My next mosaic was to give me a bit of inspiration to finish sorting out the doll room (which I'm happy to say is nearly finished). I love seeing pretty, organized rooms. I wish my whole house could look like this, yeah right that's never gonna happen lol.

Arty Farty Friday

Ok Arty Farty Friday here we are. I thought I'd share a couple of my new favorite artists seeing as I haven't done anything crafty for a while to be able to share with you.

First up we have fello Aussie Kate Mason from Scrapps Flea Market on Etsy. I just love this girls style so colourful, fun and whimsical. I like mixed media art and she does it so well. I'd really like to get some of these prints to hang on my eldest daughters wall.

The last one reminds me of me and my daughters <3

The next one is an artist I only just discovered the other day through Instagram. Her instagram name is Spooksieboo and she has an etsy shop called Moonlit Art Shop. What I really love is her spooky caricatures and she does family portraits, so as soon as her shop opens again (she is closed for vacation) I am going to get a family portrait done!

Wish List Wednesday

Haven't done a wish list Wednesday in such a long time. Thought it might be good to try and get back into regular posting again on here, so I'm starting with Wish list Wednesday and hopefully on Mondays I'll have Monday Mosaic and on Fridays Arty Farty Friday.

Ok so what am I lusting after this week well first off it has to be this cute Cath Kidston bag (which I did order hehe). I seem to be on a bit of a handbag buying spree at the moment.

Secondly I love this wig! I saw it on someone's doll on Flickr and fell in love with it. So pretty, and who wouldn't want rainbow colored hair!

Fairy lights, yep fairy lights. I need to find a nice strand to hang on the top of my big Expedit. So far around here they are proving hard to find.

This little Dream High Studio doll popped up in my Flickr photostream and I did a double take! Such a cute tiny little fae. If I had a spare $275 I would be ordering her. She is so delicate and other wordly.

Lastly Disney Store Villain collector dolls! OMG! Love them especially Maleficent and the Queen of Hearts.

August Photo Theme

Thank you to everyone who posted pics for July, it came and went so fast!

Ok this months was chosen by the lovely panda_cupcakes

The theme for August is PLACES - As in forest, garden, somewhere in your home where you relax.

July Photo Challenge ~ Stories from the Sea

Gosh two posts in one day! What has come over me?! Hehe

Thank you so much Carolyn for choosing this months photo theme. I did want to use pearls for this shot and I knew I had a very long strand of pearls that would have been perfect but do you think I could find them, no :o( So then I remembered I had these clear marbles which I use in vases to keep flowers upright and waalaa instant watery bubbles. This is Monster High Lagoona Blue (sea monster) repainted by Retrograde, isn't she dreamy, she reminds me of an 80's version of Madonna :o)

Wish List Wednesday....and a few other tidbits ;o)

Yay my first wishlist Wednesday :D

I'm not really sure what I'm wishing for lately but I know I'm hankering for a new dolly of some sort. I've been buying a lot of Monster High dolls lately and by a lot I mean this many...

I'd really like to get a MH Venus and the Werecat Twins so I guess they are my wishlist dolls at the moment. I'd really like to get one of Marmite Sue's Angel Egg dolls too, so fingers crossed she gets her online store up and running soon :o)

I'm waiting until I move my doll room to the spare bedroom so I can unpack everything and display them all properly. I haven't been able to do the new doll room because we had family come to stay with us for my birthday party which was last weekend. It was the big 4 0 so I thought I better do something for it so we threw a big party and it was great fun.

 

My dress was from a UK company called Hell Bunny, I am officially addicted to their dresses and petticoats they are so much fun to wear, great for parties. The cake was made by my dear best friend, three delicious layers of chocolate mudcake.

So I'm 40 now, I hope that doesn't mean I have to start growing up lol ;o)

July Photo Theme

A big thank you to the lovely Carolyn over at Littlegretel Dolls for choosing this months theme. The theme for July is Stories from the Sea. Have fun! :o)
