I have been designing and making dolls and country crafts for about 10 years now. I am a mother to one 17 year old son and a partner to my childhood sweetheart Darren. (Who i might add is the most wonderful hubby and never makes a comment if there are doll bodies all over the house. Or when i come home with a very old piece of something. He is the best i would be lost without him.).I just love to design and make primitives. I have a real passion for old vintage photos and just about anything vintage and old!!! I am a fulltime designer and have had a website of over 3 years. I also make wholesale items for shops around Australia.
I enjoy making something new but making it look like it has been around forever.
This is the sweetest rose in my mothers garden. The colours and the scent are just delightful. Her roses at the moment are all in bloom. Mine on the other hand need water and to be sprayed for little bugs.I had better get to it very soon . Mine do have some flowers but could have a lot more if i had more time to spend in the garden. Anyhoo.... Tanxxoo

This is a photo of my 16 year old baby. His name is Shaun and he is with his friend Amanda. He looks alot older than he is but he has always been a really grown up child.I am very lucky to have a good child with heaps of common sense.My son is the light of my life. He has the most delightful greenish eyes..
He has just started year 11 .Mind you he can be a little devil though. But if i remember rightly i was alot like him when i was his age.
It has not rained for so long in my part of the world that sometimes i forget what it's like. For the last two days we have received wonderful amounts of rain. We still need inches and inches more before i can water my garden again but i guess 3 inches is a start. Just thought i would share some pics of my little stream i had in my yard this after noon.
We have very little grass at the moment so the water filled up my front and back yard like a dam.It flooded all of the gutters but filled my tank that we use as the water for our house.
If only we could get rain like alot of other places up her in Queensland because most other parts are flooded . Heres hoping we get more rain like today over the next few weeks and i'll be doing the happy dance!!!!
Well the new year has begun and i'm still behind in my work. I have sooooo many new ideas floating around in my head it is hard to settle on just one at the moment......I hope you all have a delightful year for 2008 and that all you wish for this year comes true.
I have been trying to get patterns for my dolls written up for about 3 or 4 years now .....but i have started and now have about 6 dolls down on paper....lol....{IF YOU READ THIS ROBBY I HAVE STARTED PATTERNS....HA ...HA...}. My dear sweet friend Robby has been trying to get me to do this for sooo long and well they are on there way to being printed.
Anyhoo better stop dribbling on as there is so much for be to do today.
Happy New Year to you all.... May we be thankful for everything we have and will have.
