Soaps and spa's!

I am so very happy today i have had another sale on etsy, one of my felted heart soaps. : ) wooohoooo!!!!!!!!! i also had the most fantastic day with friends yesterday, we went to a local country club and swam , jacuzzied, had a sauna and went in the steam room. Our daughters are great friends and they played in the pool for 2 hours - bless. We then had an amazing meal of taco's, drank good wine and stopped in their gorgeous holiday cottage with log fire - what a top day! i know i am talking about things i said i wouldn't whoops, its just great when you just have one of those perfect days!
Back to life in the rainbow room, nearly finished my christmas card design, just debating whether to put the little stars on .... then i must finish my felted roses and take some photos when it stops raining! I have got soooooo much i want to make at the moment.

Butterfly Day

Today we all had a day off and we had a lovely family day out! We visited a local butterfly house where we saw some fantastic butterflies and some great flowers too.


I particularly loved the Coral Hibiscus flower and well all the butterflies!!!

Although it was my day off, my brain was ticking all the time and i found it very inspiring.


But hey who needs felt hair clips, when you can wear a real butterfly on your head!?!

We also visited a couple of exhibitions one was far too 'fine art' for me and the other was wildlife photographer of the year. WOW such amazing photos and such amazing animals! I found the owl photos particularly inspiring, might have to make some little owls they are fantastically magical creatures.

Designing a Christmas card.

I have been working on this felt picture for a Christmas card design, i have a lot more work to do, stitching and adding more details. The plan was to have 'merry christmas' in decorative writing over the top but not quite decided on that yet. I am really enjoying this larger project.

Oh ....And thanks to Kayla coo for including me in her 'shopping list saturday' http://kaylacoo.blogspot.com/2008/10/shopping-list-saturday_11.html

Ahhh a little rainbow to brighten the day, the world is all a bit doom and gloom at the mo so i am feeling the need to see lots of colour and especially rainbows!

I have been making a some beautiful felted roses, which i will be posting photos of soon(when they are finished) apart from that photos, accounts, listing on etsy and being a full time mum are all keeping me busy. I really need to start a big new project - a huge wall piece - i think, lots of love and colour! I have just sorted through the etsy shop lowering all the prices due to a big change in the exchange rate! bfn

Blogs and Goodies!

Got all my goodies from vistaprint, and really chuffed with it all. lovely notecards, postcards, labels, business cards etc etc I think they look great! : )

I have also been featured in macsoapy's blog, who's work i have admired for years, so Danke!
