flea market finds

this little beauty is my fave find of the week. white wind up alarm clock made in czechoslovakia $2 at a local oppy. 

i love it. 

others in the house arent so keen with his ticking and i must admit i kept having little moments where id panic at the sound coming from the back seat while driving him home. now its grown on me and i find it quite soothing and as he now sits on my sewing table he doesnt bother anyone! : ) 

check out everyone elses market finds at sophies. 

handmade christmas challenge

i have a really bad habit of buying xmas cards at the last minute, writing in them all then not sending them. i have last years in my card box still waiting to be posted. thought about saving them for this year recycle in a sense but no just kidding i wont be doing that instead inspired by the handmade challenge at knicky knacks i though i'd make my own early this year using ex library picture story books, buy the stamps then i have no excuse!
join in the christmas handmade challenge at knicky knacks.

new inspiration

a lovely fellow colleague of mine informed me she will be purchasing some new home and craft books she found on decor8's blog and thought i may be interested when they come in. so after having a sticky beak around this beautiful and truly inspiring blog i am very keen to get my hands on these new books. i'm certain that very soon my bookdepository wishlist will grow more out of control ; ) enjoy

started back full time last monday. wasn't that fun!! 

anyway i'll stop whinging and get to the point i need help. 

tips, cheat sheets, advice, fail proof 5 minute recipes whatever it may be on how on earth people do this! work full time study part time run a house hold love educate cherish discipline encourage etc an 18 month old have some me time & sleep. people do it all the time i know they do but i'm still trying to figure out how. what's the trick? 

feist & sesame street

not that i need an excuse to watch sesame street, now that miss poppet is starting to take an interest however if i did this would be a fabulous one, feist and sesame street, a fabulous combination. its very addictive (poppet 2 mama 4) enjoy x

spinach

how do you get veggies into a little miss (poppet) who refuses to eat anything that is of course even remotely good for her?

you put it in chocolate!

i heard of this method years ago, (not sure where now) and thought remember that for 'one day' well my 'one day' has arrived it's at the end of my tether. and in the hopes of getting something into her that contains vitamins, calcium and iron i have combined chocolate muffins and spinach. they look 'normal' and taste 'normal'. i'll just have to wait to see if she thinks they are 'normal'.

flea market finds

this weeks fave flea market finds are going to go perfectly with the bedroom makeover instigated by the chair i bought a few weeks ago. as i'm going with a green/jade colour scheme i think these new pieces will work very well. all thats missing is a beautiful bunch of flowers to fill that milk jug! 

check out all the other flea market finds of the week over at sophies. i'd love to get my hands on something similar to the beautiful jug she found! 

made it...

...sold it!

how exciting i've now made two sales on madeit. i was told it would be a pretty amazing feeling when i sold something and it is! will have to pop a few new things on over the weekend. please pop back later and check them out. have a wonderful friday xo
