Hello everyone :) Sorry I am so late showing my 3rd advent gifts but I am unwell at the moment. I have arthritis in both my knees and a few days after I returned from Madrid I had very severe pain in my left knee it is very swelled and so painful that I find it difficult to even get out of bed. I am on medication now that leaves me tired with very little energy so please forgive me if I don't make many comments I am trying to read them all but just don't have the energy to comment. I have had blood test and have to go for x-rays in a few days time. Lucky I have my family close by so Christmas wont be a complete disaster lol. I opened some beautiful gifts on Sunday and they cheered me up a lot :)
From Leena the books are beautiful Thank you Leena.
From Drora cute slippers and one of her wonderful baskets. Thank you very much Drora I love your baskets.

From Kikka my initials how cool and thoughtful and a fantastic chopping board with kitchen knife. Thank you Kikka beautiful gifts.

From Fabiola fantastic gifts. I love the chicken sign as I have a chicken themed kitchen in mind. Thank you Faby

These were all taken while I was propped up in bed lol Not to bad yea :-D
I was also very lucky to get a wonderful package from a wonderful generous friend all the way from the Ukraine. Here is what Tatiana sent me.
A fantastic cooler and stuffed inside lots of beautiful beads.

The basket and try are gorgeous .

Now about my trip to Madrid WOW what a fantastic time I had I met sooo many people and got sooo many hugs lol everyone made me feel so welcome and though I have not a word of Spanish I enjoyed my time with everyone. I want to say a special  thanks to  Paky  and her husband and Susi whom I bumped into many times over the two days and were always ready with a smile and words of encouragement :) It was an honour to meet you all. Sadly I did not get to meet all the blog friends at the fair it was so much Bigger than I imagined and I don't have any Spanish Who knows maybe next time ;-D  I did get a few pictures I would have loved more but I was truth to tell a little overwhelmed and took non the first day.
Lovely to meet you Paky

Living room.

Hello everyone :) Dare I say it but November is coming to a close and it wont be long till Christmas is here. I am sure that like myself most of you are already madly shopping for the big day :))) But I did give myself a little bit of time to do some work on my witchy living room. This room gave me the most trouble as I kinda knew what I wanted but I couldn't seem to get it together till an idea hit me lol. I wanted the walls red and the ceiling silver but it just wasn't right I then put some glitter on it hmmm still not right but look what my idea was and for me it worked :-D
Yes Bats I had some Halloween confetti and I thought I would try this.


The window treatment.

And a border of black cats.

Some painted furniture.
The sink

A small table.


The cooker all painted by me.


A sofa to relax or entertain on :-D 


I have started on some more pieces and will show them another time.
I wont have a lot of time to do any more besides being busy getting ready for the holiday guess where I am going for the weekend :-DDD  As an early Christmas present from my family I am heading to Madrid to the Dollshouse fair I am sooo excited It is a dream come true for me as I have Never been to one. We don't have fairs like that here.
I hope I see some of you there that would be the icing on the cake :-)))
Have a great Sunday and a wonderful week.
Warm Hugs to all my Friends.

Elfvera's Bedroom

Hello everyone :)
I have at last got a little more done on my witchy house. Elfvera's bedroom is more or less finished. As always there will be little things to do in it probably forever lol. I even have the living room started but that's for another post :-)
I see a naughty little dragon is thinking about jumping up on the bed :-D














I hope   you like the bedroom as much as Elfvera does. She is very happy to at last have her own place to relax.
Wishing all my friends a wonderful weekend.
Warm Hugs to you all.
