The Belfast flea something for the weekend

Hello! 
This Sunday is the fourth Belfast flea! The market is on from 12 to 6pm in the sunflower bar just off north street. Have a rummage for records, secondhand clothing, plants, bric-à-bra all in the settings of the sunflower bar so there's the added bonus of having pizza and a pint while you're there. The pizza is SO good!! The months flea will be bigger and  better with 20 stalls all jam packed. The flea is a chilled out little fair, with a friendly fun atmosphere and pizza, and if there's pizza then you're always onto a winner. The Belfast flea is held on the last Sunday of the month in the sunflower bar.
Have a great weekend everyone!

The chaotic craft room

Hello,
I doesn't seem that long ago that I was moving stuff around in the craft room to make space for the dolls house shelves. The dolls house making has come to a bit of a stand still, and the craft room has become a little bit untidy, but not in the I've been making a creative mess way but it's the room were we put stuff we're not using. Yesterday after work I decided enough was enough and I needed to claim back some space. I really enjoy making the miniatures but it was annoying me that I haven't done any making in ages! That sounds silly, getting annoyed but I'm the kind of person that wants everything done right now. I've moved stuff around again, mixing the things I use everyday with the miniatures I've made and instantly I feel calmer and so does the room.
The real dolls house is storage for bits and pieces of art and craft stuff, pretty and useful now too.
Hope you're all having a lovely week x

Four

Hello,
I'm a bit late but better late than never so here's a belated blog birthday post. My blog is FOUR! My first blog post was very short, back then I was blogging about home changes and DIYs but as time has went on and we've settled into our home the blog has become less about things I'm changing and just about living and the things I love. I guess that's the blog journey and a reason why I like to keep posting, it's my visual diary, the paper diary I was never able to keep at. My approach to blogging has relaxed now too, You shouldn't write a blog because you feel you have too, but because you feel like you want to. I'm rambling!!! And getting sentimental! So anyway, blogging is great! I love it and although my posts are few and far between these days it's a nice place to come back to and pour out what's in your head.
My friend Kathryn took this photo of me on a recent amble up the local mountain. I love it! Thank you for reading blog friends xxx
