Santa and Mrs Claus are finally home!!

Finally I am able to post some pics of my beautiful Santa and Mrs Claus house, that I have been collecting bits for, over the last year! The house is from Kevin Jackson Dollhouses and is just too beautiful... honestly the pics don't do the house justice at all... but here goes anyway, and of course my Father Christmas and Mrs Christmas and Elves are all made by Julie at Bellabelle Dolls! Just beautiful and no doubt we will need more at some point! The house isn't finished by a long shot so you will see some gaps where furniture etc is needed to make sense of it... but enjoy!

 Santa is out of the balcony here watching all that goes on with his cup of tea.......


 The house with the panels off the front! Bit hard to see the detail I know so more detail below!!!
   
 Baby Santa's bedroom in the attic viewable from the front!
 Father Christmas study with desk and list to be checked twice, and will be a wrapping room too!!!
 Mr and Mrs Claus' bedroom with beautiful four poster complete with real patchwork quilts and pillows! Not much else in here yet!! Beautiful side windows too!
 Mrs Claus hard at work in the kitchen/living room! Hamper for Father Christmas being prepared for his long night ahead!
 Fireplace in the kitchen/living room, awaiting a lovely armchair for the blanket and some sort of oven in the fireplace I think!
 Santa's workshop on the ground floor, complete with wonderful dolls house making table from Kastle Kelm, and all sorts of goodies....
 In the corner of the workshop here you can just about see Santa's workbench with paints on and lovely wooden painted toys! Really need a good stock of toys in here!
 Just an outside view showing the living room, study/wrapping room and bedroom!
 The attic room from the other end, side opening... bedding on the floor for elves beds which havent got yet! Thinking of having something put high up! Maybe the elves mattresses! and maybe making this into a tailor area for teddy bears and maybe clothes too!
And lastly Mrs Claus looking through the kitchen window! You can't see how fab this is from the picture... but it really is!

Considering our mail sorting area, maybe outside under the stairs, although originally planned this to be the reindeers home! We will see! Maybe it can double up!!

Merry Christmas everyone! We must dash as Father Christmas must get off now on his rounds!!!

Much love

Weight loss update!

Okay week 22 done, and lost another 3.25lbs... this is now 68.75lbs. Pretty pleased with that. Actually had a few low weeks lately so need to step it up in the new year for certain if I am going to meet my May deadline!

Had my followup hospital appointment today with the fertility doctors. Sadly didnt get the evil witch so I could rub her face in it! hehe But did get another lady who was pretty pleased with my weight loss (even though she wasnt singing and dancing which I thought was a poor show!!) Anyway, she has now put me on some drugs which are half of those that I am working towards with my weight loss!! This is big news!!!! These drugs are given to women with PCOS to assist with weight loss, and they are linked to increased fertility rates also! The combination of them and another drug is what stimulates ovaluation in women like me... so we'll see!

Went to my Big Girls party this weekend too, and had a few complements from people I havent seen since those last pictures were taken last october!! Was pretty good fun!!
