Bitty Ballerina's....

Did these for a lady that was part of a London Show...She gave me a description of each girl and I endeavoured to re-create them as these bitty ballerina's....so cute :)

Having done these, I've also enhanced the sports sets...a footballer, cricketer, rugby player, basketballer and netball girls, each with their own balls and bats....great fun....I must also get the Romans and Normans that I did ages ago for another project, and the bitty Witch....of course it's also a matter of demand, so a bit wary to list things that may not be popular....

Life has continued to be hecktic as the end of the school year approaches...this is Gareth's last year, up to Secondary school in September, and the stress is begining to show...at home at least ... ;)...

Trains....Or Rather Engines....

I have to be correct for the fans out there...and that includes me for Steam....just love the Smell and the Noise.. :) ....Still this little set aren't so little...but will fill a card beautifully and add that dimension what ever age...will accent a scrapnook page well too, wether 12x12 or 8x8...probably a bit too big for 6x6.. :)

Been quite busy...as ever...seem to have got back to the busy time at school...Gareth is doing his transition to secondary school, so a bit topsy turvy...plus a trip to France next tuesday... :o ...them sports day on Friday.....I seem to have been up every week recently for school meetings...and I have to say I'm usually the only one....intro to new school teachers, and a health / diet thing...surely I'm not the only parent that cares...maybe I am....

Well, on that note...I'm away to sleep....got five sets of Westies to make up tomorrow...Joy x x

Tractors and Treats....

Well so much for going to bed earlier...still sat here, but I'm not taking Pinky (my Laptop) upstairs with me this time :)

Have at last completed the tractor collection...and they are so cute...there's a children's programme called 'The Little Red Tractor', so had to include one for that...and the other colours are similar that which can actually be found in the fields and yards...plus in the front of the traffic jam on the way to the camp site :D

I've also been playing with two other new dies...a big Icecream's with Vanilla, Chocolate and Strawberry flavours...and also Lollipop's...still playing with this though as it doesn't look quite right yet...got some great colours though :)....will take photo's tomorrow as I've got new Motorbikes and Engines too....

So this month I'm going to endeavour to update a bit more often...although I don't want to be doing it at this time of night each time....

Back again soon...Joy x x

Photo's...Photo's....Photo's.....

Had our Annual Exhibiton Competition on Tuesday, at the Camera Club...Didn't do very well...one photo out of eight got a mention...one guy got 1st's in at least four of the eight categories.. so not feeling to good about myself/ability at the moment :(

Still...life goes on....busy with cutting again...and using some of the new dies I got some time ago...loving playing with the shapes and working the best colours....must get them finished so you can see them too...

Three more days before Gareth goes back to school...but we have friends round tomorrow for a craft session...(had to cancel it Tuesday as chaos ruled here)...need to tidy up a bit though :)

Off now....will see you soon...Joy x x

Fluttering around....

Haven't actually seen any butterflies today, but it's been nice and sunny here, so we have sorted some more of the back garden.....just got to sort some of the pots out now and put the new water feature together...that'll be fun...Pini's birthday next week, and we're doing a high tea...with hats and everything :)

Had an old friend from Primary School come round last friday....tidied the whole house before hand so that shocked Chris and Paula lol...now I'll have to see if I can keep it up...although if you look in the front room now a bomb must have hit :)

Had a crop yesterday at Titchfield Primary School and managed to get 5 layouts done...8x8's so not too big...but felt quite chuffed with myself :)....now need to put the rest of the images in my new boxes...as that seemed to help...and then hopefully I can get some done at home...will have to upload them and show you....

BBQ is almost ready...see you soon...Joy x x x

Madness....and Illness....

Yep...not been a good month...was very ill with a cold that we think turned into Larangitus..actuallly lost my voice over Easter...much to my 'friends' delight...sounded like a little girl apparently....anyway, have now recovered from that, although the pollen is giving me real problems this week...

Work wise I have still been busy....getting some new collections together...and also continuing with the old favourites....realised that a couple of items had been missing off the list for a bit, so rectified that this week...and the Chickens have proved popular this past month :)

The Photo I've put up is some of the Hats I've done...ready for Ascot, as well as Weddings,...do peope still wear hats to weddings???...Not that I have any to go to this year, but the Cherry Blossom is starting to fall of the trees down here, and I always associte that with weddings..:)..

Gareth is having a bath at the moment...in an attempt to calm him down a bit...has come back from school in a horrible mood :( ...He's got an appointment with the Psych people on Monday...Hope that helps...

Have some more chickens to make tonight...and then some new dinosaurs...will show you soon...x x x

Racing Round....

busy again...and this last week it has been the Racing Cars...I know the F1 Season starts next week, or maybe getting ready for Father's Day...

I have had a number of oversea's purchases again, which is great...this week I've had a request for the Californian Poppies, the Rare Breed Cows, and the VW Beetle cars for the USA...

Home life has been a bit frantic....Gareth has not been that brilliant at school or home a couple of weeks ago....thought it might have been his birthday that was on the 17th, but it carried on after that...I managed to get a referal to the Pshyc people, so will be organising an appointment next week....

I've not been well today...eventually woke up with only one side of my nose working...so have had a rest day....not really done anything except try and breath... :) ...x x x
