Sparkly Weather

I hate the cold weather, but I love the way everything looks in the frost and snow.

I think everything looks so sparkly and magical like there's tiny little diamonds sprinkled all over the place.

Here's some photos from my garden tonight...

Peek-a-boo!

Ruby Slippers - Part 2

I couldn't wait to get started on my Ruby Slippers.
I used nail glue to stick the jewels onto the shoes and it took a little practice and a lot of time and a whole heap of patience before I found my rhythm.

Here's the story so far...

Ruby Slippers - Part 1

There's no place like home...
     There's no place like home...

I'm like a magpie... I love sparkly things.  I also love The Wizard of Oz so I got myself on Ebay and got a new pair of red leather shoes for a crazy bargain price and some lovely pretty red gems and I'm ready to trot along the Yellow Brick Road to meet the Wizard!

Rediscovering pen and paper

Around the age of 8 I was very much into drawing, especially creating my own cartoon characters, mainly inspired by my HUGE Beano comic collection.  I even wrote to Jimmy Saville's 'Jim'll Fix It' because I wanted to draw cartoons with Rolf Harris although I never made it on the show!

With this in mind, yesterday I put pen to paper to see if I could still draw... and I must try and find some old cartoons.  I wonder what Rolf would think!?

Biscuits

One of my favourite treats is a cup of milky coffee with some (or a lot) of Fox's Golden crunch Creams.
If anyone knows how to make biscuits, it's Fox's!

Now, I should be learning my lines for the Gloucester Operatic Dramatic Society's next production 'Steel Magnolias', in which I play Truvy Jones, the owner of the local Beauty Parlor where the whole play is set.

Instead of line learning, I decided to become Mrs Fox's and make my own Shortbread Cream Biscuits!

 Not as good as the real deal, but still yummy!

Mini Wendy Woo

Now for more Amigurumi crochet creations.

I give you... me!!

Okay so I'm not really a naturist but I'm sure I'll get around to making some clothes at some point!

I lo

I loved making this so much that I think I'll have to start making mini friends too!

But first... clothes!

Marvelous moths

I've never really liked moths.  I can't explain why.

However, last night I noticed one one my back door window and after realising that they have have very sweet eyes, I decided I would try and get a few photos.

I was amazed at how lovely they look close up.  Admit it... You want a pet moth now!

Lovely Lilly's

Some photographs I've taken of Lilly's I was given recently...

Wendy's Walk of Fame

In Hollywood last month I saw more famous people than I can remember....
Actually, I tell a lie.  I saw more famous names in the ground than I can remember.

Here is my walk of fame, showing people I respect for various reasons, made up of just a few of the names I saw...
