washing machine and elf kitchen

well today i got my order from elf, well yesterday but opened it properly today and this melie washing machine was a bargin. 5.00 in the sale from 9.00 well chuffed. here it is : this is a video so you can here the noises. also included in the order was my kitchen well half of it until i can afford the rest lol x the red film is what colour my kitchen is going to be, and the granite type one is the work surfaces. this has cheered me up as i was quite anoyed yesterday to say the least. after a top weekend in newcastle.. just stupid pathetic little girls trying to ruin peoples lives, spreading crap around, and twisitng everything making out shes the inocent one when shes not.. lets just say ive seen her ways in a new light now, and am glad shes not in my 2011. well she is but not properly. lol.. anyway after having a chat with my chuckle sister, from the forum (funkymonkey) im feeling a lot better, missed talking to the forum people and with shellby, sometimes forum members/friends are better friends that my real life friends haha.

princess bedroom update

well here it is, its not 100% finished as the chimney breast needs doing and the door and celing up its mostley furnishings that need doing now :) the little girls with their ballet shoes, are stickers from hobbycraft as is the border ribbon. and the ballet shoes is an iron on for things like jeans, which is too from hobbycraft.

essay accomplished, let mini-ing begin

well i can now say ive finally finished my essay at last, just a final read through to do before its printed. Yipeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! lol. so next on the list to do is to sort that girls bedroom out....ive decided to go back to scratch and removed the card from the wall and sand it down, then paint it pink again to see if it takes, lets hope so.. although ive had another idea, not sure what it will look like but it maybe worth a try. I thought about perhaps hanging a sort of opaque see through material in the alcovey (if thats a word lol~) bit...hmmm just thought that its different...

well as yet i have to do any mini-ing at all today :( part of it has something to do with the fact that ive got an essay due in for uni next week, and i really want to get it done, even more so as its my brothers 21st this week and hes having a party on sat. he thinks its going to be a big one, mother thinks otherwise ha.
hopefully if i manage to get most of my work done and my bedroom tidied, as its a tip then some mini-ing may happen. if thats the case my goal is to get that stupid back wall done in the girls bedroom before i go mad... then its on to making the new bathroom walls. :)

and yet again its snowing again in bradford, wish it would just piss off to be fair, i hate it, its nice tho when you dont have to go out in it, but ive got to go to hull next weekend, and the guinea piggies are outside hmph lol.

ok well havnt got anything really to share today, its my brothers 21st so ive been getting ready for tonite as where going out for a meal, and been picked up by a bnw limo, not that he knows it yet lol. but id just though id share a few pics of my house so far, theres a pic from each room, except from the bathroom as the walls have been knocked down as theyve been repainted and instead of the triangle shaped walls they are now rectangle to match the nursery as this is now a new level. the house itself is still in two halfs whcih u may notice in the pic of the stairs, its just easier to finish the stairs and other bits like lighting whilst its still in to rather than a whole house if you get me.

girls princess bedrrom

ok, this room still needs finishing. ive had a major problem with that back wall and its driving me insane, for some reason the paint wouldnt take to the walls, i think because the paint had a little natural gloss on it, that might have something to do with it, so i tried card and as you can see that didnt work it just ripped when the lights fell off. so my plan is to strip back this wall and sand it down and start again, see if that helps.

Theres also going to be a chimney breast on that wall to co-ordinate with the downstairs and with the nursery. the celing, skirting and coving need to be done. but you get the picture.

i mainly took these pics for progress really and to see how my new handmade bedding looks with the rest of the room, and i must say im quite impressed on how it goes, looks great. this bedroom is going to be a really girly room, the girls love anything pink or purple and love to watch and perform ballet. true girls at heart..

bunk bed bedding

 right, so here is the bedding i made for my girls bedroom. these girls are mad on pink and purple, ballet and disney princessess. :)

The new winnie the pooh nursery.

Well this is the new winnie the pooh bear nursery. it needs finishing and needs another coat of paint on the floor. This floor is made from the lollypop sticks technique that i picked up, from the forum :) the chimney breast still needs doing and the skirting board, coving, and the celing. also you can see a bit of a gap, this was where the stairs was origionally, so it just needs filling and flooring put down.

the muckey mark on the wall is glue, but a window is going to be put there so its all good, also where all the butterflies are, thats going to be removed as the chimney breast is going theres, so theres going to be a chinmey breast full of butterflies on there at some point

the rugs just there as a filler, its going to be a winnnie the pooh rug eventually.

nursery cot bedding

 the nursery is going to be pink but most of its accessories are based around winnie the pooh so i thought this was great... my first peice of bedding ive made, just need to finish the bumper and the sheet but am happy with it. one thing i always do is put myself down, so one of my new years resolutions is not to do that, thanks to the forum members for their lovely comments, and christine for telling me not to put myself down lol...

howdy!

well think its about time i update this blog, havnt done so in such a long time lol... just never seam to find the time to do it.. Anyway not a lot has really happened since the last time i updated, ive made a few bedding sets-pics to follow.. oh ive moved the nursery and built another one on the third floor and im just in the middle of decorating it, ive done the flooring-pics to follow, and ive also been busy doing the front door to the cottage after much decision on what colour to do it.. the girls bedroom is also almost done!.

no time for messing around

well today got off to a bad start, benjamin the guinea pig decided to attack me and scratched my face to death, so then i looked like id been dragged in a bush backwards lol.. then i went shopping with my mum, auntie, and two cousins celine and ellen, and my god have they grown up, celines 14 and now pays for things herself, by herself and asked me to come to the cashpoint with her, so grown up where does the time go, they both make me feel old and im only 22 lol.. so after a great day shopping, we came home, where they met my 5 terrors (guinea pigs) they had a cuddle withn pocket. i dont know who loved the cuddle more them or pocket bless them. now after a tired but good day im going to settle down and watch x factor and do some mini-ing.. finishing the new nursery and the exterior of the part of the house that has finished been built.

extensions part 2

dining room update

the table is set out for xmas, including the xmas buiscuts in the middle, the plates are the DHE collectors plates

another living room update

this is the living room so far. partly decorated for xmas and light/fan in place, just needs the celing doing now and a door making, then the skirting to be done

cuboard under the stairs-update

ok so it didnt work out quite to plan, struggling with the door lol. so am just gonna put pannelling, to cover the space under the stairs, and a porch area leading from the front door to the hallway, where the pram can go maybe, quite a big porch mind but im hoping it will work out, just depends as my main front door is quite big

cuboard under the stairs- and no its not in the dursleys house from harry potter, lol. although a good idea for my hogwarts project

well today im doing my cuboard under the stairs finally after months of saying it, dont quite know how i am going to do it yet, but we will see, my style is usually to just get on with it and see what it looks like, which sometimes can end up a shambles lol..this cuboard will be used for things like mop buckets, and other house hold things and the xmas decoration cuboard maybe, but we will see once is done.. maybe if the cuboard doesnt work out the pram and car seat may just be put under the stairs..

nursery/playroom

well you all know me by now, i change my mind like theres no tmorow lol.. anyway as you know ive decided to extend my house now named apple tree cottage. so ive decided to move my nursery. so the room that was the nursery is now a playroom and the room that was the origional playroom is now the nursery, lol if that makes sense, overall im happier with it like this.

its begining to look a lot like christmas!!

living room with the new fire place and garland.
a real coal fire will hopefully be fitted in when i have found a nice one i like.
this is one of my fav rooms the stripes on the wall make it look a little bigger and really modern. something i learnt from watching 60minutre makeover lol.

the new dining room table complete with a christmas table cloth and gold fancy table runner. the fireplace will eventually be sanded down so the look will be like the table and the dresser. just need the christmas feast now in time for christmas day.
