{my Kitchen Table}

I have so many great memories that are associated with the table in the kitchen of the house I grew up in.
Painting, cutting, sketching, colouring in, glueing, rubber stamping....all manner of arts & crafts! My mom was rather crafty & I loved being sat at the table on one of the benches doing art work.
We also used to sit at the same benches drinking earl gray tea & eating delightful almond biscuits after having been outside playing in the cold (hilarious I know, but it's true!).
My sister & I also used to eat our dinner there most nights with our mom (dad didn't get home from work until later)... we used to have pink grapefruit as a starter regularly (seems bizarre as it's not something I eat now) and I was made to drink cups of milk (which I very much disliked!).
Now as a grown up (cough, cough!) with my own children, I am creating memories at our table.
We do lots of arts & crafts... painting, cutting, sketching, colouring in, glueing, rubber stamping (notice a similarity!?) and we eat dinner together every evening. 
Baking cakes at the old house. Yummy!I don't have a dining kitchen anymore in the new house, but I have a dining recess in the playroom/dining room which is attached to my small galley kitchen. I've taken the furniture from my old house with me, and thankfully it fits perfectly.
This was the space when I first moved in!
Mild chilli with rice and pasta (her choice!) made into a smiley face!!
The boxes weren't unpacked and they were still at the table drawing!
Getting there!
Creating more art for the walls :)
I've attached two Ikea curtain wires to the wall to display their artwork with plastic bird clips that I bought from cloudy blue in Aberdeen.
Now the walls are painted, and I'm nearly finished this room!
