making time for making :).......

          

not much going on here at the moment...just catching up with things

shed progress has stopped for a while due to a sore tooth... meaning my very small budget was used up on painful dentistry....ouch!

but I am working on getting it finished before the end of the month and then I can move in...yay

(I'll never be seen again!!!!)

so having a bit of time to myself again...means making again and that makes me very happy indeed...

........some new little garlands for the shop

the cogs are turning in my tiny mind...new ideas...projects....more time...more time :)

Hope you're having a good week...

She is called Camille and she lives in a little matchbox with her cuckoo clock :-)

She sits on my desk and every now and then I take her out and marvel at her sweetness.....

Hope you're having a good week, Happy Thursday

Sweet....sweets.....

Sometimes a peanut butter sandwich just doesn't cut it......

Today what was needed was......sugary....colour.....and cute, I can't believe this was my lunch...well actually I can 'cos as Mr H says I have the same taste in sweets as a three year old child......"whats wrong with that, I ask????"

I am now in full on Easter mode....

Etsy V Folksy and some Birds

Where did July go?? Well I know it's still here but not for long, next it will be august,septemb....christmas!!!!!! So as the summer holiday approaches and my time alone disappears for a while, not much sewing or painting or even computer time is planned for the next few weeks, it made perfect sense to go and open another online emporium of the baggy,flowery vintage kind???!!! hmmm not sure what I was thinking but it felt like the right thing to do.After all the huffing and puffing about dollars and Americanism's on etsy (not from me I might add but people unfamiliar with the world of etsy)I figured it would be worth trying an English site.The advantage being ££££'s and also a much smaller site so have a more visible presence. The 'plan' is to use Folksy for smaller items and maybe more commercial stuff but concentrate on etsy because I prefer it and because I am obsessed with all things American!



On to TEAWAGON news, well the first of our up cycled goodies are almost complete and we hope everyone will love them as much as we do x x



P.S I've been at it again with the tasteless stuff! see above..they were almost banned from the washing line in case anyone saw them!! I mean really they are pure gold!!!!

Too busy

No time for posting last week, one TW gal has been busy rearranging house guests and making chicken houses and the other has had sports days,violin concerts and lots of bag making. We are thinking that our Teawagon days will be limited over the next 5 weeks as I will have 2 small people and a little dog in tow,but we are are hopeful that we will be able to board the wagon every now and then (if only for my own sanity!!!) So we have painted some lovely birds and other items and if I'd had more time I would have shown the photos (next post when I have time to upload them)
