Hey Bloggettes,
During the heat wave we have had here in the UK i have not been able to stop myself painting...it is the perfect drying weather and it is so nice to be outside in the fresh air,well fresh unless your using Farrow And Ball paint,i love the finish and the colors but oh lord it is sooooooo strong........

A dirty mirrored shelf from a junk shop.....

A tarnished silver plated cream jug from a junk shop....

Some roses from our garden.......

A dash of Farrow And Ball in Old White gives you....... a fitting throne for the Queen of flowers

Have a wonderful day Bloggettes
Love Kristina XxX

Faux Stone Effect

2009-05-30T14:53:00.000-07:00

Hey Bloggettes,
I thought i would try something new today and do a little faux stone effect tutorial for those of you who may be interested and might want to give it a go with something that you have laying around at home or something you see while out and about but don't like its color.......this is my own method that i found worked well through trial and error.
Look how eager i was setting off on my project and then....oh no.....CAMERA!!!!!!!!!!!!! MY BLOG!!!!!!!!!!!!! is this just me or do you all do the same haha ? answers on a postcard or please leave a comment so i know i'm not the only crazy lady screaming for her trusty camera..
First of all give your chosen item a good coat of white primer.....as you can see my lion was a shiny plastic looking green and he is made of resin.....shiny would be good to bring up here as stone tends to have a dull finish and thats what we will be aiming for here.....

when choosing your paint shades of which you will need two,one a light beige/cream and the other a chalky/antique white and make sure they are MATT and not eggshell,satin or gloss...... when the primer is dry apply two coats of the darker shade to your chosen piece and leave to dry thoroughly .....here you can see lion with two flat coats of the darker shade......
Now you will need your lighter shade,a sponge,a soft cloth and a paper plate........place some of the lighter paint on the paper plate and then wet your sponge with water and squeeze out just so it feels slightly damp.

Now lightly dab the sponge in the paint until covered and then wipe of excess on the edge of the plate...... start to pat lightly all over the your chosen piece and concentrate on the top surface not on the deeper areas of indentation.....
Take your soft cloth and pat over the wet paint so the paints smudge together and any lines or patches blend together until it looks like the lion here....you will see that as you pat with your soft cloth you will push the lighter paint into deeper holes and crevices giving a really nice peppered chalky stone effect...
Click on any picture for a close up......if you want to use your piece outside use exterior masonry paint and if your piece is not overly large use tester pots its much cheaper.

Have a great weekend Bloggettes Love Kristina XxX

I Could Have Danced All Night.....

2009-05-08T15:13:00.000-07:00

As i lay tucked up in bed gazing dreamingly at my dressing room a wave of sadness suddenly washed over me...... in the morning it would be gone.....you see this was to be our closet for clothes to hang in rows,a real walk in rose papered 1950's just like in the old movies closet......

I had begged for this little idea of mine to be brought to life and at last darling smiled and said yes....and i could have danced all night.......
With a cushioned chair and peony....
And with just a cooking apple green dressing table,dressed with vintage lamps.........the possibilities where endless...
I never dreamed there would be so much room inside...."hey i could make this into another room"..........."No babe your clothes?" he said...."oh" i replied
He left me to clean up while he opened a bottle of red...he had worked so hard all weekend and was tired,he would soon be ready for bed and i didn't have long......i set to work and boy did he get a shock when he came to bed and there at the end of the bed was my beautiful little dressing room shining in the dark.

I lay gazing at my two more dreams that had come true and ticked them from my list,i had a closet and a dressing room and the most amazing man who always makes my dreams come true.

I shall tell my grand children all about the dressing room i had for one night.."honest i have pictures,see..." and how happy granddad made me and how i could have danced all night.....

Goodnight Bloggettes Love As Always Kristina XxX

2009-04-29T04:39:00.000-07:00

He is a Busy bee in our bedroom..... while i dream of roses flowering here

I am a Busy bee in our garden...... day dreaming of flowers for all summer long

A busy bee on our pear tree......while we dream of the fruits that are to come

The first time our pear tree has flowered but it will not be the last

The second time our apple tree has blossomed....... just look at that sky! Kisses Kristina XxX

Lullaby

2009-01-21T02:41:00.000-08:00

Hush-a-bye

Hush-a-bye, don’t you cry, go to sleep you little baby.
When you wake you shall have all the pretty little horses.
Dapples and greys, pintos and bays, all the pretty little horses.

Way down yonder, in the meadow,
Poor little baby cryin, mama;
Birds and the butterflies flutter round his eyes,
Poor little baby cryin’ mama.

Hush-a-bye, don’t you cry, go to sleep you little baby.
When you wake you shall have all the pretty little horses.
Dapples and greys, pintos and bays, all the pretty little horses.

Some days Bloggettes my heart just aches.....but in the most wonderful nostalgic way.

Sorry

2008-12-09T14:29:00.000-08:00

Sorry i fell of the face of the earth and have just managed to climb back on...Mum has had another knee replaced about 4 weeks ago and needed a nurse....which is where i have been,you can see from the picture the surgeon knew what he was doing...i laughed when he doodled this on her leg while she looked at me with a face that said 'uh oh"...she is on the mend and is staying with us now until after christmas...she had the right one replaced in june which was a breeze compared to this one,it is much more painful but was in a worse state the surgeon told us...fingers crossed she will be pain free shortly.

We had a super day in Whitby on Sunday and i have some great pictures..i will try my very best to post tomorrow....i know this post is quick and i apologize but i thought if i don't make a start i may never get back here...i would like to thank you all from the bottom of my heart for your lovely words of comfort on my last post,i will be replying to you all personally as i was very touched by your kindness and i am very sorry i made you cry.

Love and big missing you all hugs Kristina XxX

Autumn Leaves

2008-10-24T03:42:00.000-07:00

Four years ago you my dear sister dropped me off outside of my cottage,we had shopped all day and had bought christmas bits and bobs..... we were always early for our favorite time of year...how we loved spending our tuesdays and wednesdays together and we made the most of them.....a hug and a kiss and you and mum set off on your way home "see you on monday" we shouted to each other,i had a week booked of work and we planned to spend the week together with your two boys....i was stood under the huge yellow chestnut tree and we had all said how beautiful it was towering above us with its limbs stretched out wide as pretty yellow leaves softly fell around us.

Your hand stretched out of the window waving franticly on one side of the car and mums waving on the other,so unfair we had to have breaks ,we used to say we could spend all week together if i didn't work....i stood waving and blowing kisses as your car pulled away..... i would always run after you in the middle of the road and you would stop for one last kiss.

As you pulled away a strong wind blew down the lane and a blanket of yellow leaves covered my view of your waving hand ....could it be the old chestnut tree was trying to tell us something?

The next time i saw your hand it was in mine and you lay quiet and still...you had fallen asleep and would never wake.....time went by and at the chapel of rest i saw your hand again resting in mine,you were so cold but i held your hand for so long until it felt warm again.

You asked me once if anything happened would i look after your boys? if you are watching us you will know i kept our promise...i love them and cherish being a mum.....its still hard for me and little man to talk about missing you...you two are so close and i know he is in pain, a pain i can't take away with a spoonful of medicine ,medium man is even quieter and i feel although brave suffers a different pain a bandage won't fix....the only medicine i know of is the one you used to give me growing up when i was hurt,you were always my big sister with a hug.

Me? at this time of year...tears fall like autumn leaves and tomorrow i will visit our grave under the tree where you are sleeping and you will be covered in yellow autumn leaves like the old chesntut tree predicted,in time as you know we will sleep here together.

God knows how much i love you and he knows i won't be afraid when ever my time comes up because i know i will see my hand in yours once again.

The biggest hugs to you sister xXx

Steve's big surprise

2008-10-17T04:34:00.000-07:00

Hey Blogettes,

Here are piccies of Steve's latest creation,you know when you are half asleep and your other half is talking about a good idea or plan they have come up with? you do...ok..and your reading your favorite magazine and your saying a ha...hmmm...ohh sounds great and you haven't really listened because you think it will never happen or it will be in the future? ok,well,this was i,uh oh.

So next morning downstairs i hear banging and digging noises,i go out and WOAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! what is this at the edge of my pretty white decking? Kristina asks?

"A foundation" Steve says "for our outdoor fireplace we talked about last night"

"Oh right " says Kristina looking shocked and then mumbling something like "cool" lol......doesn't waste time does he?
As the day wore on it turned into this,sorry its blurry i think camera was as shocked as me...Kristina thinks 'oh its not too big'...."just need to build a chimney now" says Steve....hmm thinks Kristina....
Later he finally stopped and sat back with a nice glass of red admiring his handy work (do you see him?) blow him up girls...i mean blow up the pic by clicking on it ;)..."Should be dry by the weekend...so you can paint the render cream if you want?"......Kristina takes this picture and thinks 'i take it he means me?'
A week later......Kristina up bright and early...out with the brushes and paint and she's off,render painted cream....CHECK!.......wicker chairs painted.....CHECK!....

"You know what we need don't you?" says Steve...."Please lord" says kristina...."We need shutters down this side to stop the wind blowing through and make it more cosy" says Steve...."Great idea" says Kristina,then thinks to herself ' bet i have to paint them too'

Shutters go up...."i like the chairs painted "says Steve...."Thanks..the shutters look great" says Kristina......."Yeah when you've painted and aged them they'll be great" says Steve.....'i knew it' says Kristina to herself.....'and my white decking is covered in cement'....."what are you thinking about love?" says Steve...."oh nothing babe" says Kristina hehe
"Are you going to make the three middle shutters today? "says Kristina... obviously not as you can see from the picture lol and i didn't cover the chair cushion covers either, we had had enough but it will be finished shortly,i thought it would be nice to show you so far.

We are going to be out here on Christmas eve and i can't wait.

The wicker sofa was white and ready for a paint,on chair i painted mint green and dry brushed duck egg blue on top,which gave the lovely color you see below and above....the other chair i painted in a pale creamy eggshell color and dry brushed eau de nil on top,it looks really lovely but doesn't really show on this picture...the sofa (not pictured) is chalk pink....the cushions will be covered in contrasting fabric with roses everywhere. the cushions below came with the suite.

The three missing shutters below but not painted,don't all look at me...
"Babe" says Steve....'please' thinks Kristina but says "yes love " sweetly......."You know the roses you painted on that dresser we made?"......."they would look too much on your shutters babe" Kristina swiftly replied......."you think" says Steve....."I know babe,trust me it would be too much" Says Kristna...."ok babe,you know best" says Steve....Kristina turns winks at her Bloggettes and says "men eh girls?"

The End

Love Kristina XxX

"Run Max....Run! "
Today there was a smell of changing seasons outside in the garden at ShabbilyEverAfter.... Max and i could smell the cool autumn chill in the air and the scent of a neighboring log fire drifting sweetly across our land.
Soon leaves will fall and winds will blow and thoughts of firesides and eiderdowns will run dreamily through my head.....have you felt the nip in the air on a morning in your corner of the world Bloggettes?
Love And Hugs Kristina XxX

Rain Rain Go Away!

2008-07-11T23:32:00.000-07:00

Hey Bloggettes,
Rain rain go away come back another day.....when will it ever stop? the lawn has not had a hair cut for two weeks because it just will not stop and i am running in and out in between showers to dead head the flowers....oh for a glimmer of sun.
In my last post i posted a picture of a secret garden,well unfortunately it is not ours it belongs to a beautiful house called Burton Agnes Hall that we had visited on a rainy day.
Burton Agnes Hall is a Lovely Elizabethan House filled with treasures collected by the family over a period of 400 years and a history going back to Norman times, it is to be found off the A166 road about 35 miles east from York City.

Roger de Stuteville first built his Norman manor house on the site in 1173 this would have been rather austere and gloomy. The hall is thought to be named after Rogers daughter Agnes, and parts including including the original vaulted chamber and the Great Hall still form contrasting features of the current house today.

Sir Henry Griffiths sumptuously decorated new home was constructed at the beginning of the 17th century by the celebrated Robert Smithson a Master Mason to Queen Elizabeth I. The house passed to down to the Boynton family in 1654, and later in 1989 was inherited by Simon Cunliffe-Lister (aged 12 ) and managed for him by his mother Susan, the daughter of Viscount William Whitelaw. The Hall is renowned for it's plasterwork ceilings, skilled wood carvings, Persian carpets and impressionist paintings In all this time the house has never been sold on the open market, only inherited.

A tragic legend that bears telling, is that during the Halls construction, Anne one of Sir Henry Griffiths daughters was attacked by robbers and subsequently died. On her deathbed she told her sisters she would be unable to rest in peace unless they promised to preserve some part of her in the beautiful new Hall that she would never now occupy. Subsequent to her burial in the churchyard, ghostly noises began to disturb her family, so they reluctantly decided to comply with her wishes and her skull was incorporated into the fabric of the house, whence peace returned.

The old walled garden was redeveloped in 1990 as a 'new Elizabethan Garden' with herbaceous borders, the scented garden, herbs and a collection of shrub roses, also giant board games to play in colourful gardens plus a maze.
Click on the pictures for a bigger view.

The little girl in the fountain lives in the walled garden and i just fell in love with her,if you ever get the chance to visit it really is worth it.
I could imagine Atonement being filmed here or some lovely period drama it really has fantastic grounds and water features.
I have tried to upload these pictures about ten times over the week with no success has any one else had trouble uploading?
Have a lovely weekend hopefully with a little sun (fingers crossed)
Love Kristina XxX

8 Years Have Passed.....

2008-06-14T13:43:00.000-07:00

so quickly and memories and pictures in my head go flickering by like an old black and white movie,they are in no order and no age range just me and you in different costumes speaking different lines but living the same wonderful life.... it was your birthday on thursday and tomorrow its Fathers day...... i gazed at cards you would have liked and it burns me inside knowing that i can no longer write something lovely inside for you to read ...i see other girls choosing cards and i'm jealous,i feel excluded,like i'm an orphan,i feel cold...tears are flowing and still like the day you left my heart is broken,i never believed you would break my heart but you left and it shattered....i guess i just want to say Happy Birthday Daddy and Happy Fathers Day...i miss and love you XxX

Hey Bloggettes,
I have had a busy time lately and will be posting all about it,sorry i have been away so long XxX

Every things coming up roses preview

2008-04-30T13:16:00.000-07:00

Click on for a bigger picture....

Hey Bloggettes,

Well girls you all wanted to take a peek ......so this is so far.

As you can see it is now joined (by my clever Steve) together and the painting is well on its way......i plan to paint more roses under the two bottom drawers on the flat panel and on the drawers and doors i will paint something similar to the top and maybe paint a watery dusky rose around the drawers and doors on the lip...my plan is not to have them all antique white.

The middle also has two shelves which i haven't put back yet...i may just put one back so there is a larger space on the top one for a vase of flowers or a lamp.

Anyhow enough of me babbling hehe.....i hope you have all had a lovely day.

Love Kristina XxX

Spring Has Sprung!

2008-04-29T03:42:00.000-07:00

Hey Bloggettess,

Look at these too spring babies....the little lamb was playing peek-a-boo behind the tree...either that or she knew i was trying to get her close enough so i could take her home hehe.

The little foal was so confident...he walked straight over and looked me up and down as if to say 'yes can i help you?' or could it be he has learned us humans carry snacks? ;).....also there is another new beautiful (made me cry)arrival over at katherines dream,sorry i'm not sure how to link,i'm on a mac :/

I love this time year its so energizing and it makes you feel like you have another shot at getting everything right...like you can wipe the slate clean and start all over right?

I have worked hard on the dresser from my last post but i still have not finished....now would you all like to see it so far? or wait until i have finished? i really don't mind just let me know on your comments.

Love You Kristina XxX

A Dog On A Blog

2008-04-10T09:15:00.001-07:00

Hiya Its Me Max,

This face along with my stitches got me rice pudding,chicken,crisps,cake, i just pulled this puppy face and it kept on coming he he....i just lay in my comfy little bed.

Look at this picture....he he he i can still work it with no stitches,mummy falls for it every time.
Don't you just love moms new sign? she loves it.. she said "its right Max..its so right" then she kissed me on the head and squeezed me really tight.

I just wanted to say a big thank you to all of you wonderful ladies for sending me all these wonderful hugs and kisses...i'm feeling great now thanks to my mummy she has looked after me all through the night and day and nothing was too much for her,she is great and i love her lots.

I had my stitches out last night and today mummy cut my hair on my face,they shaved a patch for my big operation and mummy said she would work her magic and make me look cute again (2nd picture is my new hair cut)i had a hot bubble bath too hehehe ahhhh this is the life.

Love Max XXX

Update on Max

2008-04-02T14:46:00.000-07:00

Hey Bloggettes,

Thank you all so much for your kind words they help so much when you are going through tough times and Max and me appreciate it xxx

If you have a pet that has a sore eye go straight to a specialist...NOT the vet....if we had gone straight to the specialist Max would probably still have two eyes,it all began with a scratch on his eye ball that quickly turned ulcerated and then cost him his eye..i know this picture of him at the moment is grim and i am sorry if anyone finds it upsetting but i wanted to make a point of how important the right treatment is and fast,be sure to tell everyone about Max so they don't have to go through the same nightmare with a loved one.

Max is scared and confused and is needing twenty four hour care at the moment... i am up with him at three,four,five in the morning but he is so worth it and deserves all his special treatment after what he has gone through this past week.

Max is sleeping in a baby's crib which is the same height as our bed...so i can hug him all night otherwise he just cries out until i touch him,just for him to know i am there makes him feel so much better....i remember that feeling when i was sick and mum would always stroke my head its a precious feeling.

Thank you again girls you are the best...wish me some sleep tonight lol ;)

Love and kisses Kristina XxX

2008-03-31T03:11:00.000-07:00

Thank you all for your lovely kind comments it really meant a lot to me xxx

Well i did my very best all weekend with Max and he was looking and acting great until this morning .....ten minutes before we set off to the vets his eye ruptured..can you believe it? so now he is now in surgery having it removed and i feel helpless and so heart broken i don't know what to do with myself.

Thank you again girls love Kristina XxX
