Re-Furbished Vanity Stool

Remember the fluffy topped vanity stools from the 60's?

Well this one has had a facelift

looks very shabby chic.

It has been painted a high gloss white

seat is made with a new sturdy base, new foam, wadding and wool batting

covered in a durable gorgeous floral fabric.

 

A beautiful addition to any room for use or just for decoration.

Getting Creative

Well it has been a while since my last post but I thought I would inform everyone who reads this that I have started my own little Etsy store. It will list handmade items that I have made plus some vintage items. Will see how we go, but I do enjoy making these things so nothing to lose.
Below is one of my little whimsies, I will be making mobiles, pram/cot garlands,cushion covers and more?

Feel free to go and have a browse and ask any questions you might have..

Thanks for looking..

Have a great day xx

I have returned...

It seems like forever since I have posted on my blog. I have decided to give it another go, not sure how many people visit me but I am doing it for myself as a memory bank for my favourite things.

We recently went to Beautiful Tasmania and I have posted a few of my favourite pics I took, there are so many but will post a few here and there. I need to find more time to enjoy what I love which is taking photos, craft, cooking and trying to be as self sustainable as possible. I look at so many other peoples blogs and they are so inspiring, I get jealous of their life and abilities but I only have myself to blame for not giving it a go. I hope you do visit more often and enjoy what I have to offer and maybe even be inspired occasionally.

The picture on my blog header is another one I took, I just love it..I will try and be back at least once a week....no promises lol.

Have a great day. xx

More Creative Edge...

Here is my layout from Janine's class at Creative Edge. Sorry the picture isn't too great but it is so gloomy here today.

Now just my album to finish, I think that will take a while, need to get some pictures together.

The winners are up over at 'Puzzle Sketches' why not go check it out.

Creative Edge

Yesterday I attended Creative Edge which was held here in South Australia. It consisted of a full day of Scrapping fun with 3 classes held by Kate Mason, Janine Koczwara and Steph Devlin. I was very excited to do Kate Mason's class as I have admired her work for ages. I enjoyed all of them and learn alot of new techniques and use of products I haven't considered before such as glimmermist, mediums, napkins etc. I don't normally get messy and get so involved but I did enjoy it and hope to use these techniques more often.




Here is one layout I have completed which was from Steph's class. Very bright for me but I don't mind the result. We used glimmermist on the Prima trellis roses which was lots of fun, I do love the result of those.

I hope to get the other layout of Janine's and the gorgeous Prima album of Kate's finished real soon and will upload for you to see.
