Red Head!

For years I have wanted to be a 'Titian Red' (hair); Joe, my husband, persueded me to buy a hair colour in good old Superdrug (or Superdrunk, as my little boy once called it!)  I thought I might look like Rita Heyworth (!!!), iconic 1940s/50s starlet, but I fear I look more like Rita Fairclough, the newsagent lady from Coronation Street..........a girl can dream!

Boxed People...

I have been making something a bit different with these boxed folk; I had some of them at a Brighton Open house.  I like making them as each one is different and 'forms' as I go along; but it is proving quite hard to source boxes/frames at a reasonable cost.  I quite like the fact that they all long a bit dis-interested in life!!

I 'Heart' Yellow!

Have finally got most of our hallway decorated, with the usual, and expected amount of i) arguing, ii) children fiddling and iii) paint spill!!  Never mind.  Thought I'd show you the little piece of vintage fabric curtain/window treatment (hate that term), that has taken me five weeks to make....ta dah!  Oh yes, and it's yellow, my favourite 'home' colour of the moment.

Good Bye!

This pair are off to Australia, (photographed in one of my favourite chairs!)  It's amazing to think this parcel is travelling to the other side of the world, thanks Etsy!  What on earth did we do before internet shopping...

Is it wrong to fancy a face on a cushion.......??

Knick-knacks...

We have just had our boiler replaced; very dull I know, but what this (very expensive) exercise has done is left  us with a 'free wall'!!  I say 'us' but really I mean 'me', the plumber had barely got out the front door, dust not settled, than I was measuring and planning what could occupy the space.  More pictures, more hooky-type-things, randomly attached post cards using washi tape....  I have decided on a new home/display shelf for my ever expanding wooden 'knick-knacks' (as me, my mother and friend Mr S likes to call them).  Ah, the joy of it all, just off to the flea market as we speak......Have a good weekend!

Retro Fabric

I ordered some really great fabric from Summersville, on Etsy.  I have been looking for a cross-hatch type of fabric with a retro feel.  The quality is really good; I am going to order more colours.  I have a few things I am planning to use them for!

Green Spectacles!

Here are a couple of pictures of an order due to go out tomorrow, to the lovely Appendage in Brighton's North Lanes.  I can't seem to stop putting spectacles on my ladies!!  (Or mustaches on my men, come to that!)
