My shabby bedroom..

I am thinking of changing my room to white with just hints of pink when we finish renovating. But at the moment I am happy with it. When hubby is done with the renovations we will have a slightly larger space to work with. I am so looking forward to these changes we so need.

 This is my newest pillow with a sweet l;ittle lady sleeping upon it..

A collage of some favourite papers of mine from k @ company scrapooking, and some other embellishments.

I made some repairs but a lot of the crystals smashed but this is what im left with, its still lovely.

All of them I purchased from a recycle center and added some beads and crystals on them to give them new life.

kitchen helpers

I have been putting my ideas into reality laterly. These are my new tea-towel and oven mit designs.
Some I am going to keep and 2 sets Im going to sell. I will look into setting up an etsy store tonight or maybe go back to Ebay. I think the etsy store will do well though.

This one below is going into my store.

As is this set. I love how it turned it.

 And this tea towel below will also make it to my store.

Table runner.

Firstly I just want to say my heart and prayers are with all of the  people who are about to go through a monsterous cyclone in northern queensland. You have taken such a battering laterly and you are such strong survivers, who will get through it. Were all thinking of you, keep safe.
I have been working on some new things for my store as well as home. This is one of two table runners i recently made. Im not sure if i will sell or keep this one, I love it.

Its made from a soft pale blue linen. with lace insert and creamy white muslin frill each end.

I have been busy this week painting my concrete floors in a soft duch egg blue. My dining table is packed to the hilton with craft objects so the photos had to be taken on the outside cafe table.

                                                              Enjoy your week'''

Happy New Year

Happy new Year to you all. Were did last year go? Well out with the old and in with the new. I have made some resolutions that i hope to stick by...will try very hard to at the very least. This year we plan to do some renovating to our little home. Well in fact it is a double car shed that we have extented on to to make up extra room and now we are going to enclose a side veranda to use as two extra rooms and add on an extention to the front that will be my new kitchen and lounge/dining. Fingers crossed it would be great to achieve this all this year.



On a different note, I am loving this dining room above, It belongs to a very talented Sue from foxglove spires gardens this is an old farm house that she has lovingly restored. It has recently gone up for sale. Oh how i wish it was mine..

This is part of the kitchen, so sweet..

These last two pictures are back to front. The last one again is foxglove spires nursery and little shops that are part of the property up for sale. Its so adorable. I had the pleasure of a visit there 3 years back and it was magnificent to say the least. The detail and hard work that went into this property is truly amazing. And of cause the other is a photo of our home that we have to work on at the moment. There it is in all its glory its not much now but someday this caterpillar will become a butterfly. The property and views make up for what little beauty our home possess right now, but its home and its what you make of it, and as the renovations go by i will share them with you.

                                          Till next time.Take care
