Don't you love this lamp!

Neighbours had just moved in and were downsizing so I became the recipient of this sweet lamp!  Very different shade and little metal ball light pulls. By the way I DO dust! (the mirror on my dresser is very old and worn)!

An antique cutlery box finish

This is the before photo of this anitique box, grungy, old and dirty.  A little wash, sanding, paint, distressing, varnish and voila!  I love it!!

My Dyeing Attempt

Well, this is my first attempt at dyeing some 18 ct Aida for a Halloween piece.  I kinda like the way it turned out!

My finished watercolour of our precious Alexander

The first grandchild for us.  Such a lovely little boy.  Love you Alexander!

A New Outfit For Autumn

Just finished this little hat and coat in record time for our new Grandaughters Christening.  The hat was so fun to stitch and the little coat was a lot of time but I like the way it turned out!
