Snow...rain....hail and sunshine !!!

What is going on with the weather today ? it has been so odd, i have been waiting to finish taking some more pictures of my goodies to go on the website and in my etsy shop, every time i got ready for a photo shoot it went all dark outside.................i eventually got to finish them later this afternoon...............hurrah ! heres a few samples of what will be hitting the shop this evening/tomorrow....................................

I also got sent some new pictures of our little girl matilda...........isn't she just a cutie !!

Just 4 wks till we get her now, and we are counting down the days !!

Good Friday

I am still working on posting on a more regular basis........................................... and failing !!!
I thought for now i would leave you with a few pictures from my new collection ( the light has been terrible this week and i have struggled to take any decent pictures of the bags ) I will hopefully be filling my etsy shop and my website sometime tomorrow, fingers crossed i get a bit of sunshine sometime today so i can take some decent pictures of the rest of my collection.........

Yay Miss lolita is back !

You know I am not getting the hang of this blogging regulary, when i started my blog last month i kinda made a promise to myself that i would post on a daily if not every few days basis, but alas life seems to get in the way, i know i can do it, i just have to make sure it is slotted into my routine...............so lets see if i can manage more posts..............................................................

Joy and jubilation...........i have know got miss lolita back, at the camera shop they said it can take up to six weeks ........yes six weeks.......... to get it repaired........at this news i turned into a slighty crazed woman telling the shop assistant that i could not wait six weeks blah blah blah, i need her on a daily basis, they found it very odd that i referred to my camera as an her, bah they don't understand the bond between a girl and her camera !! well thankfully it didn't take six weeks just a week, and all she had was a bent bit in the battery compartment.................which if we hadn't took out extra on the guarantee we would be paying £100- for them to bend back a piece of metal................crazy.......................

I have also been a busy bee getting together a spring summer collection of sorts, which consists of a mixture linens and vintage fabrics, i would show some pics of WIP but i have had no camera to take pics........ expect a post on this in the next few days !

We have found or baby !!

I go for weeks with no posting , but then do two on the same day, but i forgot to mention in my last post this very exiting piece of news..........................if any of you who read my blog (not sure if that is many ? ) you will have probably read my profile and you will see that at the bottom it says that we want a whippet.............well we have found our little girl, i have been looking for months now and have not had that feeling that i know i get when something is right, i have despaired at times, and wondered if i would ever get that 'this is right feeling'.........................

well last friday night i was searching for whippet puppies on the net(an often daily experience) and i came across our little girl.......................... she was the one i fell in love with instantly amongst her brothers and sisters , everything felt right and i went to bed with a warm fuzzy feeling, the next morning i called the breeder and i got a really positive vibe from her, the pup i described to her was still available ! and was the last bitch left ! the other 3 had already been chosen, everything felt right and yes she is now ours, we just have to wait 7 wks to bring her home, but that gives us plenty of time to get the house puppy proofed, beds and collars and leads bought, and time to make a cosy blanket for her......................this house is rockin with puppy love right now.....................even the surly teenager and the man who had always said "NO you cannot have a dog " how things change !!

I will leave you with some pics taken of..............Matilda Delie Mae...........what a cutie..................

I'm a bad blogger !!

ok ok i'm a bad blogger, i have had every intention of posting plenty of times but life has just got in the way, it has been a stressful couple of weeks and i have had no crafting time at all................

But i plan to change that over the next few days, so expect some WIP photos posted.

To make things worse my beloved little pentax 'little lolita' has just froze on me today, i don't understand i have always treated her with the greatest of respect, we have always got on so well beautiful photographs have been our main goal together, for the past two years she has barely left my side, so why oh why i cry what have i done ?? well tomorrow morning i shall be taking her to the camera hospital called jessops, i just hope that they treat her with care !!

In the meantime i will leave you with some pictures that i took of my youngest daughter, she has been studying WW2 at school and the other day the whole year group had to dress up as evacuees, well as a rule living in the 21st century we don't have many childrens 1940s clothes hanging around, but i think she looks pretty good with the dress i very proudly pieced together, it was an old dress of my youngest sisters that i took apart and remodelled, till 1am in the morning ! things we do for our offspring !! well a good day was had by my daughter and her friends, they even made mashed potato biscuits and she assured me that they were better than biscuits of now, i have promised her that i will get the recipe so we can make them at home.......................... i will let you know how they are !!
