Latest Teapots :)

Christmas Teapots !!! The first two are little bird houses with holly and tiny ikle Robins The next pair are shabby chic Winter Roses and tiny Blue tits. These are going on Ebay tonight. I love shabby chic things (as well as spooky, wonder if theres such a thing as a shabby witch.........) and when in the mood I make teapots. I already have some ideas for Spring themes. All these teapots will be listed on Ebay tonight :)

Two precious little girls!!!

These are two of my little treasures.....two Jane Davies dolls. The little girl in the brown dress reminded me of Anna when she was younger :) the little girl in the white dress looked a bit like her friend Lucy. They are kept in my display cabinet well away from tiny paws. My cabinet contains all of my treasures bought at the mini fairs we used to go to (and still go to when we get the chance) and from Liberty Bell in Chester.

This morning ..

We had just a sprinkle of snow overnight...nowhere near the amount that some folk have had. We are quite sheltered here in this part of Cheshire, the Welsh mountains on one side of us and the Pennine hills on the other.Our shed (Annas old playhouse) needs replacing!!! probably next year now. In the second photo you can see Alfie, one of four little grey squirels that visit our garden. There were only two last year !!! we get peanuts for them (and the flock of sweet little Blue Tits that come ) We get lots of birds Robins, Long Tailed Tits and a pair of Jays, lovely :)

Witches shoes and new teapot

My Witches and Faerie shoes are now on my Etsy :) This is my latest design of miniature teapot, a bit of a wassailing theme of apples and a hand painted apple tree painted on each side, made this for fun and its now on Ebay.

What I've been up to (part2) Witches Shoes

These are my first try at some little witches shoes. They are made from polymer clay and decorated some with moss,glitter, silk ribbon and braid. I am now trying some with heels!!!! and I'm going to play around with different trimmings. Yesterday I bought some new sparkly little bits and bobs, so will have a play with them tomorrow:) and make some one in different colours,like scarlet red or maybe have some with red soles and heels!

Tiny Fearie shoes, hopefully you can see how small these really are. Just waiting for tiny Fearie feet that are going to dance at all the Yule tide festivities.:) I'm going to make a pair sitting on top of a toadstool and maybe some Fairy Tale themed ones !

What I've been up to (part1) LITTLE PIGS

I've been busy!!!! these are two little pigs Xmas Rose and Holly. they are fully jointed, have tiny onyx bead piggy eyes and ultra (faux ) suede ears, wiggyly tails and trotters. They are completely hand sewn.
