Pastmastery's Blog Fabulous Giveaway...


Sue over at Pastmastery, is having the most fantastic give away on her blog. It is worth over £200.00.
I've been following Sue's blog from the beginning and it is full to the brim with Historic information and fabulous photographs. I for one have been fascinated with the History surrounding these Dummy Boards.
Sue, has decided that after Christmas, she is no longer going to make her exquisitely painted Dummy Boards.
Sue is the lady that painted the little Girl and Rocking Horse for Julie, for her Edwardian Toy Shop.
This is going to be every one's last chance to own one of Sue's Miniature Masterpieces.
I have entered Sue's give away, but it seems that the word hasn't got out there. It's not an easy question that Sue has posed, but the answer is there, somewhere in her blog.
So if you want a chance to win, please click on Sue's name anywhere in this post to be taken over to her blog page and the question for the give away.. Good Luck everybody....

Little Monsters..

Forgot to show you these.
As I said when Debie stayed, we played with the clay.
Debie makes the most fantastic eyes, that she uses for her sculpts. I know there are a few people, that like and use them. Personally, I think Debie should sell them.
She used a couple in these little Monster Bottles. They remind me of Mike Wazowski from Monsters Inc.
I know that Debie is in the throws of making some bits and pieces to put on Etsy. I can't wait to see what she comes up with.

Leather Books

Whilst I was in Cardigan the other day, doing some Christmas Shopping. I popped into the Dolls House Shop.
I wanted some wood, for a little project I'm working on. While I was having a good look round I spied this lovely little Leather Books. I think they will look perfect in either, Flourish & Blotts or The Toll House when its completed.

For Eeylops Owl Emporium

When Debie, went to Miniaturia this year to help out Mary. Mary's stall was right next to Lidi Stroud. (Mary I have to say that new drunken Doll you've made, reminds me of one of my friends, after she's been on the Tia Maria...Hic. I think you have a good idea whom I'm talking about..LOL).
You may know Lidi by her business name Nambuccas Little Shoppe. All three ladies Mary, Debie & Lidi are all A.I.M members.
Debie brought herself a beautiful Tribal pot, which she brought with her to show me, you can see similar one's on Lidi's web site and she brought this back for me, as an early Christmas Present. I'll leave it to Debie to show you what I brought her, for Christmas.
Isn't it fabulous?. I absolutely Love it, it has been so beautifully made. If you click on the pictures they will pop up bigger.
It will be taking pride of place in Eeylops Owl Emporium.
Thank you so much Debie. xxxx

Hatching Dragons..

When Debie and the girls came to stay with us, we did play with the clay.
I found a little basket that the handle had broken off and Debie made these little Hatching Dragon Eggs to go in there.

I had decided before Debie came that the Toll House, that I showed in a previous post, is going to be the home of a Witch, who's a bit singed around the edges and looks after orphaned baby Dragons.
I've been doing quite a few drawings, of how I want it to look and will share the whole making process, as I go along. Now you know why I've been buying so many Dragons from Tracie.
I'm hoping to get started on it shortly..

Poppet's New Witch...

When Debie came to stay a few weeks ago, she brought with her the Toe Collector Doll, a Pig and two Witches which she was working on.
Well today Debie, finished the Witch (Pennywort) riding the Pig. Its absolutely brilliant. The pig (Marvin), now has his reins on and the Witch is mounted on his back with her basket of Goodies.
Debie has also finished another Wickle Witch and her Pram. The little Witch reminds me of Debie's eldest Daughter Courtney, who is currently in Wales with my son Ben..
To see all the pictures and read the amusing story that goes with Debie's creations, please pop over to her blog. I think I'm right in saying that the Witch riding the Pig is For Sale...

Miniature Dragons...

I told you all that I've become totally addicted to Tracie's little Dragons. While I was looking in her Etsy shop a couple of weeks ago, I came across these two miniature Dragons.
I showed them to Mick and asked him which one he liked the best, as I couldn't make up my mind.
He told me to get both of them, well I didn't need telling twice. If you click on the pictures, they will pop up bigger.
I've just been over to have a look in Tracie's Etsy and she has another Miniature Dragon and some more baby Dragon's over there at the moment.
I must resist.....LOL

Under The Weather....

Just to let everyone know that I'm still alive and kicking but feeling pretty miserable and under the weather at the moment.
As quite a few of you already know, after I had the Angiogram's on the 28th October, I was in quite a lot of pain in my arm and ended up being taken into Hospital on Sunday. They put me on a drip and put my arm up in the air. They thought that I'd had a bleed in the arm that had got into my muscles, causing compartment syndrome. Well what ever it is, its the Pain from Hell. I came home late on Tuesday, dosed up with Morphine and enough Painkillers to down an Elephant. It's still bad but it is easing.
Thank you to everyone that has sent Get Well Wishes, emails, cards, and telephoned. I'm finding it too painful to sit on the Computer for long, and seem to have got up this morning with a temperature, so might not be around for a few more days... Hopefully catch up with you all soon.. xxx
