feeling inspired

so because of this very excited young man
who just started school and is apparently
now already cleverer than his sister

same mess different location!

my work desk is in it's new location and
probably because {believe it or not} my desk was tidy
i've been feeling inspired to create "stuff"
during my massive tidying and sorting session
i unearthed a batch of glass bottles
which i've been saving for years
just waiting for inspiration!

here's what i came up with
they aren't finished and i think they are one of those projects
that don't have an easy finishing point

i'm going to hang some little charms around the necks of these

and this one will be sporting a pair of wings

i couldn't resist adding a doily to this one!

i'm just looking for the perfect "something" to fill this gap

i've really enjoyed making these and i think i'll be making some with a slightly more steam punky feel to them,
'cause i also unearthed a jar labelled "rusty old stuff"
see i was right everything has a use!

more of my workspace

somewhere along the line i seem to have become a doll collector
i don't know quite how this has happened to me
i have always gently mocked my Mum
for her own collection of dolls
and somehow this has happened!
Well they do say we turn into our mothers!

lovely fabric and new crafting

gorgeous fabric.
