Ruby is a good photo prop ;) We've had a nice weekend ... sunshine all Saturday, bit more snow on Sunday ... so still no blooms even thinking of coming up yet! I've been knitting cotton yarn hearts through the weekend (just a few), and left one on my dad's door, which he sort of scoffed at, but I think he really likes that I make him these little things ;) Time for tea I think Claire! Shall I make us some cookies to share?

I absolutely love your wallpaper, it's looks perfect on the stairs. And what lovely bargains, you definitely can't put your lantern away. It will look wonderful lighting up a room in the evening. I am very jealous seeing your Country Living magazines. I also buy mine with my tesco vouchers. I needed to renew my subscription and when I logged onto Tesco they are now just doing email subscriptions, don't fancy that. I am hoping to get back to blogging this weekend, fingers crossed.<br />Ali xAlihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15885333729417424955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3866534943061532614.post-16160299921667546132014-02-07T09:34:36.705+00:002014-02-07T09:34:36.705+00:00Oh Claire, I'm trying to suppress squeals of d...Oh Claire, I'm trying to suppress squeals of delight at your wallpaper (I'm at work you see). It's gorgeous. I only wish I'd known about it before I splashed out on some expensive bird wallpaper from Pips Studio for our dining room. Oh well never mind...Love the house and I agree that it's far too lovely to have just at Xmas. xxLoo xx from Jumbles and Pompomshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13570354905749566677noreply@blogger.com
