ALL THAT SPARKLES

I've had fun recently putting together a range of sparkly accessories to sell at my forthcoming events. Although getting Bella to model as a thirteen year old, extremely self concious teenager can be challenging at times

A LITTLE BIT OF SPARKLE

I've been creating a few new headbands and headdresses with a sparkle feathers and leather available on my website.

and some Spring print dresses incorporating a new style which is the sleeveless swing dress with big pockets.

Bella took her RAD Grade 3 ballet exam and we wait with anticipation for the results in about 4 weeks. We also look forward to her performing in three dances at the Festival at the end of the month including her first solo.

Great new find was this London Underground Fabric which made seven unique little dresses.

HELLO 2014

After a very relaxing Christmas we took advantage of the in-laws staying and Harry and I went off to London for a few days.  How nice it was to wander the streets, child free stopping for drinks and food and a little bit of shopping when ever the mood took us.  Will have to do it again very soon!

First stop was salt beef sandwiches and coffee at Selfridges

My Sister Mabel has had a sale on during January, which has left me with very little stock (which is the idea) I'm now frantically putting together a lovely range of new dresses and tops both for ladies and "little ladies" and even a new bag or two, In the meantime I've been using up some of my scraps of vintage fabric to make these lovely little hairbands

Some of the most favourite books in our house are that of Roald Dahl, so when I spotted this fabric I had to buy half a metre of each and make up these drawstring bags.

Taking a break from all the rain, Sunday the sun shone and the girls and I went for a long walk along the beach and out onto the spit (which appears when the tides out)
