Still life...

Pink & Black 

... I like that song... Caroline, I think...

so I made some things, all Pink and Black and Stained with Tea

attached millions of beads and frills and shiny bits

dyed by hand... stamped them too with butterflies...

So come see my shop all filled up :

www.flutterbydaisy.etsy.com

Some have already gone, flown away and found some homes, so be quick, or just wait a week or so, because then there will be more, not the same though; One Of A Kind, but just as new and just as Wonderland... I think the next batch will be of White and Cream and Tea Stain with Pearls... but we shall see... I'll aim for this Wednesday coming I think.

I've found a new favourite thing to do:

Dream about all the pretty things I'll buy

And put in place in a little house

All lovely and perfect

Here are two little collages I made, they are my best so far.  I found all the delights in Etsy Land - if you'd like to know the details, where they came from and how/where to buy, go take a sneaky peek at the 'Items I Love' section via my etsy profile, or here:

Items I Love

These weeks I've finally gotten inspiration; it's come back again, or at least I can hear it now, or see it, whichever... and all the lovely things I find will keep the dark away, like magic.

Pretty Painting by

Tales from The Treehouse

There was a caterpillar in my broccoli today.  He played dead.  'How do you do?...' he was smaller than that one though, and bright green... I wonder what kind of butterfly he will be... one of those white ones I think with black spots on that rest on cabbages.

I'm trying to give up coffee, but it's not going very well... think I'm all fuzzy.  Which is good for inspiration; I really want to make some art, proper painting type art, so I'm going to do it.  Soon.  And a book, another book, but a picture book... with a DVD of all my little films and more...

I'm going to paint all the walls too, and cover them in stuff, framed stuff.  I'll find all that on Etsy, because I may as well, as I live there mostly.

Tales From The Treehouse

Too many ideas and thoughts: I prefer the ideas, they're the ones that keep the thoughts at bay.
She watched all the people in the real world, from a distance, then realised she wants to be even further away.  Remembering when you first told me and wondering how and now knowing and still wondering, but this time I have a plan, my own plan, a plan where you can come if you like; A vintage nick-nack boat in the woods and big fluffy bear-dogs in fields, secret tree-houses and giant tipis, candle light and midnight fires, no roads for miles and miles and miles, someone will be crying there one day, but they will be wrapped in crochet kisses.

Roses are Red, and Pink, and Yellow...

Kimberley came to play in my garden, 

she brought balloons and a special gift tied with a big red bow.

This is her first time modelling and she was perfect
