*~*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..

*~*MORE ANTIQUE SHOPPING TODAY*~*

Oh boy I am on a roll this week and need to get back to my day job and save some dosh LOL.. I had a another day out today really to catch up with a friend I haven't seen in a while and she lives right next to this great Antique Market.. A large warehouse kinda place with lots of booths just filled with the most amazing Vintage and Antique items.. These great French Antique linen monogrammed teacloths caught my eye.. Fantastic used condition and a great large size too...

I brought in one of my Sad Irons from outside and popped the linens in a wire basket with a sprig of Sweet Annie for a simple display in the kitchen..

Not sure how long they will stay in the basket coz they are a great size for making pillows LOL..

My home is filled with the wonderful smell from these Lillies.. Smells like Summer..

Last but not least I have a couple of my Attic Bears on Ebay this week too...

A great end of the week for me.. Hope it is the same for you too *~*blessings*~*

NEW YEAR, NEW IDEAS AND NEW MAKES

*~* NEW YEAR, NEW IDEAS, NEW MAKES*~*

I can hardly believe we will be leaving January so soon.. This month has already passed by so quickly but has brought lots of different weather for us in it's few short weeks.. We have had warm and barmy almost uncanny weather here and then the extreme fell over night blocking us in for a few days.. With the schools closed and hubby unable to get out for work.. Lucky for me I was on my days off so didn't have to try and travel.. So we spent some quality family time with outdoor fun sledging and building snowmen and this year snowdogs too LOL..

This also gave me some ME space to continue creating some more ATTIC BEARS.. I am so hooked on these fellows and love their vintage look..

This fellow is on ebay this week.. For more pics click on the side-bar link..

This big Bear watches over me whilst I stitch and will be coming up for sale soon.. She is so sweet with her vintage fabric ruff and early 1900 Antique baby shoes..

This sweet Panda is now off to a loving home..

I have so much planned for this year and can't wait to share.. I have been doing abit of decorating and re-juggling in my home too so will do some pics of that too as I finish the rooms.. Waiting for fabric for soft furnishings... I have gone for a more simple look with lots of naturals which seems to enhance my collections LOL well you know what I mean...

Call back soon and *~*blessings*~*..

*~* 12/12/12 LAST ONE FOR THIS YEAR*~*

A hectic week ahead what with my day job but last weekend saw me having a real tidy and clean out in my studio/workroom LOL.. My orders were all caught up and I thought I would prepare my creative space for the creations I have tucked in my head which I was planning for the New Year.. It sounds crazy but I kept going in there just to admire how tidy it was with all my scissors neatly stored and my fabrics sorted and nicely colour coordinated with my plushes stacked LOL.. On about the 4 visit I thought maybe I would prepare a project well once I had started I was there for the duration HEHE.. This fellow was born then grubbied and dried.. I finished him on the twelveth.. That makes him pretty special really.. So I thought I would share with you all.. He is available on ebay on a short 5 day listing

Click link on my sidebar to view..

I hope everyone has a fun filled weekend.. *~* Blessings*~*

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..
