A little romance...

Hello everyone, I hope you are having a wonderful week. I found these tea light holders at a bargain shop or $2 shop. I couldnt believe my eyes, I fell in love with the rose pattern instantly, and to make them look even better they had been reduced down to $1.95 each, They made a swift leap from shelf into my basket and now there my new love..

I just love them. We are receiving some much needed rain today, I just put a new lining into my redesigned pond yesterday so it was perfect timing. Have a nice evening.

Love tina...

New garden umbrella

Hello ladies, I hope you have all had an amazing week. Last weekend i went to mt tambourine for some garden therapy. I have wanted a double pink almond blossom tree for alittle while now and i found a bare root one that day im excited, I just hope its cool enough here for it to grow well.. My sister in-law and myself was talking to a lovely nursery lady up there and she was sharing her journey to monets gardens with us. Sounds amazing, every gardeners dream....One day... Anyway I have made another garden umbrella aweek ago that i need to put on my ebay store but thought i would share it with you first. Upon making it i realized its smaller then the others I have made, Still very sweet though..

I have been busy cleaning up a couple of boxes of old chandies and scounces. I plan on painting them white and adding crystals to some and beads and pearls on others, as i create i will share with you.

Have a great weekend and thanks for your comments i love to read them.

New treasures..

This one is going onto my ebay store. You could put bath salts, bubble bath, creams etc. It stands about 27cm tall.The bottles are originally wine decanters. I love there shape and thoght some laces etc would look perfect on them. I use a wine decanter in my kitchen for olive oil.

I have been doing alot of blog surfing laterly and there are so many amazing talented people out there. Ive added a few more of these beautiful sites to my list, Thanks to all my followers to and for your lovely comments. I love sharing my ideas and treasures with you. Have a great night.

Hugs tina...

Thank you mum...

Hello everyone, I hope all is well in your life today. A little time ago about a year and a half i bought a large amout of wool for mum to knit me a blanket throw for my bed.Well she has finished it in time for winter this year. I truly love it and no it will be treasured for many many years to come. And if that wasnt enough she bought me this geogeous throw for my bed to wow i have been spoilt.

She scolloped the edges and added crochet flowers onto it.

I have been spending a great deal of time outdoors enjoying winter gardening in preparation for spring.

I have relocated my lilac in the hopes it does better.

But I do have some smaller projects underway for my ebay store, I must say it is alittle quiet on that front. I think i need to do some markets to help promote my garden umbrellas. I want to make more, I have some many ideas with them but i dont wont to end up with a mountain of them sitting here.

I sure it will all come together soon for me.

Until next time have a lovely week ahead

Cheers Tina

Pink cushion obsession..

Im in love with ruffles at the moment and just had to make these collection of cushions for my bed or lounge? I added some sparkly rhinestones...in actuall fact they are costum jewelry rings that broke off and i just couldnt part with them I new they would come in use..

I love the this shade of pink. I couldnt stand the colour once. i was never a girly girl, but i seem to be now. Its funny how our taste change over the years. I hope everyone is having a great week. Mine has been alittle hectic. Im sad to report i no longer have that cute little puppy. I gave her away to some lovely friends. It was a tough decision as she was just starting to it in with all the family except my youngest who was spending alot of time annoying her and i was getting very inpatient with his none listening to mummy. She inturn started chewing on him and leaving alot of broken skin. I no with time and abit of patients she will be a beautiful dog. Will try again in another year or two when juniors alittle older.

Take care, enjoy your week.

Bed crown with a twist.

 

Hello everyone, Its so good to be back posting. I went into someones blog a few weeks back and my computer was attacked by viruses. We havent been able to Fix it and in fact still havent. I bought another mouse this morning and for some reason the computer has  been ok. So im making the most of my good fortune and posting while i can. In someones its been a blessing as i have been able to get some projects done.

First of all i got an old lamp shade and cut one side so i could open it up into a half circle.

Then it was covered in rose fabric and trim and I completed it with tiny rhinestones and lace trim.

The net is held in place with safety pins. This allows for it to be removed and washed.

Im sure there is  a neater way to do this. Its  one problem i need to work on. there ribbon glued to the back at the top and this holds the crown up and on the wall when its tyed in a knot or bow and hung on hooks. I love the end results. Enjoy your weekend everyone. Ive got some blogs to catch up with.
