boys and cakes

OOOhhhh I really enjoyed going wild with Fiona's icing squirter. I let the boys choose some hideous colours which terrified us all this morning when they made a return appearance in H's nappy this morning.... urghhhh! I'm loving my ebay cake stand and my Newton Dee candle holder.

Simple Images

I'm so chuffed with these photos from a
recent long weekend away at my in-law's house.

I'm going to have them printed by Moo Cards
or Photobox in business card format and then
stick them with foam cushion pads to blank
greetings cards.

I was inspired to take these pics by some cards
made by creative people on the beautiful Scottish
Isle of Canna. 'Canna Folk' have produced a variety
of image based art and craft work that highlights
the simple beauty in their local environment.

Dresser Love

I never thought I was a dresser type of person, too twee for my taste - that was until I was awe struck at the sight of a friends dresser, bought for a bargain at a thrift shop, and painted with lovely 'Farrow and ball' egg shell paint - I had to have one!! So the quest began - checking our local furniture charity shop on a regular basis - nothing for weeks, months...until one Thursday afternoon I hit the jackpot.....

Horribly dated, with that orangy pine look, but after a bit of a sand down, 2 coats of undercoat and 2 coats of paint, I couldn't be more pleased.
