Busy Monday Morning...

It's only 2:00 and i've already managed to stitch together 25 lavender bags...
Make 8 Candles,
Clean the Rabbit out,
Done a load of washing and hung it out to dry,
and prepare lunch...
Phew!

This is one of the lavender bags
Pretty tea-cup candle

Fudge was happy with a nice clean cage, she enjoyed a run around in the living room while i cleaned her out. Finlay has been asleep for last 2 hours, and she doesn't get a good chance to stretch her legs while Finlay is awake. It's ends up a game of hide and seek!
Isn't she a little beauty?
:)

One happy Rabbit :)

A very productive day...

Another rainy day in Oxford, which means i can relax and get out my books!One of my absolute favourite books at the moment is 'Kirstie Allsopps Homemade Home' She is such an inspiring and creative woman. There are lots of lovely things i want to try my hand at, especially Candle Making and Fabric Decoupage.


I tried making her 'Teacup Candle' unfortunatley i don't have any fancy or vintage teacups, but found some standard ones that would do the job! These were just plain unscented natural wax candles, maybe when i'm a bit more advanced i can try scented/colour ones!

I will be keeping these ones i think :)

Candle Teacup in need of a home!

This was my first go, so i think i  might keep the blue teacups as they'll look lovely in my bathroom. Once i get my hand on some more cups (Currently raiding the Charity shops) i can make some more, and hopefully sell them on my stall at the Oxford Craft Market.
