So a lot has happened in the past three years! Not long after my last post, June 2013, my Mom was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia. Sadly she didn’t win her fight and passed away in October 2013. Needless to say this was a very difficult for my family and me. My Mom was a very… Continue reading 2013 to 2016 – Life Update!
I am very fortunate to be surrounded by wonderful friends in Aberdeen. I owe a great deal of thanks (and a large portion of my sanity) to everyone who has helped me in the past year since I’ve moved in. From chopping my logs (Duncan), to falling in my pond (Stevie K) to some hardcore… Continue reading My Garden Army 🙂
Being a fan of the vintage kitchen, open shelving and kitchen dressers are a must! I found a beautiful dresser for sale on eBay. I won the auction and tootled off to Dundee in a hire van to pick it up. I measured the space to see if it would fit and it does but… Continue reading My Kitchen Dresser
My Kitchen is finally finished!! Floors & Doors aren’t being included in the ‘finished’ stakes! I finished my tiling and I have to say I’m pretty damn proud of it! For a first tiling job I think it’s not half bad. I also changed the shelves above the worktop. I decided I didn’t like them,… Continue reading Kitchen Update!!!

The kitchen before I started: Kitchen Before Then I unpacked all my stuff, took out the little shelves under the cupboards and my (self-diagnosed/friend observed) OCD was offended by cupboard doors that wouldn’t stay shut so they had to go!! So you’re seeing a problem here, not least with… Continue reading The Kitchen Revamp!!
Morris needs the most work in the garden and I’m taking it step by step. I have marked off some of the beds and started putting fencing up. The areas either side of the steps needed a serious overhaul. It nearly broke me but here’s some of the results! 🙂 There’s still work to do… Continue reading Grueling Gardening … 😦
So i really love the pallet coffee tables you see around but refuse to pay the going rate which appears to be anything from £100 to £300 and beyond. It’s a pallet and some wheels…seriously….!!! I’ve also always been a fan of upholstered coffee tables… … and couldn’t decide which I preferred so I decided… Continue reading My home-made Upholstered Pallet Coffee Table…
I inherited my Great-Aunt’s Singer Sewing machine, I absolutely adore it and have always wanted to get a table for it. I bought one recently on gumtree but didn’t realise the apertures came in different sizes!! Unfortunately it doesn’t fit my machine so I decided to re-purpose it!!! This is what it looked like before… Continue reading Sewing Table to Dressing Table
It being spring and the time of new beginnings n’ all I thought it apt that I start with my veggie patch!! The first task was to turn the area in which I envisioned a veggie patch into an actual patch of dirt that would accommodate vegetables. Easy I hear you say,yeah, I thought so too!! Last… Continue reading First Post – Veggie Patch
