really have a paint that's anything like it here. Oh and I love that tan club chair.
As far as No3 goes you're just a rotten tease, and that's all I'm going to say !!

Good job you didn't marry a chemist whose MO is never finishing anything. Our hall and staircase? Still in process 12 months on!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I can imagine little snowflakes falling on the advent model :)
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful as always. Where is the little town from?
