My creative space finally ...

Thanks so much for your kind and thoughtful messages, I am taking little steps forward and hopefully no more backward for a little while :)



Today a sneak peak into my creative space with some pretty stitches to finish off a project for the BIDM that took longer than planned with all these illness...A little red beret in its soapy bath waiting for me to make ze "erreur fatale"!I cut the opening way to big for her little head and have to make another one ! Oh c'est la vie!


For more sneak peaks and inspiration, you can visit here:)

Just not fair...isn'it!

Just when it is that time of the year when you need to become a super mum, super wife, super business person,super teacher helper, super roster mum for the dance concert, super crafter etc...that you get sick!

Sounds familiar?

Well the good news is I can now walk comfortably away from the tissue box or the drink bottle (in prevention of a major coughing fit!) so I am getting better:)

So one step at the time, will make my way to all those things that need my attention!

But one particular thing from Thea and Sami arrived yesterday in my mail box... and THAT put a smile on my face!

they are absolutely gorgeous and feed my passion for linen perfectly, even got some new ideas you can explore here with them!

Now waiting for some time to "squish it in" project time:)

New white wall...

Ahhh (with a big smile), finally got one wall rendered and painted...job harder than planned but we achieved it!

So before we installed our newly shared "office" I had to photograph an order to be sent...and much prefers the white background :)

Here is a pretty red beret that will be posted today and did not have the happy white background...

So busy, busy, counting down days to the next market,making more stock, the Dance concert and many rehearsals, the end of this bad cold,and hopefully more reno done amongst all that:)

PS: Still plenty of time to enter my giveaway:)
