Things we love in our house.

We love Widget and friends and are slowly but surely gathering a good collection

We have Loralie,Watson,Wol,Private B and George the thnake, if you too fancy starting a collection have a look here . Anna is one clever lady and we love her bunnies .

Way back in January we went to Cardiff with my nieces to Cardiff museum to see a exhibition on my absolute  FaVoUrItE childrens author in fact scrap that , lets just say author because I enjoy her work just as much as my children

My eldest loves Clarice Bean ,there have been occasions where I have not been able to continue reading these stories due to the fits of giggles they tend to bring on,

Little G got to dress up as an alligator,

I want one !!

The princess and the pea - how amazing is this !!The girlies played for ages .

An actual scene from the book

I aBsOlUtElY love her artwork ,and reading about how she goes about it was soooo interesting - how I

 would love to have a talent like hers.

 

                                           Little Miss have a quick rest .We all enjoyed ,all learnt something and all agreed that Lauren Childs is the BeSt.

As you know I love buttons , I use them on brooches,jewelleryand my creatures, my daughters love sorting them, Little G howevere as you can see above has a complete new use for them -beds for his people !!

Two new makes

Matilda the Owl

and  a new design ,

Tallulah the mousie - what do you think of her all comments welcome !! She was born out of the need to use up the long thin sleeves from the upcycled jumpers I use .

Hope you had a good weekend and a nice Valentines day . Can i just say thanks to Black Cats Whiskers

Oh thats what I used to do !!!

I have just returned from a day of supply teaching the -first in 2 1/2 years - I survived and am going back tomorrow but I must admitt to looking forward to wednesday - back to my little boring routine that I have grown to love .
We had a lovely weekend Saturday on the beach sunday pooching about - however I was a little productive - have a look here , it all got a little confusing with brooches , creatures etc.. so now dottydaisies is for bunnies ... and dottydoesdaisies is for accessories.
I mentioned in my last post that wet felting was fast becoming the addiction of the day well here are some of the fruits of my soggy labour

No subtle colours for me me - I LOVE COLOUR.!

                                                    

A little bit of needle- felting

A lot of people loved

so I made a mini brooch version like this -

I am on a roll now so may try to get some things on etsy  -hope you had a good day  love SaRaH X

PLEASE CHECK OUT HERE

lets hope absence makes the heart grow fonder !!!

Wow thats one big impressive gap between blogs even if I do say so myself -  I have no valid reason for this apart from the following :  1. What started as 'I am going to clean out the kitchen cupboards' turned into a complete house overhaul ie. new wardrobes , shelving etc etc and it is still not finished !Its one of those jobs I wish I had never started !!!
                                              2. I  am getting really annoyed with my inability to take good photos and the speed or lack of.. that I take to edit them .
                                               

                                             3. I have rediscovered the joy of wet felting again - my lovely sister in law introduced me to it over 2 years ago but have not done a lot until recently - now I am up to my elbows in fibre , olive soap and bubble wrap but i do love it soooooo much x

Like I said no real reason but lets get to the crunch- my long overdue giveaway  - and the winner is ( pulled out from my favourite flowery dress)    HAPTREE - with her felty fish idea so e mail me with your details  - dottydaisies@hotmail.co.uk.

Here are a few piccies of recent makes,

Millicent Owl made from an upcycled jumper (already flown to new home )

 

Maude owl - a very gentle sleepy little lady .

My bunnies with a pouch -handy for the little carrot pal or even better for some mini eggs- the pouch did start off a bit of a debate with littleG as to whether its a bunny or kangaroo " only kangaroos have pockets mummy "

This is Laila bunny .

A little bunny in a carrot keychain - the bunny can come out for a little hop around !

bunnies ,bunnies , bunnies everywhere !!!!

one of my favourite brooches

twitawoo !

Hopefully next time I will show you the corsage and bracelet I have made for myself for a wedding I am going to .

Take care SaRaH X X X
