Corrimec Decoration and Post!

OK, this is what our corrimec (portacabin-style room) used to look like.

... and this is after decoration. For those who might be confused, our beds are underneath the wood covered section. They are basically brick cubby-holes with mattresses in. They protect us from all the bad stuff :)

I added nicer sheets of wood, covered the bricks with green fabric, and ordered 'picture wallpaper' which I 'hung' this morning (with industrial strength double-sided sticky tape!

The only money spent was about £30 on the posters (I still have two left) and £8 on the green fabric, but my 'home' is so much nicer now!

I then put up some rather sparse christmas decorations, but they still look nice...

twinkles... and a card line but I hung crackers on it as I only have 2 cards so far and both are inside my bedspace!

AND... guess what came in the post!
...and what I stitched on night shift 1...

Photos I love

I took these photos from the top of the tower, I took loads and loads as you can imagine, but I love these for 'artistic' reasons! Even though they are bleak in colour I find them really pretty!
I also got my poster for the corrimec! It comes in 8 posters so plenty of greenery to remind me of Britain :) This is the picture it makes up.
I've reorganised my page a bit (I have to go on different computers to do different things!) and added blogs that I've found so interesting so that I can see when new posts come in... I'm sure I'll try to completely overhaul the blog when I get home but till then, it'll have to stay nice and simple!
