Making your own gifts and decorations this year 2017

Making your own gifts and decorations this year.

This year now that both of my children are older I am looking at celebrating this year with them for the fist time and to try and teach them the true meaning of the festive season.

For me it is “The Gift of Giving” so we are in the process of doing this and celebrating Yule.

So this year their dad is already underway with making the boys their Yule gift and I am looking at decorating the house and what food and events that we are going to take place.

So it is the 20^th November 2017 and a month before I will be looking at decorating the house and the tree.

So where do I start.?

One of the things that I am looking at is what I have in the house and how I can use what I have instead of buying things new and also about what I can forage from the !!br0ken!!

One thing that I have been looking at is the following links fro inspiration and Facebook pages and group that I am in.

Cloves

one of the things that I am looking at for The festive season is buying Cloves.

What are Cloves?

Cloves are the aromatic flower buds of a tree in the family Myrtaceae, Syzygium aromaticum. They are native to the Maluku Islands in Indonesia, and are commonly used as a spice. Cloves are commercially harvested primarily in Bangladesh, Indonesia, India, Madagascar, Zanzibar, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and Tanzania. Cloves are available throughout the year.

Buying them “Fair Trade”

http://www.fairtrade.org.uk/en/what-is-fairtrade

Beacuse they they are from over seas I am looking at buying them fair trade and to also look at selling them whole sale when I set up my own business. I am looking at selling dried products for making things with in the future. Cloves can be brought al year and can be purchased form any supermarket so why use them them fro the Winter Holidays what makes them so important?

Health benefit can be found by following the links below.

Cloves are a good source of manganese, selenium, magnesium, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin K, dietary fibre and vitamin C.

http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=foodspice&dbid=69#healthbenefits

http://www.antioxidants-for-health-and-longevity.com/benefits-of-cloves.html

http://www.nutrition-and-you.com/cloves.html

What do they have to do with the Winter Holidays?

With cloves coming to the UK from places like Indonesia but the region with the largest production is Zanzibar in eastern Africa; most people know of Cloves being Used in Mulled Wine and Christmas Cake.

Now that the UK is so divested with culture, and traditions it would be nice to see Cloves used more and why not start by using them at this time of the year to decorate the home and in cooking.

Make Cloved Orange: A Regency Pomander

This is the art of using Cloves and Oranges to decorate the home and to give as gifts of family and friends at this time of year. For the history y of Cloved Orange: A Regency Pomander please follow this link below.

https://www.janeausten.co.uk/cloved-orange-a-regency-pomander/

One thing that Make Cloved Orange: A Regency Pomander look like are Chirstingles.

What is Christingle?

Chirstingles is a lighted candle symbolizing Christ as the light of the world, held by children at a special Advent service originating in the Moravian Church.

It is sally on the First Sunday of advent which is a Christian way of celebrating this time of year. You can attend a Christingle celebration at your local church and get a christingel as part of the services whilst collecting money for charity.

week before

Week before Nursery starts.

I can not believe that the summer holidays is almost over. And that both of my children will be off to nursery. I think to myself BREATH! 15 hours a week and no children. The only reason that this happening is due to be being able to claim the 2 year funding.

I think to myself IF I did not get the two year funding what would have done? Only my oldest would be nursery and the youngest still at home. BUT that is not bad thing, after all children grow up so fast. You blink and you miss it.

I have worked since I was 15years old so now it is time to have a break to be a mum and take care of someone other myself full time.

SO 15 hours per week what is my plan? Thinking about it, I only have 3 hours per week after dropping them off each day and waiting to pick then up to really do anything.

So I ham going to try and put a plan together and take things from there. The main thing that I would like to do is be more clutter “FREE and to remove any thing from my life that I no longer need.

I am looking at sorting out all of my books first and only keeping the ones that I love, need and are not damaged.

Since having the boys, I have read more and this is something that I love to do and wish I had more time to do.

So my first Aim is to read one book by Christmas and work on my own book to get the final prof reading over and done with.

So this weekend I will spend it with my children finish and before “nursery” shopping and get ready for the first week back.

To Celebrate the 75^th Anniversary Kate Baffin and Heather Wastie will bring Isobel's War and Idle women Judies to waterside venues to recreate the journey that the women took (London-Birmingham-Coventry-London.)

They will be travelling with a show Called The Alarum Theatre and an historic narrow boat called Trench. With the support of public funding by the National Lottery through the Arts Council England.

One of the places that they are looking at stopping at is Nuneaton due to the Griff Clara Number four Collieries that was once in Nuneaton.

Lent Blog Day 25 Happy Mothers Day!

With mother day almost upon us I think of those who have lost love ones and have held them in their hearts as a mother or a mother figure. I lost think of Mary and how soon she would be a mother losing her son. Some thing that one should ever endure the loss of a child.

But these last few days have been filled with happiness and sadness for those I love and know around me. With Winter looking like to is clearly over. The clocks go forward to show and remind us that life never stops and that things happen for a reason. Although the loss of one you love is a pain that you never forget but due to live with in time.

Today was another day where the sun was shining to remind everyone of spring and new life.

I also attended the local market, shops in Nuneaton with my family and went to a charity event in Camphill for a local boy with leukaemia. I then visited my family and came home.

Lent Blog Seven "Inernational Women's Day 2017!"

Lent Blog Day Seven

https://youtu.be/drGx7JkFSp4

“Happy International Women's Day!” I think that it is great that this day comes up during Lent it give people time to think about women and women's rights! I know some men might be thinking ”What about our rights?”

But to day is about celebrating equality and diversity and people being able to have a voice! This is still not the case in many countries with the inability of “Free Speech.” Today people that are mentioned and celebrated are women throughout history that have helped to make a difference in one way or another.

But people tent to forget to celebrate the birth of every women and how much of a struggle life can be for the female sex. For me, one of the biggest struggles in life is motherhood. Even if you are not a biological parent to the child you raise being a mother figue is any way shape or form is to me the hardest job for a women.

Do not get me wrong being a father fugue is too, however the bound between mother and child usually last forever especially in the animal world; most males tend to farther the off spring and “that’s all she wrote.”

One mother that people tend to look to or think about especially at this time of year is Mary; the mother of Jesus and what she did for her son. Form the moment he opened his eyes and closed them.

The hardest thing for any parent is the loss of a child; “parents should not really out live their children.” So to day I am happy to celebrate international Women’s Day and remember every Mother figure in the world enough Mother’s Day is not until later in the month.

Also make sure that you practice safe sex!

Remember it is not just the fear of having a little one to look after in 9 months if you are not careful. There is the chance that you may need to take a trip to the GUM Clink too!

One of the main things that still worries people when they are not safe with a partner is becoming pregnant it is not catching an STD, or HIV or AIDS!

I know that National Aids Awareness Day is not until 1^st of December BUT, for me it is something that people should be aware of all year round, epically on days when we treat to let our guard down and forget to practice safe sex.

Also a lot of people love to DO IT!

BUT how many of use talk about it??

So enjoy to day BUT be safe!

WITH A PARTNER(S) THAT SAY YES!

The History of St. Valentine's Day

Vintage Jewlery

I have been going though the items that I am going to be putting on ebay fro sale this month and have found some necklaces that my be gold or gold plated.

The only question is how do you find out what something is made of so that you can look at how much someone may pay fro it.

Out of the four necklaces that I have for sale two are branded.

The first says DICINI and the second is stamped W. GERMANY.

So I have taken the time to look into these Items and their possible origin.

1. DICINI
2. W. GERMANY

DICINI INFORMATION

I found this very difficult to find any thing out about. If some one could give me some information about this jewellery it would be helpful. What I do know is that the make/brand is classed as vintage.

(I have not put it on eBay yet it is still in storage.)

W. GERMANY INFORMATION

what I found out about this necklace is that because it is stamped W. GERMANY. This means made in West Germany. It was also probably made after World War 2. Which would have been after 2^nd September 1945. This is due to in 1949 The Berlin Wall was built to split until 1989. The Berlin wall was finally pulled down on November the 9^th 1989 to help reunify Germany.

https://youtu.be/MM2qq5J5A1s

It is gold in colour and is probable made from an inexpensive metal, like most products made during this time.

Glass may have been used for decoration and to help imitate precious stones, this was due to the struggling economy. Many items would have been made be women after the war and “costume jewelry” became significant with international trade, including the USA.

The necklace is also a Herringbone Chain. This is a chain that has the greatest liquid effect, formed from v-shaped links to lie entirely flat. One side can be engraved for greater aesthetics, and thin strands of herringbone can be twisted or even plaited together.

A Shepard's Hook Clasp/ S Hook Clasp with a twisted link chain and W. Germany stamped into a small pendent on the end of the necklaces.

At the time I was intrested in finding out more about this I was collecting jewlery and I noticed that it said West Germany on it and I could nit understand why.  So I did some reaseach and found out some intresting links that I have added below.

A New Year a new ME 2017

New Year New Me!

Now that it is 2017 it is time to think about a “NEW ME”. Now that I am in my 30’s and a full-time mum. It is time for me to start looking at some “Life changes” that will not just benefit me but my children too.

1. Drink and Eat more healthy
2. Exercise
3. De-Clutter my life
4. Limit to being on life for no more than two hours per day.
5. Save £1,000
6. Look at going back to work
7. BE HAPPY WITH WHO I AM!

What I am going to do is start the new year by reading more of the books that I have shelved and then putting them on my travel book page and eBay of sale.

I am going to start by reading the following,

1. EcoBeauty Scrubs, Rubs, Masks and Bath Bombs for you and Your Friends. By Lauren Cox With Janice Cox ISBN Number 978-1-580-08852-7
   To help me save more money but making my own beauty products and to also reduce and reuse and recycle where ever I can.
2. Confident Children Help Children feel good about themselves By Gale Lindenfield ISBN978-0-7225-3956-9 To help raise my children and to try and create I more happy and safe home.
3. The Toddlers Busy Book 365 Creative Games and Activities to keep your 1-1/2 to 3 years old Busy. By Trish Kuffner ISBN 0-88166-357-3 To help raise my children and to try and create I more happy and safe home and to help to home educate my two boys.
4. BBC What Not To Wear part 2 for every occasion Accompanies the new ten part television series By Trinny Woodall and Susannah Constantine ISBN 0-297-84355-9. This was a book that I got for Christmas a few years ago as a “joke” by an old friend of mine who thought I need some fashion tips.
5. The 7-day Zone diet join the low- carb revolution! 7 Days that will change your life forever By Barry Sears, Ph. D. ISBN 0-00-770286-8 to help me lose the added two stone that I have gained since having my youngest son in 2015.

So all I need to do now is stay on track and get reading.
