Am i going to frilly?....

What gorgeous days we have been having, with the hint of a storm in the afternoon and even some afternoons a refreshing shower to cool the warm days. I just love spring. Today i finished covering this umbrella with a new frilly design, just abit different. Thats one down and 3 more to cover this week. The eco expo has come around fast and i have been abit relaxed laterly..

This one is sideways so sorry about that..

These are just acouple of pictures of some spring flowers in my garden. This one is called teacup and saucers. I so love these they come in pinks to.

This is a window box with some lovely little pansys, they are crossed with a viola, so they are small dainty flowers. The photo below has a hidden beauty watching over the growing little angel faced pansy's.

This should have been at the top with the other umbrella photos.

Its made in such a lovely crisp white fabric. I think this design will look charming in a floral as well.

Until next time take care.

A new online store

Yesterday was a great day at the fair. It was raining and pouring outside but we set up in the local hall. Ive taken some photos of my stall. It wasnt great
lighting inside as it was overcast.

And I have just opened my new online store through madeit, the link is on my sidebar. I think i will shut down my ebay store soon as i get more time. I will however add some more items to my new store tomorrow.

Morning shades...

Early morning shots of my new umbrellas, I thought the photos would have come out alittle better than these. Think i need a new camera..

This one is my favourite one of all. I loved the colour combination..

So much to do with so little time, Enjoy your day.

New from old...

Have you had pieces of furniture that you just didnt like anymore, and thought it was time for them to find a new home? Well thats how  this cupboard started  out. The top part a display cabinet, just under eye level height. It was stained a dark brown and had queen ann legs. Loved it when I was into dark wood furniture, but laterly i have had enough of it and cleaned it up to sell. Then it hit me I need a new cupboard for my craft goods. The bottom part is my computer storage cupboard. A bit of paint and sometime down the track some new handles and the end result speaks for itself. I love it and to think it was on its way out the door. The other pictures are of a plant stand i found at the local recycle shop. I havent done anything to it except add my gorgeous old birdcage ontop of it. I have some more umbrellas complete and will share them with you tomorrow. I am linking  up with Cindy, from My romantic home tonight. Till then, have a wonderful evening or day were ever you may be.

                                                                  Take care

New umbrella and spring flowers

This is my latest umbrella i made and it is sold. In the coming weeks i will be making several more and some other designs which i will share. I wish i could make this my full time job, im juggling this contract work for another company{which pays weekly} and kids etc etc... Ahhh the joys of life.

I love these colour combo"s at the moment. I have been making alot of white cushions curtains etc but i still find myself drawn to the good old girlie pink.

These are some pictures of my garden in flower at the moment. I love this time of the year the birth of my garden, watching each new bud burst into life, It make me feel alive. My garden is only 5 years old i cant wait for it to be really mature.

This is were my kids sand pit used to be. I planted the wisteria in the middle of it to provide some shade down the track but found them hardly using it so away it went, so my idea is to turn it into a wisteria tree.

Till next time, Take care and have a lovely weekend.

I"m off to an eco expo...

He;;o all. Its been a few weeks since my last post. These are some older photos of a past project.
Place mats with cutlery holder.

I was asked recently if i would be interested in holding a stall in an eco expo to display my creations. Mainly my umbrellas, but i will make a few other things to fill in the space. I am so excited my first show. I have so many ideas screaming at me I just dont no were to start. Its the 7th of november which really isnt to much time to get things prepared. My sons school is the venue. They had there first last year and it attracted just over 80 stalls this year it will be advertised on tv and will bring in alot more.

I love making everything by hand. I would really love to create things down the track that doesnt involve much sewing as i have been sewing now for over 22 years in industrial work and my hands are starting to really feel it.

Anyways, as i create i will show you all, until next time,
Take care Tina.
