Candlelight and new obsession.......steady x



I love these dark night drawing in, snuggling up with tea or a hot chocolate.
I feel a little sad, that we still don't have a REAL fire in the cottage. I can't boast to you all about how we snuggle and warm up our toes in front of the fire, ( we will have to line our chimney, and I'm think a cream wood burner would do me just fine, one thing at a time ) but for now...............

Candles will just have to do.



Ready for my latest OBSESSION??????? Perhaps, no, probably ,  I am years behind you all with these things, but one lady has come to my attention for her wonderful, whimsical, clever little creations. And all I can do is "ooooh" and "aaaaah" and want, and need, and long for every single thing she has made....ever, and for perhaps just half her brain, then I could think up such wonders.

TINYOWLKNITS is where it's at for me right now.Go,go,go,go there now my little lovelies, you must, you owe it to yourselves.

It's like I'm looking right into my head, and who wouldn't be happy with some kitty gloves, or bunny slippers??????? Come on now, we all want!



I think the bee keepers quilt has been doing the rounds in bloggy land for a while, and rightly so...it is quite honestly........the bizzo.....yes I said bizzo.



Did you ever see such gloriousness? ( is this a word? )................................... if you already knew about TINYOWLKNITS  I beg your pardon, just go back to the top of the post and look at my candles. If not, you are welcome, your life will now change, and all you will think about before you go to bed are bunny slippers, gnomes, beekeepers quilts, butterfly gloves and Mr.Fox........( I do NEED one, I WILL have one ).

Happy Weekend xxx

  1. I too am having cream woodburner yearnings! I even went into the local stove shop last week thinking yes we can do this by Christmas... until they kindly added on the price of the hearth, the flue, opening up the chimney and them fitting the bloody thing! Maybe Christmas 2012 will be our woody one?

  2. Much as I love wood burners (we have one in Tim's office), they are not real fires. You cannot beat having a real open fire - it's also much easier to make one (just need a hole and a basket) but wood burners cost a small fortune. We need a new one as they don't last forever.

    That blanket is so nice!

  3. We have boringly replaced one real fire with a snazzy high-tech gas affair, and that's my new obsession ... we have fancy flame but we also have controllable heat and no mess ... wish we'd done it sooner! Still love to fill the place with candles though :D
