The Paris Princess...

I have started on making some new designs for tote bags and cushion covers and some other treasures i will share soon... Its such a competative market out there and trying to come up with new ideas is always a challenge. I love the french look and the shabby chic look and thought a way to showcase them both in the one item. What do you think?

I will keep this one as a sample as it has some inperfections. Its a generous sized tote that is fully lined in gorgeous pink damask with a very pale hint of old gold. It also has a pocket inside for keys, phone etc.

I will be linking up with Cindy from My Romantic Home

The Feminine Home,, I Won....

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..

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'''
