A new Banner

I woke up this morning and there was a surprise awaiting me in my email box. A wonderful friend of mine offered to make a new banner and avatar for my etsy shop and i was so excited, i had to download it in my shop right away. I thought it would look fabulous here too ! I loved my other blog banner, but i needed a new look. I know nothing about photoshop so help from Anna was a God's sent. She is such a wonderful person... I am really busy these days. The weather finally warmed and spring time is gorgeous ! I have spent a lot of time outdoors lately, working on new flower beds, my new veggie garden and herb garden. I always wanted to make a herb garden, but did not have the space at my other home. Moving to a new place is so much fun, because you are starting everything anew. And i found the perfect place for my herb garden. I will show you when everything is done. I am also sewing new projects, more dolls and other stuff. Don't forget to come back here from time to time. I still want to make my next giveaway, i just did not make my choice on the product yet.

swap goodies

I swapped once and it was really fun and nice to share something with someone else. Unfortunately, i lost track with this nice lady living somewhere in the USA. Than i swapped with Anna
and it was really, really special. Swapping is fun, especially if you still keep in touch with the person. I became very fond of Anna and i hope we can be real friends even if we are miles apart. I received her package way before i managed to send mine to her and i always meant to show you what delightful goodies she gave me. Here are all the lovely things i received from this oh ,so lovely friend.

I love the little birdie keychain she made, look at the sweet tea bag holder and you should smell the bag of "herbe de provence" and the tea !!! I did not taste the tea yet, simply because i love the package just the way it is and the smell invaded my studio, it is heavenly ! Soon i will have to indulge in a nice cup of tea in one of my best cup. Sorry, the chocolate is all gone, not one crumb remains, it was so yummy. And look at the sweet house she made. Isn't that ever adorable ? I hung it in a special place of my studio, so whenever i am there working, i can admire this adorable house and think of her. I feel privileged and very happy to have met her. Thank you Anna, you are a sweetheart!
I know, i was not suppose to blog, but to concentrate on some work. I'm going, I'm going !

American idol

http://www.americanidol.com/videos/season_8/performances/adam_lambert_mad_world

I never really liked this program, but always watched it, because my hubby is such a great fan. However, i must say that this season, i never miss one program because of this talented young guy. He never ceases to surprise us every week, he is just fabulous, perfect ! I beleive he is the next american idol.

Enjoy everyone ! ♥

The weather has been really rainy and cold for the past few days and i must say i feel a bit depressed. I had to push myself to work on some dolls and decided to put my energy into finishing severals of these tiny dolls that were hiding in my old armoire for a very long time. I wanted to show these 2 muffin pies to you before i put them up for sale in my shop tomorrow. I have a couple more that needs a bit of a makeover, but i will work on them tomorrow.

Have a nice evening ladies. :)
