A cheerful little line-up of characters.
I made the two peg doll fairies a while ago, Daphne the doll last week and Ted needed something warm to keep out the chills so I made him this little waistcoat yesterday.
There are masses and masses of delicious bluebells in our garden.
The Bluebell Fairy wanders among them.
Mr Dante sniffs among them.
They look so pretty in the golden sunlight.
So does this and the vivid yellow flowers dazzle in their own right.
See how bright they are.
Mmmm - he's still sniffing the flowers.
She is now perched on a branch of the Lilac tree watching proceedings from up on high.
I wish I could send you the smell of these gorgeous flowers.
So does she.
This lady rests in the dappled sunshine sitting on a branch of Broom.
Just chillin' and enjoying the peace and solitude.
Oh dear - here he is yet again. Sniffing and investigating.
Ah, that's better. I was very tempted to sit among the flowers myself but other things beckoned from indoors.
After all the pinkaliciousness of the wedding last week I am now in the mood for some aqua - my second most favourite colour. I made this brooch last night and realised in the light of day that this reminds me of something from the ocean. All those swirls and pearls and even the mother of pearl button in the centre. My subconcious mind must have kicked in here as I was on auto pilot following a meal out with some friends earlier in the evening.
Today, continuing with the aqua theme I made some fairy cakes, dusted with glitter of course.
There are plenty more to go round if you would like to join me. Tea time at 3.00 pm every afternoon.
The best kind of washing is the pretty kind. The delicate wisps of lacey goodness that only need a gentle swoosh in the suds and a warm, sunny day to dry them on the washing line.
The gauzy apron from my previous post and a gorgeous length of lace, both bought on Saturday and needing a little freshening up.
Not too much breeze to damage the fineness of an old silk handkerchief, a piece of handmade lace and a lovely old collar from some long gone dress.
On Tuesday 14th April,2009 I gained a daughter and grand daughter following the marriage of my son Daniel to Christina. It was a beautiful occasion.
A family group.....
All the pretty bridesmaids.
Myself, my sister Mandy and my niece Heather deep in conversation.
The gardens of the 17th century mill where the wedding took place are really romantic with lots of pretty spots to take photo's.
The air around the waterfall felt so cool and fresh.
It was good to catch up with family.
