Home work!

A dear friend painted the wood work in my lounge (except for the door) with a fresh lick of white paint, something i had never found the time to get round to! And that gave me the impetus to do a pit of patchwork and collage-ing , covering the walls beside the fireplace with a fun selection of wallpapers torn from sample books ...

I have covered the door in pages from two old bibles! And i bought this sweet wooden sign on ebay!


I am going to be papering the floor too, so watch out for that, and have begun to make a rag run from t-shirts, some of which have great memories!


This fun bunting was a gift, and it looks just perfect in my room. I usually make two-sided bunting myself, but again, have been very busy ... It has been battered by the wind hung on Bedouin tents on Weymouth beach, and has frayed beautifully in places! 


Its been a long time since i painted these walls white, over two years, but i will soon have one complete room to enjoy!


And here are two really awesome wedding favours, that look perfect on my sconces! along with some beeswax candles from Europe.


Here is my favourite corner, coming together! That's a bird who has been set free!

In this awesome drawing, Matty has included out friend Olwen, but the thing I like best is that Mary really IS wearing pink trousers with heart-patches on the knees!

Time for a run around!

It's a nice day, so off we go!



In the three-bears-house, the girls share out parts and tell each other what to say, to rein-act the story!



Then they run away to the next bridge, and wave and shout back!



Dancing, climbing and getting ready to play ring-a-roses!



and time for a snack too!

Here be Rainbows!

Here is another early birthday present from a dear friend, I managed to get this one early too, I plan on stringing it out this year I think! This rainbow bracelet has all kinds of charms that represent me and a bead for every colour of the rainbow. It is also just the right size, which makes me very happy as most adult jewellery it too big! Visit Goddess Jewels for one that suits you perfectly, too!



Bunting is something i have always wanted, and I was inspired to try making some this week as a complete break from soft sculpting, and life in general!


The result makes me very happy!
