a pride of place

Hi Girls,

I just wanted to share a few pics of something new I have made...

I felt a little flat this week so I wanted to do something for myself.. I go NUTS (literally) if

I can't create and I havent had much time lately

wonderful thing is I didnt have to look far for inspiration... my baby girl.. Lily

She'll be 2 soon (in May) everyday is a blessing to have her...

SOOOO I looked for what I could find.....Dave and I have HEAPS

and I mean HEAPS of brass framed pieces, we had some in the cafe bathroom...t

hey are now unfortuantely destroyed BUT we did have a truckload down

in my studio hoping that the day would come that they would be used... and it has!..

so I ripped out the picture of the one I didn't like a created this.

I know this kinda thing has been done before BUT this is my take on it...

and I love the colours of paper flowers at the moment... especially the Lillies...

I can't emrboider or do stumpwork either to save my life (I would sooo love to)..

SOOO this is my meshing of the two.... kinda hahahaha

For my little girl, 2 doves and roses for love,

pale pink for girliness

Pretty colours for her to enjoy

beads for bling (every girl has to have it)

And flowers that she is named after

this now hangs pride of place in our bedroom,

a reminder of the precious gift Dave and I have given each other

Thanks for taking the time to look and  I wish you all a beautiful weekend

Love n kisses

Hi  Everyone,

I hope your all having a great valentines day,

the rain is wearing thin on me know so... after heaps of coffee .....

I thought I would show you a few pics of my latest "creations"

I got some wall pockets (vases) a few weeks ago AND had no idea what to do with them,

so today... I went frou frou and nearly went nuts getting them "just right"

ANYWAY a few hours later and some fiddling here they are... the first one took the longest...

it may be a bit over the top BUT it suits my mood just know and I adore them!.. and guess what?.. HUBBY LOVES IT!!!! cool huh?

I love to know what you think so please leave me a comment

 BUT I have to feed the family so will post tommorrow

blame it on the camera.. or lack of caffeine

Hi Lovelies

Good news? I have a new product range coming out.. wholesale will be welcome...and I'm pretty excited about it... what started as a mistake has become a surprise!

a problem? I CAN'T TAKE PHOTOS THAT ARE GOOD ENOUGH!!!(they aren't working out the way I want).. ok this is the part where I blame the camera *beeeppppppp*..... GAHHHHHH!!!!!!

The Solution? have a cuppa, (need a coffee) breath deeply and focus.. *currently channeling Shirley Maclaine* and then try again!!!!

HOPEFULLY will be back soon with a pic and description...

*mutters under breath* blasted camera... settings... light... accessories...fussy lady(das me) and I mean to say biatch...(sorry for swearing) but wont cause im trying to go easy on myself hahaha.....

Peace and serenity

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to show you what I have been doing around the house.. I have gone nuts buying cheap vintage drapes and curtains... my challenge to do things on a budget continues and I am pleased with the results thus far!!!!

I got a vintage lamp and drapes for our bedroom ... the stool is the one I restored and a few replaced bits and pieces and you have the results in these pics (sorry no before pics didnt think to take em DOH!!)

Add a vintage floral hat and a dress....

I have also just filled up a few vases with some vintage flowers and I love the effect... I cant wait to start to repaint and freshen the place up

I have gone mad cleaning and reoganising and decluttering.... its been great and well the place feels a hell of alot better!! you can now see our wonderful items and the takcy things we still love but dont fit in have been loving restored and might make an appearance elsewhere one day!

Hope you like the photos, I have to get moving as there is a high tea at Hume Cottage on Saturday and Im playing with things to take there... hope I get them done, but we are slowly getting there!! woo hoooo

til next time

Love and kisses

Vic
