In the post today

Oh, I love it when the postie brings me lovely things. Today my GIVEAWAY PRIZE from Katie @WHAT KATIE DID NEXT arrived.

Here is my parcel eagerly awaiting to be opened.

"Stop taking photo's and open me" it says.

Inside I find the most adorable little box wrapped in a red ribbon

And here it is - A smashing sterling silver and fabric ring.

Pictured on my left hand as it is impossible to take a photo of your right hand !!! Awkward...

Thanks Katie (couldn't resist using my "What Katy Did Next" book, even though spelling is diff)

My creative daughter

Hi everyone. I have been without internet for the week so sorry for my lack of posts and comments. Happy to say I am back now, and just wanted to share with you these very cool clay characters that my girl has made.

She has put so much detail into them and they look just fabulous up close -

Bunnies going to Market

You may recall in an earlier post that I had made a few Flopsy Rabbits - well as rabbits do, they seem to have multiplied!!! So here is the little brood that will be going to Easter Market.

Too cute not to share

Dizzy is fitting in nicely and just loves to play with the kids.

Beep, Beep....here I come

Now it's time for a nap...

Meet Dizzy and Hiccup....

Today we got two new additions to the family .

They are very cute, cuddly and apparently enjoy watching Spongebob Squarepants.

This is DIZZY the guinea pig

and this is HICCUP our lop rabbit

We like to tell secrets....shhhhh

What is cute and fluffy and has a little twitchy nose?

New Additions to the Alice Collection

By now, all of you Alice fans would have been to see the movie - So what did you think? I loved it, the costumes, the story, the characters, the scenery...oh it was all just so wonderfully wonderful.

I have created three more Alice spoon pendants to add to the series.

Here they are.

It's Always Tea-Time

The Queen's Croquet Ground

Wacky Candelabra - I made it

After watching a DIY show recently, I found some inspiration and a wonderful idea on what to do with a chandelier, that I had bought at a garage sale years ago.

It has been adorned with teacups, teapot and hanging cutlery and is now residing on my front verandah (apparently it was too mad to be hung inside ).

So here you have it

The Mad Hatters Candelabra

It is so much fun in Wonderland - lets take a trip

There are so many wonderful Alice inspired creations that have been made by members of the Australian Etsy team - DUST. Here is just a few of my favourites , but to see them all
