Spring giveaway !!!

As promised, here are the pretty pencil case i have been working on last week. I am quite satisfied with the results and to celebrate the spring season, i decided i would give away one of those lovely case.

I call them pencil case, but these lovely cases would be perfect to carry your scissors, your favorites DPN'S, your paint brushes or even your reading glasses.

All you have to do is put a comment in my blog, you can even mention which one you prefer and on April 1st, i will announce the winner of this giveaway. The winner will be allowed one case of her ( or his ) choice.
As an extra gift, i will fill the case with some goodies, but that will remain a secret. The winner may show her little secret gift in her blog later when she receives her giveaway.


So for those of you who loves to participate in giveaways, which i think is so much fun, you have until march 31st to post your comment. Good luck to all of you . I also want to menton this is my first time that i will be giving something and i would like to repeat this at least one more time before the summer vacation.

*** much love to all ***

A spring giveaway !!!

Hello everyone, i hope all of you are doing great and enjoying the first signs of spring. I know some of you , lucky ones, probably already started cleaning up flower beds and maybe even some of you started planting. Oh, i wish i lived in a place where winters would be much shorter. Spring is here too, but snow here melts in such a slow pace and days are not warming up quickly enough. It was still very cold this morning when i left for work. ( -8 ) I am longing for a warm spring breeze so i can sit in the sun and indulge in some vitamins. We are all very tired of the long winter that never seems to end. It is a good thing i have so many things to keep me busy inside. Last week, i have been sewing some pretty pencil case in various fabric and colors and i thought to myself ; " Ohhh, these would make a nice little givaway ! " I have been thinking of doing one for quite a while now, just could not make up my mind. So today, i am going to take pictures for you all to see and the winner will get the chance to choose one in the batch.
I will try and post by the end of today with all the details, so ladies, keep your eyes open !
** Have a great day everyone ! **

new dolls for my shop

I can't say i have been lazy since my hubby went back to work. I finally finished painting the walls of my studio, i painted some ugly furniture to give them a new life, did some sewing and knitting for my shop and working on a swap i am sharing with a dear friend. I am almost done with this swap actually, ( i know Anna, i thought it would be ready way before today. But I am getting there ! ) I wish i were a little more organized and try to blog on a more regular basis.

But i promise i shall make every effort to improve my bad and lazy behavior...Now...I have to show you my new dolls and PLEASE, PLEASE !!! i need comments...LOTS !!! This is my first attempt at painting and i am aware i still have a long way to go before the results are satisfying. I know, i need time to gain experience, and confidence in my creativity. So anyhow, any advices would be mostly welcome. This would make me happy and grateful...Many thanks...


I talked to my sweet daughter on the net yesterday. ( Oh, by the way, she is having a giveaway contest ) She lives and studies in Brussels, so luckily we have the net and a cam so we can talk, see each other and send kisses too. :) I took the opportunity to show her my dolls and asked for advices. She is such a talented artist. I wish she lived closer to me, she would make such a great teacher. I will be making more painted dolls, i have some ideas sprouting in my little head and i feel very fidgety and excited to start all of my projects.

These 2 dolls will be up for sale in my shop today, so if any of you reading this post are interested, you are most welcome to visit. My shop is a bit out of date and neglected, but i will be adding some more new stuff by the end of next week.

I know i should have taken most of the winter to create new stuff, but i have been mostly buzy cleaning up and painting rooms since we moved in october. I don't know if it is because of spring coming, but now i have this burst of energy and i want to make tons of things, whether it be decorating the house or create with my hands. I bought 2 varieties of basil seeds and i cannot wait to start my seedlings inside. I intend to make a nice herb garden and basil is one, if not, my favorite of all. The snow is melting slowly, but steadily and i am confident that by April, we should see lots of grass and warmer weather. I started seeing some " new " birds, those we don't see during the cold months of winter. Oh ! By the way, those of you who had readmy post on this mistery about no birds coming to my feeder, well, they finally came ! Whew ! I feel better now. I was getting anxious that they did not like my birdfeeder. I have been doing some research on the web to see which plants and bushes will attract them . I will go to the nursery as soon as i can start playing in the dirt. Creating new bedflowers and gardens will be so much fun...

Well, well, time is flying rapidly. I have a really busy schedule today, so i will leave you here, hoping to come back soon with more exciting news...Ha, ha, ha !!! I still have work to do to improve the look of my studio, but soon i will be taking pictures to show you my little paradise.

***Be good my sweets***
