Cosy!

The nights are drawing in and Christmas is peeping round the corner, my favourite time of year has arrived! I love the winter and on Saturday we lit the woodburner in the kitchen for the first time, it was horrible weather, the wind was blowing and rain lashing down most of the day but I was all cosy sat by the fire with dog and cats having a lazy day reading magazines. It felt a bit strange not to be doing anything with all the frenzy of work lately and I felt a bit guilty with Mr Crow having to be working away all weekend.
It looked so homey and warm through the kitchen window I wish I had got a shot of Midge watching me but she jumped down before I could snap her. I could not sit still all day though and started to rearrange the furniture, like you do! Whenever I do this I always think why didnt I always have it like this, its so much better. Till the next time that is! I have a little dresser and thought it would look nice on the side table so I started to get together some little bits and pieces to go on it and ended up with a mostly red, white and blue theme somehow. I think it looks sweet and if I can stop the cats jumping up and knocking it over it will stay there.

For the V&H Fair I made this little kitsch Christmas Cabinet full of vintage bits, nobody bought it but I dont mind as I love it and will have it out myself this year, unless anyone out there is interested?

I also made this assemblage and the flag below is one of quite a few made from vintage fabrics and hand done embroidery to give it that war time feel. I am really going to try and get stuff onto my etsy shop soon.

Just thought you might like this little bird on a little chair, sweet.

Have a good week, hope you all keep warm and dry!
