Banner...

I finished my new blog banner, which is a 'for now'
 untill I can draw what is in my head!
I am pleased with the simplicity of the picture...
and I am in love with Mr. Fox in his pirate hat :3

Henrietta & Hans...

My first Doll in the shop, Henrietta the Oak Sprite and her hedgehog Hans, were a joy to make and I am proud to be showing them off to you all!


I love how sweet and calm Henrietta's face is, caring and thoughtful, she loves and heals all Oaks in need with the help of little Hans' snuffles and nose kisses.


Her dress is made from fabric she has gathered and pieced together with her matching hair wrap and satchel to carry Hans in when he is weary.


She knitted Hans' little scarf to keep him from catching chill after a very cold Winter and he adores it, loves and preens it to make sure it is well kept.


Now that our nieghbours Oak Tree is happy and bearing full bright green leaves, Henrietta feels it is time to move on but is not entirely sure where to yet, maybe you could help her make a decision? ;o)

New Items

Some double hoops...

Summer sun



 Spring growth


I felt guilty last night when I realised I hadn't put up any new items in my store last night, so before I do the same again to day, here are a couple of things that I think are pretty shiny :o)


Pink and Pearl



Why yes, this heart does have a key :p

New Items...


Ripe Oranges fresh for picking



Plum blossoms blooming



Lare harvest.



I loved making hoop hook style of earrings and I find them (the style, not the earrings for sale) very comfortable to wear, here is hoping I'm not the only one! ;o)

I'm Home!

My family and I have moved house, made an attept at unpacking, and re-done our kitchen to suit our needs. I am extremely happy living in a house that is ours. No more rent going towards some-one elses home loan, no more having to consult every time you would like to make an improvement to the property (like when all the tiles started to fall off the walls in the heat of summer a few years back!) and no more landlords scowling at my family of another species :D

I have been putting off making this post because I want ed to show of where I am living, but due to the cameras lack of battery power and the rain there are no photos to show off.
Here are some of the new items I have listed in my store to tide one over.


Here is some pirate lovin'




 A cool summer evening



A night swim with a Mermaid



and an autumn wheat field.

Want & Need...


I have been wanting to make some-thing like this for my-self 
with a large tea cup but I think I am loving that this way you 
can look through the glass to see where your fingers are fumbling :3

I am in love with who ever made this...

Dear Albert Doll...


A gorgeous pillow doll and her book on the theory of relativity by KarKar Style on Etsy :3
I have been putting off buying printable fabric for around a year now, I don't know why, maybe I feel poor every time I go to order it! What ever the reasons I am determined to find some now and make the small creatures pottering about in my head...they are mostly hedgehogs XP

Getting On With Things...

I have been putting off making a post until I found the leaflet from my Grandfathers funeral (which has been dubbed "The Pamphlet of The Dead" Yes, yes, I am very tasteful.)
It had the text and photo from what I thought was his passport but turns out to be some kind of Visa, he moved to Australia from Italy when he was about 23, he always knew he wanted to work with trains and never told any-one when he was in extreme pain, mental or physical.
My gift to him at his funeral was a little make-up, no nail polish and a full length skirt, I would like to think that I am the Lady that he always thought I was, but with my own special modern spin ;o)


A fortnight after we suffered his loss I had two new wonderful people come into my life and they introduced me to Raverly. Among the projects I have going on at the moment, I have started to make this scarf for my-self. It is very rare that I want to make clothing just for me, I look forward to completing this with added hood so I will have a little Scoodie all of my own!



Good night my lovelies ^_^

Veggie Pancakes...

My brother's lady makes delicious food for breakfast and
I looooove pancakes so I made some-thing that she had made
up a few weeks ago and had ready for me when I woke up!

Mmmm...delicous :3


1 1/2 cups S/R Flour
3 cups Milk
2 Eggs
Pinch of Salt

Veggies I used today:
Grated Carrot
Grated Zucchini
Finely chopped Brocolini
Corn

For Vegan Pancakes swap the Milk
and Eggs for Soy Milk and Veggie Oil

New Item...

Thistle Faery

Mayhap there be a little thistle faery near by?
Shaking her head in the winter skies...
Mayhap she be in need of new finger on glove?
Perhaps she be searching for love...
Mayhap my hands will hold her dear?
Then she stops quaking from her fear.



Also I have been listening to Mumford and Sons a lot lately and I was thinking about this song while trying to take photos in the Winter sunlight :3


'Thistle and Weeds'

Spare me your judgements and spare me your dreams,
Cause recently mine have been tearing my seams,
I sit alone in this winter clarity which clouds my mind,
Alone in the wind and the rain you left me,
It's getting dark darling, too dark to see,
And I'm on my knees, and your faith in shreds, it seems.

Corrupted by the simple sniff of riches blown,
I know you have felt much more love than you've shown,
And I'm on my knees and the water creeps to my chest.

But plant your hope with good seeds,
Don't cover yourself with thistle and weeds,
Rain down, rain down on me,
Look over your hills and be still,
The sky above us shoots to kill,
Rain down, rain down on me.

But I will hold on
I will hold on hope

I begged you to hear me, there's more than flesh and bones,
Let the dead bury their dead, they will come out in droves,
But take the spade from my hands and fill in the holes, you've made.

But plant your hope with good seeds,
Don't cover yourself with thistle and weeds,
Rain down, rain down on me.


Have a lovely evening!

Rug up tight all...

It's that kind of day!



I don't remember where I found this image, I think maybe I
saved it so I could make a copy the super cosy looking jumper.

Pretty sure this is a post to make me feel like I am doing some-thing when
all I can do is sit in front of the fire with a heavy jacket and try to knit ;o)

Kittens!

About 4 months ago now we took in a stray cat that a friend had been watching over and she was pregnant with three lovely wee kittens, two boys and a girl, this is them once all three had been born (one is a day younger than the other two).


Here they are taking their first steps!
Toby is helping ;o)



After a while it was obvious that Toby didn't understand how gentle you had to be with them, so they were moved into the spare bedroom where this awesomely horrid bed spread was located.
They had been playing under the bed and were so sleepy :3



This is back in the lounge room when they were feeling
more adventurous and wanted to be near the fire.



Yesterday the first of them was homed with a friend and named Sherlock.
We spent the afternoon at her house playing with him while he got used to his new surroundings, there was much batting at dust in the sun light, hiding behind chairs and loud purring from pats.

Have a lovely life little one ;3

New Photo's...
