I think the I've had the 'Changing Bug' this week...I pulled out the whole of my Toy Corner and changed it round!
This is what it was like before...
And this is it now...I moved the Wall Cubby from behind the living room door (the screws were rounded off, so I just yanked it, leaving 2 big holes! Terry will be so pleased when he comes home tomorrow! I'm putting the Shelf that was over in Toy Corner behind the door, so all is not lost!) The little Cupboard was one I had in my shop...I could have sold it 50 times over! The door closes and has chicken wire on it...
I moved my Arts & Crafts High Chair over to the table...only Dollies, no babies!! I put some old toys underneath it as well...the Dolls were made by
Maggie of Saltbox Primitives in Ireland...I love her work!
This is a close~up of the Dolls. The stitching on her apron is lovely. I'll take another picture and post it...
I've just taken the close~up of big Dollie's lovely Apron...
I had put my Shaker Rocking Chair behind the door, so I moved it and grouped my black Bears on it. The biggest one was made by
Jane at Gingerbread Cottage...
She's renowned for her Halloween Witchy Washing Lines...
I moved my Dolls around...the one on the left was made by
Kerrie Moody of Simple Pleasures of Maine...
I have got loads made by Kerrie, I love her work! The Lincoln Pillow came from my lovely friend in the USA, Elaine. She sells on e-bay and is called
Catspaw Primitives...her e-bay ID is 6stringbluesman (I think she stole the site from her hubby, who is into Blues music!) Check her out, you'll be amazed at what she does with an old Tin or Dough Bowl..!! I love everything Elaine does, but can't actually pick a favourite piece! I've got a lot of Firkins that Elaine's painted...Christmas Tins are close to the top of my list...hmmmm, it's hard to decide!! I'll take some pictures and post them over the weekend...
These 3 are by Kerrie too...I love them!
One of Kerrie's Penny Runners...I've got 9 now, plus one on the way!
The red one was made by
Maria Broadhead of the Cinnamon Shack...
I've got a few of her things too, another very talented lady!
The new Table and Chairs have made such a difference, it made me want to sort out Toy Corner! I haven't put anything away (I hate leaving things in cupboards!) but it seems a bit less cluttered now...I think!!
I've been faffing about this week, so haven't got my washing and ironing done! I'll have to do it tonight, as Terry's back home from France tomorrow! It's our wedding anniversary today...we've been together 15 years, but only got married 5 years ago! This is us on our Wedding Day...ahhhh, bless!
(5 years younger and a few pounds lighter LOL!!)
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, TERRY!
LOVE YOU LOADS xxx
Ok, off to do some chores now! I'll try and post the pictures I mentioned over the weekend...
Take care and see you soon!
Love Karen xx
