Anyway in the interests of cozying up for our movie afternoon I've lit the candles, put the fire on and made a pot of tea. I got some cheap fairy lights in Wilkinson this morning ( I get so many fantastic bargains in that place, only £3.50 for a string of led's) and decided to use them to finish off a little chandelier I made out of galvanised garden wire last year. I have made quite a number of these now, the design is fairly simple although you do end up with hands covered in blisters by the end of it, but I do think it's worth the pain to have something beautiful and handmade in your home. I'm not sure I could write a tutorial for one of these but I will see what I can come up with. I used mine to glam up a lacklustre corner of my living room and I'm thrilled with the result now I've added a bit of sparkle with the lights. You may notice a little cobweb in the picture... I'm afraid I didn't have the heart to evict it's tiny inhabitant so it will just have to stay for the time being!
Well I'm off for a lovely sofa afternoon now, Lidl is now stocking those gorgeous iced German ginger biscuits now in time for Xmas so I shall be tucking into one or two of those with my cuppa! Have a lovely afternoon x
