Spring is Here!

What a great weekend! We all went down the road to Haddo Park and took the bunnies along for a photo shoot in the snowdrops. Tony is a great photograper and I'ld be lost with out him! We played frisbee and football and everyone including Mr Chew Chew enjoyed an icecream!
I love this photo of Sam (my second oldest of 3) and Chew Chew.

More about ME!

I have 3 kids, all in the high school phase now. I share my home with a pug called Mr Chew Chew who IS the best dog in the world! And also Angus and Sid my cats. I have a very old rabbit too, Bunsie seems to have been around for ever! I have always been creative and love art of all types. If I see something I admire my next thought is I could make that! I taught myself to make stained glass panels then moved on to glass mosiac. I have always been pretty good at drawing and sketching. I think that runs in my family. Of course I love to sew and have just bought a janome 6600 which does pretty much everything....which leads me to quilt making which I also enjoy.


Two years ago I met a lovely Aussie girl who very kindly sharely her expertise with me in making cloth dolls. I was partically taken with Vennas Mercantile designs. So I have been recreating Kim Kohlers designs for sometime now. Shes also a very lovely person too!

I sell my dolls on ebay.I really had to! I was running out of space!
I am lucky enough to live in a charming old farmhouse in the aberdeenshire region of Scotland. Its not home to me, but its a beautiful place to live. I need to be in the country surrounded by flora and fauna. City live is def not for me!

Whats next ? Well I am intrigued by the paperclay dolls and I think thats next on my list.....Watch this space!
Well I think its time to start using my blog! I flit from one thing to the other that I dont finish what Ive started.
Theres always something to do, lifes never boring! Ive only just really begun to look into blogging, and I wonder do I have time for this and is it worth it?
