Bonfire Night - Birthday Girl

Oh my, Henrietta is 7 today.  It doesnt seem 2 minutes since I brought her home from the hospital.  She is having a party at home on Saturday.  Being a 'crafty' mum I made her banner and some beautful butterflies to hang from the ceiling - sorry about the out of focus pics!

Happy Birthday Gorgeous Girlie

Open For Business

My Etsy shop is now OPEN.  After nearly 2 weeks I have finally finished my painting.  Well nearly - the lounge window needs a coat of paint, but I do not need the scaffolding for this little job, so this can be done anytime.  I will be glad to get back to my sewing box and pile of felt - I have so many ideas, but may have left them alittle too late for Christmas - we will have to see how fast I can sew.

Anyone wanting wholesale orders/prices, please let me know.

Light-End-Tunnel

Finally I can see it - the light at the end of the tunnel.  Phew! its been a long hard slog.  My Etsy shop has been closed way longer than I ever thought, but I am hoping , fingers crossed it will be re-opened tomorrow.

Due to the rather nasty weather we have been having in the UK, painting has had to be put on hold.  I now only have the porch to paint though and I am done - thank goodness for that.

This by the way is not my porch, but oh how I would love it if it was - a lottery win would indeed be spent on a porch just like this - my dream

Photo Shoot

My kids had a professional photo shoot during the school holidays, here are a few of the gorgeous photographs Karen took - thank you Karen, you are quite simply brilliant at what you do (Black-Sheep Photography - Yorkshire).

This & That

Raining again this morning, so no painting, although it was nice to have a break from being up the scaffolding and not being able to feel your fingers cos you are so cold.  Instead cleaned out Tinkerbell (Henrietta's hamster), then started on the washing/drying/ironing.

Hopefully I will be able to open my Etsy shop in the next few days, here's a photo of my animal cracker cookies which will be available when the shop re-opens.

Felt Cake Order

Painting is still ongoing, and although I closed my Etsy shop down for a few days I forgot to close my MISI shop.  It was MISI's 1st Birthday the other day, and guess who's photo was on the front page of their special email, mine - thank you for that MISI.  I had an order to complete for a lady in France, were posted this morning from my lovely little village post office - these are the cakes I sent out.

Ribbons In A Tangle

Sorting through my ribbon box last night, I hadnt realised how messy it had become - another thing to add to my never ending list of 'things to do'.  Henrietta's invites were finished off last night, all were handed out to school friends this morning - she was so excited.  Birthday parties - dont you just love em!
