Random Post!!!!

Haven’t been on for a while........been a VERY bad blogger. As soon as am back I'll be gone again...............on holiday!!!!!!! But when I'm back lots of posts and pictures will follow.

For now my DD has something to advertise.

Hi,

I'm cottage-homes daughter. I am working with sure girl at the moment. I want to say how good I find it. It smells sooooooooooooo nice and fresh and I trust Sure Girl to give me hours of protection. Its definitely a good buy with it being a bag size bottle.

I thinks thats all I have to say

Happy (belated) Easter!!!

Ive been such a busy bee lately, time is running away from me!

Ive been super crafty, making more shabby chic bird house and after a long break, Ive decided to make dolls again.

The first little doll I ever made was a rag doll when I was about 13. He....(yes a he-doll!!) was made totally from old clothes all handstitched...........sadly we were parted, God knows where he is now.... anyway....I'm rambling....so I made my own pattern, just a simple 5 part one (head/body, 2 arms, 2 legs).

Ive really enjoyed dressing her up, I felt like a child again, doing her hair, dressing her up.

Ive used vintage fabric, lace, ribbons etc. Its a really great way to use up all those little bits that you cant bear to throw away but are too small to do anything with!

Ive decided to give Ebay another try and she is listed there at the moment.......though Im going to find it hard to part with her!!

Take care

One of those weeks...but a gorgeous swap!

Phew........Its been one of those weeks where you dont even get time to catch your breath before you have go and do something else!!
I did manage to go and see "Confessions of a shopaholic", Ive read the book which I enjoyed throughly and the film didint disappoint either, I imagine we have all been in the same situation though mine is CK rather than clothes!!!!




I recieved a wonderful swap gift from Paula, we are part of a wonderful community of Shabby-Chicers at the Shabby Chic Cafe.
Paula is soooo talented as you will see from the beautiful hand painted goodies I got.
Thank you so much Paula, you really brightened up my week!!!
