Got my grandmas easel out and my paints and sat out in the gorgeous sunshine today and painted a picture inspired from a friends photo. What do you think? Ok yep I'll need to brighten up the seagulls but other than that, I actually do love it!

Today I finally got to do something I've imagined when I got these candle lanterns, yes I need more greenery, but all up I think they turned out pretty... plus need batteries for the candles.. if you like something like this on your table or hall stand, pop me a message here or on my personal page and i will see what I can do.
These are artificial flowers and leaves, but they could be real if requested. Prices will range on size and flowers.

Hello my beautiful followers,
Happy New Year

I've been very quiet over the last few months, but I promise I'm coming back.

The last few months I've been thinking of new projects to emerge myself into.. but to start these new projects, I really need to get my crafting space reorganised to a working space. At the moment it's just full of everything and all mixed up.

I have new shelves coming soon to get things off the floor and off top of each other.. I'm getting rid of my desk and swapping for a big table.
So this is still a work in progress so hopefully I'll have it ready mid February.
In the mean time
I want to start collecting items for these new projects and of cause I'll need space to store them.. which would probably be the shed for now.. and yes a lot of the things in the room could be stored in the shed, which I'll get around doing eventually..
My gardening has been my go to project across the holidays, some plants are nearly ready to sell.

I'll share a list of items I'm looking for in another post,..
Watch this space for more...

From a floppy Piggy to sitting up on her own again, I was able to restore this beloved Piggy after 10 years of huggles from her owner.
Piggy was a great patient and is ready to go home for the rest of her recovery.

I am sorry I've been very quiet over the last few months, with personal problems along with other things, I haven't been able to do a lot of crafts.
