The tale of the beaded wedding dress...
Recently I offered to make a wedding dress as a gift, to some friends of mine who were getting married. Their original dress maker wasn't able to do it, so I offered to help.
The dress was made using fabric from the bride's sisters old gown, so I set to work on designing a classic vintage style gown that the bride wanted.
The hardest part was all the beading and the dress was quite heavy when completed, but it really did look a treat.
Sometimes it's good to push yourself to tight deadlines, especially when it makes people so very happy :)
We really are the Lucky ones !

Rufus the field mouse
A very dear friend of mine discovered he had a little field mouse living in the old aga in his kitchen. We think the mouse was a survivor that the cat had brought in.
Here is a lovely little film about that mouse that we decided to call Rufus :)
Enjoy

Teddy needs his rubber duckie....
Here in Wales we have had alot of rain, twelve weeks of it to be precise, so I only thought it fitting to make a woollen bear in his bathing suit. Well you would, wouldn't you :)
But Barnaby will not put a paw in the water with out his rubber duckie bathing ring ...
So grab your duckies and Woollie swimsuits now and head for water !
Or alternatively pop over to etsy and have a good look at him.
