So sweet!

When I painted that cute little dolls cot last week,(in my last post), I knew it would make some little people happy...


But it made them really happy, and they made me a gift to say thankyou!
How sweet, and some lovely bubble bath too!


It is a good feeling to make so many children happy all at once, look at the mums in the making!


On the home front....
I have a whole weekend to try and catchup on some projects, but Im not promising anything, we'll see...
Have a great weekend everyone!

The little things...

I thought if I did some cleaning in my creative space, it may help to give my 'junkers block' the boot!!
These gorgeous liliums are a welcome addition, a gift from Sue last weekend.


I did manage to get five minutes to rummage through some linens in an op shop close to work, and found these sweet vintage tablecloths.
I organised and filed paperwork, ready for the end of this financial year.
I displayed more of my collection of hats around, yeh, I have a few...



and I packed up a pile of curtains and fabrics I no longer need, or have the inclination to sell.
Off to my local charity shop they go!
I can now see the floor, and my head feels a bit clearer. The clouds are clearing, and I feel some projects in the works.
My eldest daughter works in a preschool, and when she brought home an old dolls cot in need of some tlc, how could I resist?
Though when I saw it, I loved it as is, but kids dont see the charm in chippy, peely paint.


So I painted it in pink and blue, and the palest green around the top.

I had a couple of cupcake teatowels I sewed together to make a little bed, little being the operative word! It was a bit short, but I dont think the kids minded.I would have liked to have made a pillow and blanket, but ran out of time.

 Apparently it was a hit, and that is all that matters!

Thankyou to all of you for caring and understanding my 'mood' at the moment.

Between work, friends needs, family needs, and general day to day , I think my 'time-out' ticket was long overdue.
Dont worry, Ive still been able to browse your blogs, they are my therapy you know!
