WOYWW...

My life seems to be full of wonderful events to celebrate so I'm making the best of it.    :-) :-)   As you will see in my last posts I've been dog racing for the first time this week and what a hoot that was....and I made a profit too.  You will also see I'm hoping to spread some love to all my blogging friends.  Please collect some love from me in the last post and lets see how far we can spread it.

I've been finishing off several new projects and Twiglet and I spent Monday morning restocking the shop with yummy new pictures, brooches and gifts.  Do pop over here and leave us a comment to let us know what you think please.

We had another brilliant Funday Monday with lots of fun and laughter but I did manage to make a start at new spring dumfed picture.  

I have now finished it so it will be going onto a shop shelf soon.  Hope you like it.  

I will also be making more poppy pictures cos these are flying off the shelf as soon as they go on.  My latest big Poppy picture has now gone into Tina's shop at Montgomery so I'm really excited.

The other exciting news I'd like to share with you today is that I've been commissioned to make one of my puppets for a young man to give his junior school as he leaves to move up to bigger and better things.  The puppet is to have blond spiky hair like my Mr Tumble dolls and is to be dressed in the school sweat shirt.  :-)  I enjoy designing and creating and really love these sort of challenges.

Well folks, that's enough from me for this week.  Please pop over to Julia's blog and go and visit more creative spaces that are being exposed today and maybe spread a little love on your way  :-)

Hugs,

A promising post....

I hear you saying....Why is this 'A promising post'?    What is she promising now?  :-)

Well I have started my day off well this morning and hoped to share a few positive thoughts with you.  I opened my curtains to see a slight blanket of white on the ground in the churchyard opposite our house and just has to go and investigate.  This is what I found...

Go on click on the picture for a closer look cos there really is so much promise just in that one picture.  I have then snapped just a few of the clumps that were out slightly further.

Aren't they so pretty ?  .....and each one comes full of promise of warmer weather on its way.....yes, Spring really is just around the corner.  Yahoooooo

Then as I walked back up our front garden I spotted yet more promise.

These are Bluebells shooting skyward......

....and Tulips emerging from their wintry home.....

......and Daffodil bulbs making steady progress upwards.

Oh and the promise doesn't stop there for me  :-)  

 This is my 'to do' rail first thing this morning.  Shhhhh don't tell anyone 'cos they will all come running to fill it for me.  Do you think it means I will have time to 'play ' today?  Would be nice.

S from Snaps and Snippets asked to see the posh floaty dress I was working on yesterday so here is a quick snap of it.  It''s an evening dress but would make a really pretty Wedding dress too.

So my friends,  a post full of promise to share with you all today.  Hope you have a great day and come back soon.
