::The Beetle Shack::: EVERYTHING GOOD ABOUT CHRISTMAS {really}

I am just loving this post, what awesome christmas ideas just fantastic. Thank you for sharing guys :)

One of those weeks

Hello and happy build up to Christmas to you. I hope it is full of Christmas activities and that your houses are decked with lots of lights, tinsel and baubles, mine is. Today both my boys are home as the eldest was too shattered for school, he sometimes has trouble winding down at night and with all the other things his got going on this just exhausts him. So today we have been in my room with Christmas tune blasting, colouring in this rather fab Christmas tree that a kind friend printed off for me,its huge.

We also made a star ladder after seeing this idea on one of my fav blogs, ours is slightly different and i shall put a photo in another post. http://chocoeyes.blogspot.co.uk/2012_11_01_archive.html
But i like the idea of the boys moving the angel up the stars as it gets closers to Christmas and they love the multi coloured stars.
Also this week we booked something to take the kids to see at a lovely local theatre called Penguin, i think i am as excited as they are about this.

But would you believe that i still haven't had one mince pie or a glass of mulled wine, i know what a sin. Happy Weekend to you where ever you are whatever you are doing.

Abit of what i've been up to.

I have been busy doing a bit of crafting round here lately and just having fun with my boys and making a few bits good and bad here is a few pics.

1. Felt leaf mobile i really like this as it twirl in the breeze.
2. Christmas bits and bobs.
3. A little sign and christmas tiny peg doll.
4. Some holly peg dolls.
5. The boys making some clay glitter stars, these look fab on the tree and a gift tags.

And so it begins.....

I have been very busy round here lately, making christmas gifts and decorations, baking, uni work and the general stuff that goes along with being a mum and wife :)

I will post more photos when I have more time but tonight I made two bubble wands, that I will put together with some painted glass jars of homemade bubble mixture as stocking fillers for my two boys. They were so easy to make and I really like them.

What have you been making or baking lately please do share.

Decisions and Stress.

Well I have been having many a sleepless night thinking about where I am heading and what I am doing as I am sure a lot of you do!
 I have decided to continue along with my wonderful degree at uni but I am not wanting to teach mainstream primary education the passion I have inside of me I feel I would not be able to express in this way of teaching. I want to be able to be as arty as I can and be as creative as I would like so I will finish my degree and go from there.
Maybe Montessori, teaching children with long term illness or doing artwork shops at different schools would be wonderful so maybe i will need to do another course after my degree or something any suggestions I welcome with open arms.
Here's to knew and exciting things ahead, I hope.

Friendship.

You know when someone gets you! I mean really get's you inside out, good and bad, ugly and beautiful. They know you and are comfy with even your dirty little secrets you know the one's you don't wana share!
Tell me how often does this friendship come along to be lost and found again!
I have felt this way as of late and realise how much I treasure these feelings and have missed them, I welcome them back with open if not scared (alittle)  arms.
