Got to pick up the pace!!!!!!

Hi there its been a while....I've got to admit i've done sooooo little over the past two weeks.
I think maybe i overdid things a wee bit after  my op & just had to slow down, not something i relish, i do like to keep going, keep busy, create, make stuff & things & have lots to do.......blah, blah ..........!!!!
You know what i mean...............don't you??????????????
So i really don't have much to show for the last two weeks :(

I did find a lil treasure in our thrift shop though. I've been wanting a lamp for my kitchen for some time now, but had a wee space problem out there, no where to put one. Then i spotted this....

Yeah great right!!!!
First things first, a coat of white paint, i've done one, it eagerly awaits the second.
Off with that brown covering on the shade, pick a pretty color & viola


Thats it so far.....the best thing though is its a wall mounted lamp that can be pulled in or out over my little kitchen table, where i intend to fix it once its finished.
Tomorrow!!!!!
Will post a pic when its done.
Can't believe what fresh paint & cute fabric does to an otherwise discarded old treasure!!
Will love the atmosphere it 'll create as i'm not a big lover of bright overhead lights.

Have been doing a small amount of crafting....some christmas decorations, nothing to write home about but an attempt nonetheless!!!!! Have a peek.....


I am part of a christmas decoration swap with Julie at A Tale From a Toadstool House & i'd really want to get my 'you know what' in gear.
Tomorrow :D
Right now its time for ...............

 And........


And a lot of blog browsing for an hour or maybe even two :D
Toodles for now
Have a very sweet evening
Lots of love Karen Xxxxxxxxxx
