Home work!

A dear friend painted the wood work in my lounge (except for the door) with a fresh lick of white paint, something i had never found the time to get round to! And that gave me the impetus to do a pit of patchwork and collage-ing , covering the walls beside the fireplace with a fun selection of wallpapers torn from sample books ...

I have covered the door in pages from two old bibles! And i bought this sweet wooden sign on ebay!


I am going to be papering the floor too, so watch out for that, and have begun to make a rag run from t-shirts, some of which have great memories!


This fun bunting was a gift, and it looks just perfect in my room. I usually make two-sided bunting myself, but again, have been very busy ... It has been battered by the wind hung on Bedouin tents on Weymouth beach, and has frayed beautifully in places! 


Its been a long time since i painted these walls white, over two years, but i will soon have one complete room to enjoy!


And here are two really awesome wedding favours, that look perfect on my sconces! along with some beeswax candles from Europe.


Here is my favourite corner, coming together! That's a bird who has been set free!

Bunting Template ...

I fired up my scanner after hand drawing this pattern...


Do you like Bunting? and Cushions? How about foot-rubs and blessings? Stay tuned for a sweet little community project ...

I have been ...

Putting Skinny-chicken the doorstop to work at the back door ... the children love her so much, they stop and pick her up for a cuddle ... the door closes!



Running up some fresh and funky bunting from some genuine found-in-a-loft fabrics ...



Finally using up some old press-studs on Jackets for Edward Tulanes! Wont get any more at the price, or that place! The half-pence coin was axed when I was around 12 years old. We collected them up in school for charity.



Covering a chair seat, and all of my small cushions with fresh new fabrics ... and then I covered a chair seat in fabric from a skirt that shrank in the wash!



Watched the Fuzzies admire the new colours!

pretty bunting ...

this is my second lot of bunting, made for a birthday BBQ ...



I got lost in my fabric stash, finding old friends, and exciting prints, along with some silk too. I chose a delicate rainbow of shades for this 15 flag length...

Here be Rainbows!

Here is another early birthday present from a dear friend, I managed to get this one early too, I plan on stringing it out this year I think! This rainbow bracelet has all kinds of charms that represent me and a bead for every colour of the rainbow. It is also just the right size, which makes me very happy as most adult jewellery it too big! Visit Goddess Jewels for one that suits you perfectly, too!



Bunting is something i have always wanted, and I was inspired to try making some this week as a complete break from soft sculpting, and life in general!


The result makes me very happy!
