This is a photo of the Prim Treasures swap goodies just before being placed in the express post envelope to be sent off somewhere!

I really hope whoever gets them loves them - I loved making them! Its been great fun and opening day is only 4 sleeps away. Can't wait - its like being a really big kid again!

No Boys Allowed...................

When I spotted this project in Country Threads recently I just had to make it for Becca. It was her birthday on the 23rd June so I took the opportunity and made it while she was still at school, so it could be a surprise. The buttons arrived from Giggle Buttons and they just set it off perfectly.

Of course then it needed a special home on the wall and I had thought about just using quilt ends but then had the bright idea of having a shelf as well as a hanger. Of course all good ideas come with glitches and I couldnt just go to Bunnings and buy a shelf. I ended up buying all the bits I needed (brackets, dressed pine and dowel) and had to put it all together. After a coat of whitewash and then varnish its now on the wall and I noticed that she has filled the pockets!

Look what happens when its cold............

Remember on my "to do" list I mentioned that I couldnt get any painting done because the weather was a bit too warm and humid and therefore the paint just didnt want to play the painting game.

Well now that it has cooled down (and I certainly hope that it doesnt stay this cold for too long) I have manged to get the dolls cot finished. Im really happy with how it turned out and Becca now has somewhere for some of her soft toys. Im sure when MIL sees it she will be fairly impressed with how it turned out (it used to be her dolls cot)
