Camera Still not working - so did some home baking!

My camera still isn't working so looks like I'll have to buy a new one. Really don't like having to put time into hunting around for new camera when I could be doing other more creative and interesting things.

I did manage to take some pics though of some baking I did before the camera packed it in. Baking is another of my passions and I always like to have things on hand in the freezer for when they're needed.

I love baking scones, all that rubbing in of butter and flour and kneading of dough is therapeutic for me ( not to mention eating them too !! Tee Hee!!) Even though I love the process of making them, that doesn't mean they always turn out right. With me, they are always a bit of a lucky dip.

But this time they turned out just perfect!!     Sultana Scones!! Mmmmm!

Bring on the Jam & Cream!! Will start diet next week!! Lol!!

Teddy Bear Chair for Ebay

Have completed the chair and it's now available in my ebay for you to purchase. How cute does it look with the little bears on it. (Sorry but they're not included)

I'll also be sending my shabby rose photo frame and mirror to ebay tonight. So just click on my ebay link to have a peek at what I've got on at the moment.

Was so pleased that I'd taken all the photos I needed for ebay as my camera has packed up. Can't do a thing with it!! Haven't had it that long really, only 4 or 5 years, things aren't made to last any more. Looks like a trip to the camera shop tomorrow!

The chair is now sold thankyou!

Teddy Bear Chair for Ebay

I've been busy shabbying up this cute little old teddy bear seat and I thought I'd give you a little preview before I list it on ebay.
It's almost finished except for the little bear with the golly girl.
I'm happy with the way it's coming along and I love the pinks and greens of the bears and golly's clothing.
I just need to work out what I'm going to paint around the top edge of the seat and also it needs something at the sides of the legs.You can click on the image for a larger view of the painting, but please respect copyright laws by not copying my work, thankyou.
'Shabbying' things up is lots of fun and something I really enjoy doing. I especially enjoy searching for old wares that would be suitable for doing up in this way, and then painting them in my favourite antique white, or crisp white and then sanding this off around the edges. The finished result is very pleasing.
If you have any questions about purchasing this item you can email me at robyn238@gmail.com or just leave a comment and I'll get back to you.

A Morning at the Beach

 
We've had such a hot humid summer here this year, so this morning my hubby and I took time out and headed off to our favourite beach to cool off. It was such a beautiful day and we felt so fortunate to live just a short drive away from this beautiful beach. The water was so refreshing and we returned home feeling relaxed and much, much cooler! And no sorry that isn't me with the surfboard!! If only Lol!!!
