*~*Welcome May*~*

As we are at the begining of May hopefully which is going to bring some sunny days I have lots on my drawing board.. I am busy with goodies, Bears and such for the summer fairs ahead.. I am joined with my daughter this year and our different styles seem to match perfectly.. She is very much into the vintage look while I still steer more to the simple/primitive well worn look style.. So far we have had great success in our selling and lots of orders are coming in which is a great moral boost.. I have been designing some more "Most Treasured" items which are proving very popular as they seem to fit into any kind of decor..

I have some home decor plans too and I will be updating my bathroom and doing a dining room make-over along with my bedroom.. As you all know I do work a full-time day job so will have to juggle my time slightly to fit all I have planned in.. I will be sharing home pics soon so pop back frequently..

I will leave you with some pics of my latest creations these still need a few finishing touches that need added..

Thank you for stopping by *~*blessings*~*

*~*NEW ATTIC BEAR DESIGNS*~*

I have been spending lots of my free time at my design table.. I knew what I wanted to create and what fabrics I wanted to use but pulling it all together takes a bit of time.. This is my latest "MOST TREASURED " series from ATTIC BEARS.. They are very much in the prim style and look so old and loved.. They have been popular here in the U.K and I have also had an offer to supply a shop with my Attic Bears so exciting times ahead I think..

*~*Blessings*~*

A couple of make overs and some Easter decor

*~*SPRING MAKEOVERS AND EASTER DECOR*~*

Amazingly we had a couple of days with bright sunshine in between the snow showers.. It makes you feel so good and also makes you take a good look around your home..I have had a few ideas over the past month or so that were just waiting to be put to work.. With my new Farmhouse Romantic Prairie look I have been wanting to lighten and brighten some of my furniture too.. I went out to the home decor shop and bought the paint firstly for the stairs to my craft room.. I had seen the most perfect thing on pinterest and set to work.. It only took me a few evenings to acheive the look I wanted.. Now it is a total pleasure to walk up those stairs to my craft room to create..It is difficult to get a good pic as these stairs are quite tight..

Next I moved to the kitchen.. The off white paint just goes perfect with the pale wooden top and has made such a difference to my kitchen..I resisted the temptation to rub it back on the corners and just love it.. So simple..

Then it was on to the dining room.. This cupboard holds lots of stuff for the dining room and is the perfect place for a great display.. It was all just wood to start with and seemed to disapear into the wooden floor now it seems to pop.. Added some new handles too..

 

I have been wanting to bring out some Spring Easter decor and firstly purchased some wooden eggs which I painted in pastel colours then sanded and waxed them which gives them a worn vintage look..They look great in an old sieve..

Love this little guy..

A simple display on my kitchen window with a ceramic bunny..

Love these sweet vintage rabbit molds too.. Perfect on my kitchen bench..

Finally my simple tree with wax eggs and wax bunny..

Just wanted to share these ATTIC BEARS.. Both on ebay this week..

Click the link on my sidebar for more pics..

Thank you for popping by and love to hear your comments too..

Hope you have enjoyed my makeovers and Easter pics..

NEW ATTIC BEARS SERIES

*NEW ATTIC BEARS SERIES*

My oh my where is the time going.. It is a true saying when they say it waits for no man.. The leaves have changed colour and now litter my garden everything is dying back to sleep throught the long winter and this morning Jack Frost had payed a visit.. A slight mist hanging in the air and everything glistening with frost.. Simply beautiful.. Life here is running smoothly and the boys have settled back into school.. My youngest is now at big school so a milestone there for both of us LOL..

I have not been idle these past few weeks and have been busy as ever creating my prims and sending them on their way to far off places around the world.. I was asked to do some exclusive bears for a customer which was such fun and it got me to thinking about doing a series of prim bears so *ATTIC BEARS* was born.. After all I do make them in the attic of my home in my workroom and most attics are real grubby places.. Well mine used to be anyway..

I wanted to give them a real look of age and a played with look with lots of mends and wear.. I am having so much fun with these using things from the past to help add character.. Like vintage baby boots and old buttons and keys.. I am sharing these 2 today with you and they are available on ebay later today.. Pop along and check out their pics..

It seems so long since it did a giveaway and I love doing them so needles and scissors are at the ready and I am working on it now.. I will share that this weekend.. Hope everyone has a fun week and *~*Blessings*~* to all..
