this week has involved wallpaper. stripey and new. in her room. having a little update to take it on a bit from the nursery it was to something more fun now elsa likes to play in her own room. i had a lesson in hanging it from my mum. it is now my favourite thing to do. i dream of doing the whole of the dining room next...we have lots of rooms with just a feature wall but i'd really like a whole patterned room. i'll continue to search ebay for a job lot. wallpaper is expensive! for now though i am very happy that we have inherited my dear grandad roy's old papering table and i have the tips that he most probably passed on via my mother.
as you might notice i've been having fun with elsa's hair too. inspired by fred. i just wish we'd stop stepping on the clips she drops and breaking off the teeth! painful and not so good to grip with.
i have booked myself a waaaay overdue haircut for next week. i am looking forward to going short again. and having a fringe that is straight...not looking forward to explaining my 6 month absence and bad trimming to my hairdresser though. what style though? most probably i am going to take along my pinterest board. or tell her how lovely keira/anna k's hair looked when she hacked it all off in the film. oh and did you see this great link that miss pickering shared? smile.
beautiful little elsa :) well done on hanging wallpaper! my grandad was a dab hand at that too being a painter & decorator ;) it looks so tricky to do! i'd be afraid of ruining it especially as wallpaper is so costly, great job kelly :) x
ReplyDeletehello hannah! so lovely to hear from you :)
Deleteyes it sounds like both our grandad's were very handy. i really miss mine. i feel so lucky he actually helped us paint elsa's nursery and he got to be in her life for a few months. i wish he was still here. although he would gasp what (nice) wallpaper costs i know ;) i must give a big shout out to my mum who got me going with the papering and amused elsa whilst i smoothed out the bubbles! xx
I love her hair! She really is very pretty indeed! :)
ReplyDeleteoh thank you :) i am so happy at last that she will let me have a little play with her crazy curly hair!
DeleteShe is just so precious! What a beautiful girl.

ReplyDeletethank you bee! well if it gives you hope it has only been in the last month that elsa has let me go near her hair and do anything!! and it is fun now she likes it...before i'd be chasing her with just one teeny clip so i could try and keep her crazy curls out of her eyes :)
