The dream

by 2 Comments

When I was 13 I had a dream that I would grow up to marry a famous rock star, in fact, in this little fantasy land I was a famous singer too. I could hold my imaginary audience captivated for hours. I can see you smiling, I know I’m not the only one who had that hope! 20 years and a family later I am happily married, and although he may not be famous, he is a star to me and the children.
So, what now?
I still have many dreams but this time around they’re a little more realistic and some may even be achievable.
I dream of living in the country in a big old house with rambling and productive gardens. (There is no drought in my dream!)
I dream of knitting needles and embroidery before a quietly crackling wood stove.
I dream of running a successful design and craft business from home and being able to share my skills with others.
I dream of land where the children can run in freedom and safety.
I dream of many animals, vegetable gardens and quiet, simple and happily productive living.

Sounds idyllic, doesn’t it? Well, who says dreams can’t come true – I live in hope.

Thanks for reading.

P.S. Last week for the giveaway, it ends on Saturday. I’m so excited to see so many entrants, my brain is buzzing with ideas for a Christmas giveaway now.

SPRING!

by 2 Comments

I’m so glad that Spring is here, how I love it! The garden is blooming with many varieties, here is the first sparaxis.

My Mum used to call these “ pigface “, I don’t know the real name. We had many of these on the farm when I was a child.

Love the vibrant colours of the gazania.

The giveaway is still running, have you entered yet?

GIVEAWAY!

The time has come for little Milly to find a home. She has received plenty of attention in my shop but is tired of waiting for someone to buy her, she is ready to be loved and played with! She is, of course, an original design and made in the waldorf style with lovely cotton tricot, wool felt, mohair yarn and is stuffed with clean carded wool. Her clothes are removable. She is 8 inches tall.

If you would like to enter please:

1. Leave a comment and become a follower of this blog.

2. Blog about this giveaway with a link to this site. (I’ll be checking!)

Milly doesn’t mind travelling, so this giveaway is open to all earthly residents.
I’ll draw the winner in 2 weeks time.

One word of warning – Milly has button jointed arms and long hair, so is not really suitable for little ones.

Best of luck!!

MON!!
I know where to find you, I’ll send you a message.

This afternoon I’ve been embroidering tiny pieces of fabric to cover buttons with. I seem to have a bit of a thing for miniature things, the challenge of using tiny needles and the cuteness of the end product. Only problem is trying to get a decent photo with my camera, even editing only improves the detail a little. I’ll keep trying with that so you can see the little buttons – I love them!

GIVEAWAY!

This could be my last giveaway for a while, only 19 days until baby arrives!
This softie is a prototype, so she isn’t perfect and she’s a little unusual, but I’m sure someone out there would love her!
She is made from very soft flannel and stuffed with polyfil. She is 40 cm tall (15.5 inches) She is meant to be a cat, though my husband begs to differ.


Her button eyes make her unsuitable for a very young child. I’ll draw the winner on July 5th.

TO ENTER:
Please follow the link on the sidebar to my Etsy shop and tell me which item is your favourite and why.
Please feel free to link to this post on your blog (you can use the pictures of the softie too if you like)
This one is open to Australian Residents only please.
