Danielle (Dee Dee) Davidson is the daughter of a very good friend
She married Chris yesterday
Mr & Mrs Thomson & their boys
Danielle and our oldest girlie always had a close relationship
they always looked like they had been separated at birth have very
similar natures and both like a 'function'
Shelley & friend doing as Hazel Irvine aptly described during the
Commonwealth Games as scottish line dancing ' The Slosh '
Have been searching for a unit to take the tv, video etc
As I am not too keen on the modern units that are around end up
once again at the local furniture recycling unit
I spied this at the same time as hubbie
We both liked it but returned home empty handed not sure if it would do
Half an hour later we headed back to purchase it sure we could
make it work. Not sure how long it will take to strip and paint as
it's a bit busy here at the moment and the weekend sees us at a
wedding Shelley and Joe are staying here the night of the wedding then
early celebrations on Sunday as it's Shelleys birthday on the 4th but she and Joe
will be in London visiting Joe's sister and family.
Hence the before photo not sure when the after will appear
The Summer Holidays have come to an end
Few photos from the past few weeks
Brilliant Balloon
The Boys fav birthday pressie
Pressie time for Shelley she
got a new job still with Quariers but a managers position.
No more weekend work or sleepovers.
The 1st day at primary school for the boy
P6 for the girl all at the new Redwell School
Sneaky snooze
The full circle.... Ashley & Gayle were friends at school
Now it's the turn of their daughters
Here we go again yet another bit of recycling/ upcycling
During Colin's summer break he plastered the walls and put a new ceiling up
in what will be my sewing / craft room.
It has a small daybed that will get a multi coloured crochet blanket on it
when I eventually get around to sewing 100 crochet squares together
Anyway being on a mission to spend as little as possible I was on
the hunt for a desk that could be upcycled and hey presto
the local furniture recycling company had exactly what I was looking for
Painted it in my fav Farrow & Ball
A wax of the top and 4 handles
I think it's turned out great the Welsh Dresser that started me on the recycling
route has been move to the opposite wall had a tidy and new bunting
Costs: Desk £25. Handles £1.35 each. Paint & Wax I already had
The boy will be 5 on Wednesday
He had a small get-together for 8 friends at
the local Kidsworld. The theme being super heroes.
His cake was made by a friend of Mummy
Only the bottom was cake the top layers being made of cardboard
covered in icing.
There was a face painter there too
Which the kids loved
The girlie like her mama loves The Simpson
Ashley has a few collectible pieces from her younger days
Another love of the girlie is Lego
She had her eye on The Simpsons Lego House
As it costs quite a few pennies she was trying to save up for it
she reckoned she might with pocket money, birthday money and the 20% off
that Smyths usually has in October she might just manage to purchase it then.
Everyone in the family where possible gave her pennies for her birthday
ourselves included and with a little extra bit of help from Mum & Dad
RESULT!!!!!!!!!
One delighted girl
