I've had a good clear up!

Holiday over, back to work and school tomorrow (ugh!) but the house is clean and tidy and I've managed to get some time in my workroom.

I bought this book probably two years ago now mainly because Alice spotted that there was a kit to make the bag in it....well I finally got round to making it this weekend, I'm not so sure that Cath Kidson is all the rage now but Alice will be pleased I'm sure.

 

And another sort out in my renovation box, I acquired these lovely composition vintage dolls some time ago but they all need a bit of work to tidy them up and give them a bit of a refresh, I'm looking forward to spending a bit of time on them.

My poor little Christmas Fairy!

Happy new year one and all.

I've spent today putting all the Christmas decorations away and thinking about what a lovely time we all had.

However, I haven't packed my poor little fairy away. This little fairy was bought for me for my first Christmas, so now at the ripe old age of 51, I think it's about time she had a makeover...well, perhaps I need one too!

So this is my first task for this year, and my fairy will look magnificent for next year.

She originally looked like this but with a white dress made of tissue paper. She has had several doily dresses since then and she lost her wand many years ago. The challenge is on to get her looking as near as I can to how she was originally.
