Shop update

The soap pot has been busy over the past couple of weeks. I have a few newbies to introduce to my FELT store including the new 'fusion au pamplemousse' aptly named by the fabulous Nin from 'the wardrobe' blog.

I've also popped a baby collection in there too, it includes my baby bottom balm which I've made for years now, fantastic as a nappy rash preventer, but can also be used for skin conditions such as eczema as well, containing Lavender Angustifolia, Manuka & German chamomile.

Hope the week has been nice for you all and that there has been a glimpse of summer in there somewhere!

Scrap Bag Goodies

I was lucky enough to be one of the recipients in Nin's scrap bag swap.

My lovely lady swapper was Annie B from Annie B handmade.

Snail mail pressies & fabric are two of my favourite things, when they are combined & wrapped in vintage wall paper....well I'm speechless!

Thanks so much Annie! I'm off to do a wee bit of crafting on my newly serviced retro singer that has been hibernating in the attic.

Shopping....

Fragrant Therapeutics soap is now available in my FELT store.

There is also a Face Book page HERE.

Off you go for a virtual sniff!

Hmmm scratch & sniff PC screens, I could be on to something!

There is also a wee competion to win a cake of this little sweetie on my Face Book page, all you have to do is come up with a name for it!

Changing rooms

I had a little shift around yesterday. Imogen & i have shared the front room as baby/ sewing room for around 1 year, but the other night I had a wee apifphinie, that Anya could have the front room (still my sewing 'corner') Which would allow me to sew more while Ginny is asleep, and sew in the evenings...bonus. Fleur and Ginny are now sharing which is great as Anya is getting to the age where she needs her own space (seriously limited in our little house!)  Ginny & Fleur love each other to bits & the fighting between Anya & Fleur will 'hopefully' minimize now that they actually have time 'out' from each other!

I had lots of fun setting up Anya's wee space, a great opportunity to have another clean out (it never ceases to amaze me how many paper 'creations' come from their room!) 

I was going to get her a lamp for her dresser & this morning spotted this cutie at the Salvo's, it had no shade, but I re-covered one from another lamp with this seer sucker fabric.....now to clean up the mess on my side!

New acquisition

The first time in my life I've spent more than $10 on nail polish....OPI 'suzi takes the wheel'.

I've had a few very special wee things enter my house lately, the first is our new camera, I've been without a camera for ages (I may have dropped ours on the road). So I borrowed a friends, which according to Fleur 'fell off the piano from the wind' (hehe) So both LCD's were broken & photo's were a bit of hit & miss, just like the good old days! I'm learning to use this piece of hi-tech brilliance, just not so keen on the monthly HP invoice!!

The next very exciting thing is my new (old) wardrobe I scored on trade me for $103 smackers. I seriously had to reduce my clothes by about 1/3 to fit them in here, but we had a garage sale and broke even which was awesome! The reason I needed a new wardrobe is because my lovely has smashed out the two large wardrobes that were side by side between our room & the girls room, to make way for a new toilet, the first step toward turning our scary cold old laundry (where the loo currently is) into a new kitchen (when I say 'new' it will be predominately made from recycled materials). Exciting things I tell you.....exciting in deed.
