Spring is in the air...

Spring is just around the corner,  my blossoms buds are swelling with excitement its almost time for the prettiest time of the year when the plants come alive. So i thought i would share some spring festivities with you. I love the look of peonies i have planted one and hopefully it will surprize me with all its beauty this season.

Have a wonderful day....

My new bling..

I wonted to try my hand at making rosettes, so i gave it a go and made several of them. There not only easy to make but look good to. So i made this necklace out of some and im going to  make acouple more projects with the rest, those i will share soon.

I added this beaded drop to complete the look.

I think i made the bead chain alittle long, Im going to take some beads off to short'n it and then i think it will sit up higher and look nicer. The possibilitys are endless with these rosettes.

We are going to start our extention to our place very soon, I cant wait its been along time coming. We live in a double shed that has an extra extention on the front now were going to add to the sides to complete it and finally make it into a cottage home. The process im sure will be long but worth it in the end then i can share with you the results of my new home.

Cheers tina

P.S Ive made the pictures alittle to big if you click on them you will get to see the whole thing.

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.
