The soft toy version ....

Something to look forward too DannieRae - start collecting toys and books!

DD2 was supposed to clear up her toys the other day but it was a step too far, hiding her head and looking absolutely agonised at the thought. Her very kind older sister tidied it all up for her.

Oh I can't wait for my living room to look like that.....my first grandchild is due at the end of May!

I LOVE the rug too.........I thought you were going to say that you made it

Well, Villanelle is safely in her basket, separated from the rest of the soft toys, and everything is clean and tidy, apart from the fingerprints on the window. Until next week.

Mines the same lemon a bomb dropped in every single room from Monday through to Friday and a completely fruitless waste of time trying to clear up on a day to day basis .

Dora you got away lightly! We look as if we have had a burglary in every room ( every weekend.) Takes ages to clear up, sometimes wonder if it’s worth doing,maybe leave it that way for a month instead

I leave the little 'artworks' I find on mirrors or steamed up windows. They always make me smile when I glimpse them!

I love the rug too!

Another one here loving the rug

However, I see you had your tea cooked for you, or was that for the Reindeer and Eve?
We have meals served to us as well (a bit hard on the teeth as they're wooden like yours!).

Just tidied up after 2 of mine aren't we lucky ?To have visitors even if they make a mess ?

I never mind the mess. I'm happy to clear up after they've gone and slump down with a nice cup of tea!

Looks like fun was had ! Can't wait for our GS to be big enough to make a mess, only 3 months old.

Looks like my living room except there are no children here.

Love it !

That sounds gorgeous.

We have a rag doll in our toy box called raggy aggie she had her head bandaged last week after a visit from my GGD.

Thanks- I bought the rug in a little shop in Solihull (Liv.) It’s made in India from bamboo and silk, and is certified Fairtrade and made by rugmakers who are adults and get a living wage. It’s lovely and soft. I just love the rag doll’s expression.

It would look fab in my dining /family room ..... if ever you get sick of it DoraMarr ?

I love your rug too and your shiny floor.

gillybob lovely isn't it!

The one on the stool looks pretty exhausted.

Ha great minds ...

Maybe she’s breathing a sigh of relief ......I love your rug btw DoraMarr

Ah, I remember it well. Sometimes wish those days were back again.

Lovely rug btw!
