Thursday is portrait day...

I proclaim every Thursday to be "Portrait Day."

I'll put up my favourite portrait of the week.

Fun.

In other news, I have dedicated this weekend to cleaning my house and crafting...

Cant wait to finish some of the many things that I have started!

Thursday, how I love thee!

Here is a portrait of me today, done by me.

My bestest friend in the universe and I do one of these little "Me's"every morning before we begin our work.

Its such a nice way to start your day!

New Stuff Makes Me a Happy Girl...

I've been a bit slack on the posting of late.

Not feeling very inspired.

Or am I too inspired?

I have so many ideas at the moment but I can't seem to put them into action. Or I put them into action and then stop before I'm finished...

In other news, I have recently caved in to two small impulse buys.

One is this delicious tea strainer, how could I say no?!

I also bought these lovelies, which I've been lusting after for a little while now:

Back to art!

I have FINALLY posted off my Art Exchange parcels! I posted one to the person who was in position number 1 and also one to my lovely friend Miss Kate, who was starting to loose faith in the art & craft community (she hadn't received much)... I hope they both like the stuff I sent. I'd love to post the photos but I know they wouldn't have received them as yet... Better not spoil the surprise.

I have started to receive some lovely presents from Art Exchange!

The first thing I got was this felt brooch from Donna at Felt Divine. I can't get a link to her work but this is the brooch I got from her:

I can't wait for it to get colder so I can put this on a coat...

The next pressie I got was from Sarah at Gifts Created. I LOVE it.

If I'm not mistaken, I think I met Sarah at Stitches & Craft when I went last year. I am also in love with her mushrooms!!!

I absolutely love him. His name is Albert and he is going to sit on my favourite bookshelf.

And the last fabulous gift I've received is from Kim Wallace.

I can't tell you how pretty these are.

I might just have to buy myself a sage green bowl to boot!

Well, that'll be all for now.

Till next time, I'm off to have a cup of tea and enjoy my new pretties!

Brighten up my Wednesdy!

It's raining.
It's getting darker earlier.
It's miserable!

Enter the need for something lovely to lift my mood.
What could be better than a lovely little posey of pinky purple roses?


Hope your day wasn't too much of a dreary one!
