a busy week

hi everyone,

finally its friday! i have been looking forward to this weekend after having so many assessments and a portfolio to hand in!!  Had to go to the flower market this morning for a weekend job but had a chance to relax this afternoon!



I made a little star today from some leftover willow from an arrangement..


And i made a union jack throw to hang ...  love it!!!




One of my favourite childhood memories was sitting in the garden making daisy chains...  

heres a pic of a pretty outfit i bought for a friends little girl!  I love shopping for little girls; as I only have boys, its a real treat for me!





I did a little vintage shopping last weekend; I found this pretty painting! just a print actually! but I love it!


Also this piece... I had to dye the shade from a terrible mustard colour... using rit petal pink.. it changed to a salmon colour...


Looks so pretty now!  



While i was picking up the sconce, I spotted this little florentine tray out the corner of my eye! sooo pretty!


unbelievably, I walked into a thrift store a few hours later and found another green and gold one!  for only $3.50.. couldnt believe my luck!


This was a textured heart wreath I made for an assessment yesterday... was so complex with around 20 different techniques  ... so pretty! and I passed my assessment thankfully!!


Have a wonderful weekend everyone and thankyou so much for visiting and for your lovely, lovely comments!

  3. Oh I love your home, Laura! Your willow star in the lacy window is just beautiful! And your Union Jack is awesome! I still envy your gift of sewing. :) I'm green with envy over that gorgeous wall sconce you found. I'll be looking for one like that at the flea market next weekend. :) Congrats on you passing your assessment! That piece looks beautiful! Have a wonderful week, my sweet friend. ♥
