nina's creative space

i can feel cabin fever setting in!!!

so our day went like this:

• we walked & rode our oh so pink, spoky doky, tassly, girly bike to the milk bar for an icypole
• i did a load of washing only to have it dumped on by a huge thunder/rain storm
• did the dishes
• cheese n bickys for lunch
• had a great cup of coffee x2
• made 8 necklaces
• made nina a shirred flower dress with collecting pockets (you know for feathers, pebbles, sand etc)

so while i was doing all this i kind of lost track of what nina was upto, she would wander in and out of my sewing room to collect cotton & buttons and stickers etc.......... she was decorating the tv! how fabulous! so the tv is wrapped in cotton & shirring thread, stickers & my favorite has to be the lavender pies she made out cupcake patties. but the best bit of all is that she pulled those glary tassel things off her bike, yes they have made a mess but at the least the bike isnt so princessy anymore.

and so now the car.............there is no car til next week GOD HELP ME!!!!!

VINTAGE BUNTING GIVE - AWAY

a

it is the festive season

& i thought it would be nice to spread some joy.

I would love for someone to decorate their garden or home with this gorgous vintage bunting. Made from one of my nana's brand new still in plastic vintage sheeting! (yes you could imagine my happiness when I discovered this find in her linen cupboard.) Nina and I have hung ours outside in the garden between the trees for afternoon tea a few times. Measuring 230cm long with 7 flags being 28cm long & comes in a little matching draw string bag, that you could use for just about anything.

If you would like to go in the draw, just leave a comment and you're in! or post about it in your blog and I will put you in the draw twice (let me know when you comment) Nina and I will draw the winner the old fashioned way out of a hat in 10 days, Tuesday 8th December and post it to the lucky winner that day.

there are also a couple available at Mama Made That! on madeit
