Art in the Wendy House

Here's something I made before I went to hospital. I know, I have to stop making so many blurry photos, I need some help!

Anyway it's a slide with a picture of girls bound in copper tape. I gave it to my aunt for her birthday. The words stamped say, Fun Friendship and Giggle. I do hope she liked it.

The other card is of the Stamp-It hat. I love this image as you can do so much with it. This was the card for the M-I-L. She is a very old fashioned and this image suits here. I stamped the words fashion and style around the card as it's her to a tee.

I Think I'm Famous

I keep forgeting to tell you. The Wendy House has been published! I was asked if I would be prepared to have a story written about me and the Wendy House for the Spotlight publication get creative. They were doing an article about women and their sheds and they were looking for creative sheds. And I was asked if I would participate. How could I say no to a request like that. The editor came and met me and the Wendy House and was thrilled. The article had three other sheds in it including the famous Dale Rollerson from the Thread Studio. It was a big honour to be asked.
Anyway, its now out on the stands as it's in the September issue. Check it out. It's got some great other articles in it,but of course mine is the best.
See you round.

The Wendy House

One of the advantages of "resting" is that I can play in The Wendy House. Yes I hear you ask, what's The Wendy House?


It's 'my studio' however the family have taken it over and it's now a shared studio with DH and 2 DS's. It was originally the garage but as the car was never in it, it became the dumping area for all things outside. We decided, after friends did a reno on one of their old sheds, to make the room more user friendly , hence the Wendy House plan came together. I sketched out what I wanted and friends of ours who have a building company (Always Better Carpentry) helped me plan and build it. I have to say it's one of the best things we ever did! It has a toliet, kitchen sink, heaps of cupboards and storage areas as well as deep benches to work on, heating and cooling.


All my craft friends are so jealous of it and we just love it. One day I'll show you a photo of it.


I called it the Wendy House cause it's cute. I remember reading a book one day about the Two Young Princess's and they had a Wendy House in the grounds of Buckingham Palace and wishing that I could have something like that when I was little. I have since found out that the Lost Boys built a house for Wendy on the island and the English call their cubby houses Wendy Houses . People just love it and I love the fact that I can use it and get away from the family at the same time. I will have to clean it up or attempt to as I can never find anything when I want it.


I have had a chance to have a 'play' and make some cards. I will try and post some photos soon.
