Finally I found tools to carve the way cool stamp blocks I got from Dudley Redhead at the show. And wacko whadya know I can carve stamps. So here's my reindeer bonus for you if you swing on into to Coco's Closet I can gift wrap all your christmas purchases (purchases from Coco's of course).
Here's our snow globe... I quiet like it. What do you think?
Sorry for the ordinary photos, my window is tinted so it's not great for photo op's however Christmas and the silly season has dropped into Coco's Closet. Now I know it's the silly season but really I am prone to the silly season all year round, he'll my life my be one big silly season!
If you happen to pop in I have christmas gift bags that inspire and also take the hassle out of your wrapping, like things that go together but not too matchy, then look no further gift cards in French even sometimes I just astound myself knowing another language!!! LOL.
Stella's brothers and sisters are in full swing inthe window and I've heard at night they play the soundtrack to Mumma Mia til all hours.
I made red trees yesterday to hang some decorations and the photos don't do them justice but they look groovy.
I also made a jam jar snow globe which was a cool craft for me and the kids. All you need is a clean jar with a metal screw top lid, glue an ornament to the lid(my impatience I used super glue) and make sure the glass will fit over the ornament, don't use a metal one- rust and all that, wait for the glue to dry. Fill the glass jar with distilled water, a little glitter(don't go overboard here people- less is more) and a drop of glycerin(it helps the glitter fall slowly) screw your lid back on the jar and wahla you have your very own snow globe. Way cool! Plus you can put your own spin on it however you like, they look so much more spec when you've done it yourself. Will post my picture of our girl later.
All set, good to go. Rain needs to stay away pleeeeeeease.
I bought some Christmas decorations with me and they will be in store next week. It's a bit early to think about how many sleeps but I know it's just around the corner!!!!
These Nymphettes from Mrs.Shepherd have taken up residency in Coco's Closet. Gertrude and Wilfred are bound to lead Stella astray....Just get a look at their cheeky wee lil' smirks. Aren't they fabulous??? they are both two very different gals. They have been lovingly hand painted by Mrs.Shep herself and I am so proud to be stocking them.
Psssst.... I have some uber cool, totally awesome original artwork by Mrs. Shep too. It is the best. It looks amazing hung in the store, I love it all.... to bits. (will take some snaps and give you a look)
Well I am a little chuffed. Tomatoes, capsicum, basil, onions, garlic, carrots and pretty lavendar all are sitting quaintly in my veggie patch. I wonder if they will be ready tomorrow? Patience is not a strong point with me.... with a bit of luck they'll be ready in time for Christmas and my fabulous tomato relish will hit stores, namely 1 store - of course.
Have also been doing a spot of sewing some new tooth fairy pillows- denim teeth with eyes and wee lil pockets on the back fir those sweet lil teeth.
Lots more new stuff in the pipeline.... Coming to you real soon
Have to go and cheer on James the local boy from Wingham on Idol. Go James!!
