Washing day blues!

Dear family,

Please stop wearing clothes for me to wash!! Where and when do you wear all these clothes?  You know what washing turns into don't u?  IRONING!

Please wear disposable clothes made of paper and place one recycling bin daily!

Kind regards,

Mum xx

Homes wanted for Lonely tea cups . . .

Well today I pampered myself and spent a bit of me time in my 'Dorothy' room and gave some lonely vintage tea cups a make over.

My 'Dorothy' room is my new craft/spare room.

We moved in August from a little cosy two bed house in Dagenham to a four bed in the historic little village of Horndon on the Hill.  We are still decorating and unpacking but I have claimed the box room as my own and filled it with all things Wizard of Ozish, hence the name my family have lovingly given it.


I have taken to buying lonely vintage tea cups, amongst other things, at the boot sale with a view to giving them a bit of a make over with some of my stash and re-selling them at a village fayre in June.

Here are my latest boot sale finds!!

I think these little tea cups will find a good home now :) I used the silk flowers I bought at the bootie, vintage buttons and ribbon from my stash to give them a country cottage feel.

Before . . . .

. . .After

It's been a long time

Epic fail on blogging as per usual, but a blog,challenge for work has inspired me to try harder and get this going again! Get my creative mojo on!!

Latest crafty thing I have done was forced upon me when I couldn't get out to buy an anniversary card so I made it!  My efforts went down a storm and hubby felt especially loved by receiving a home made card he didn't even notice the lack of present! Lol

Here is the master piece in question!! Whoop whoop!  The ribbon is actually from my wedding cake and the butterfly from a table centre piece.
