Lovely Man spent an entire day last weekend with his good friend, Ron, sorting out the electrics so the fridge and the cooker could swap places. It's amazing how you start a job which should take just a couple of hours and it ends up taking a whole day because Bodgit and Scarper got there before you and made a right pigs ear of the whole affair! You wouldn't believe the amount of loose, live wires they found! So now I can sleep easy that the electrics are actually safe AND the kitchen is one baby step closer to getting a facelift.
So anyhow I have been busy making my Mother's Day card for mum (18th March in the UK). I've been admiring all the lovely vintage look things in blogland lately and decided I wanted to have a go. Took me a couple of days to get it finished...I'm sure I made it harder than it needed to be simply because I was in too much of a hurry to search out AND READ any tutorials. Therefore I probably used all the wrong methods/tools/equipment but it's done and actually I'm quite pleased with it. Now I know I'm safe showing you guys cos I know my mum never ventures here (her computer tends to be like her cell phone - for emergencies only!) and you will keep 'mum' I know!
Love the frame. I'm going to pin it so my son and his future bride can see it. (they are getting married later this year) Thanks for stopping by my blog. I'm your latest follower. (transplanted Canadian as well) :)

Hi Aimee, well yes I am, I think! Many blogs I visit don't have a comment box visible...although I find sometimes if I refresh the page it suddenly appears! My comments seems to have dropped off a little...although this post seems to have more again so I don't know if I lost followers because my posts have been a bit erratic lately or whether others are having the same problem!
DeleteRona, jsut checking in to see if there is anything new here...Don't give up on those cabinet doors!!
