Bella's favourite spot!

Bella's New favourite spot to sit is on the window sill watching everyone go by!

She obviously feels at home there, she slept for 2 hours! Bless her!

This little lady has kept me busy!

I can't believe how much Bella has grown! This is her Christmas morning after she opened her pressies! She loves her new 'big girl' bed, (she hardly fits into the first one now!)

Meet Bella!

This is Bella, our new puppy, she is adorable!

Birthdays come with lots of paper and packaging!

Birthdays come with lovely gifts, (I was a very spoilt girl!) and lots of paper and packaging!

Armed with lots of corigated card, boxes, backing card, tissue and wrapping paper, I decided to use some of it (it will all get used eventually!) 

Backing card and corigated came as packaging from this, Kath Kidston set.

This is what I made from it!

Backing paper, Aquatone paint pencils, bird, fussy cut from old book!

And another one using more of the same things.

And a Winter card!

I like to make these while sitting in front of the tv as they don't need tons of things to make them!

Thanks for looking!

Halloween!

My Halloween tray.

I painted an MDF tray black, put paper on the inside bottom from Graphic 45, made a fabric pumpkin and decorated it with anything Halloweeny I had, added crocs from M&S and waited for the kids to arrive!

A close up of my pumpkin, I made this from a circle of cotton fabric which I sprayed orange after, added a plaster twig (made from my own mold), a leaf and a skull stick pin!

A fun project to make! 

Thanks for looking!

A little visitor!

I was feeding the fish this morning and I heard a beautiful song coming from the bottom of my garden, it was so loud, I could hear it above all other noises and just had to investigate because I knew who it was! As I reached my secret garden I looked up and saw our little Robin at the top of the tree! It sang for a good 5 minutes unfortunately I didn't have my iPad with me or I would have videoed his beautiful song. I wasn't going to disturb him by going back to fetch it then so I waited until the song ended then went and got bird food and iPad, then waited until he came back, which he did within seconds of my return!

It is just ashame that you can't get a close up on an iPad but never mind!

Ornamental gourds!

Some ornamental gourds from the allotment! I am going to dry them and decorate them hopefully! This was the first time we had tried to grow these so it was a lovely suprise to see so many and lots of different ones too!

And some smaller ones!
