Not what we planned.............

Last night when we went to bed we had big plans for the day. Breakfast of pancakes then a bike ride down along the promenade but during the wee hours of the morning it started raining and hasn't stopped. Big tropical downpours as we get here. So plans had to be changed, we still had pancakes but activities have changed to the indoor type. I am making some owls while the wee ones are playing shopkeepers. And let me tell you the shopkeepers have one hell of a shoe shop. It includes all the lovely shoes we bought ourselves yesterday.

Mine are the red ones. So, so cute too.

Stripey jumpsuit................

I just refashioned a jumpsuit for Martine that I found in the basket of Barbie clothing.

Very cute & very 40's don't you think??

My creative space........

My time today was spent co-ordinating strips of fabrics, a bit of embroidery and in between watching a bit of Trinny & Susannah undress. I do love these girls. I am not sure why but I do!

Oh and catching up on all the other goings on in the world of creative spacers.

Lack of conversation.........

I had a trip to the hairdressers yesterday which was very much needed. On my way there I realised I hadn't been since January. Scary!!! I never usually notice how bad the regrowth is until I sit in the chair and look in the very well lite mirror then I cringe. My hairdresser or mon coiffeur, if you like to say it in French, have a very good understanding. Neither of us say very much too one another because we can't but he always does just what I want. The right colours, the right cut and I come out feeling fabulous. Maybe it's all telepathic, maybe I'm sitting there all the time thinking don't mess up my hair, yes like that, that is good or it is just not seeing all that grey. Who knows but I like his style.

My hair doesn't look anything like the Blythe above (if you were wondering why I put her there) I just like her do.

Unfocused Friday.............

It has been raining all day here and I have been a bit lost with what to do with myself. I have things I should be doing like housework but I don't want to do that! So in between deciding what I really want to do I prepared dinner, admired my mini moo cards that arrived yesterday and messed around with some ideas I have had floating around my head. There is a festival here in October and fellow artist/friend has asked me to share a stall with here so that's what all the thinking has been for.
I hope somebody has had a bit more focused day than me, please let me now I would be interested to see what you have done..

Clothes for Martine..............

Here we are clothes made and a whole new ensemble at that. I didn't think I would get that achieved! I know the garments are only small but they are fiddley and can take sometime to do. She got a quick and easy frilly skirt and a wee crocheted cross over top to wear with those fab boots.
I do just love these girls they are so made just to model stuff. I went shopping last night and bought Martine some undies, I'm not going to fiddle around with things this small but all the shots I see of the girls they all look so gorgeous. While in the process of doing this I saw a new girl that I think I will put on my wishlist for my birthday. I really do think it will be wishful thinking that I will be able to get her but we can only try.

p.s if you would like a closer look at the clothes just click on the image.

Red boots..............

I bought these fab red cowboy boots for Martine some time ago and haven't gotten around to making her anything to go with them. I have gotten all inspired again after reading about Buttontree's jetsetter friend. She had a whole lot of cute gear in her bags. So I am off to sew after a coffee with the husband. He is working from home this afternoon.Hopefully I will have show and tell tomorrow.
