Introducing Miss Marguerite

I received a package the other day to create a cow called Miss Marguerite, who when finished is a mere 60cm tall, sporting her new dress, blouse, baggy pants and leggings so I have been a tad occupied with making her up, have to say the head was the worst part but after that it was  all pretty much plain sailing. She is heading back home next week and I am hoping  she will enjoy her new life and family in Paris. Time to have a tidy up and decide what my next project will be.

Happy Sunday

I am sure the 40's Styles are coming our way again..... Hope so

I was at a car boot sale last week and saw a lady wearing the same hair style as the woman top left of this post and it reminded me so much of my mother, my mum told me when she rolled her hair she used cotton wool inside one of her stockings to give the hair a lift. I love these dresses and I would definately wear either of them  but particularily the one on the left.

I love the jumpsuits and that suit with the V panel front is just stunning, and lastly the gorgoeus Betty Grable with her fabulous hairstyle. Looking at this made me sad I cut my hair, but with my very curly hair I dont think I could ever have the patience to try to tame it enough to get it to look so stylish. Do you have a favourite era?

You could Tie This at Home

Yesterday I found in a second hand shop eight pure silk ties and had to buy them, why? ask me another, I have no idea I just loved the colours. So what can you do with ties? well I popped over to Pinterest and I am just amazed at what people have come up with, such clever and imaginative ideas and certainly food for thought. It did cross my mind to use them to cover one of my chairs, but at the moment I have no idea what I will do with them,but one day I may just have to try out one of these projects, I love the bedspread and the rug is well pretty. Have you made anything with ties? would love to see. Just made a new cushion cover and a small cushion from them, picture at bottom of page.  Bea now very comfortable, strange she never sat on this chair before!
