More Secret Books and More Little Sheep

Spurred on by having so much fun with the Bunny Tails Secret Book the other day I have plunged into another one. This one is called Herbs and Teas. I love the artwork on the cover it is beautiful. You can always count on the Betterleys to do these things to perfection.




This is the back cover which I think is just gorgeous.


Inside....


Downstairs ....


Upstairs ...


Then it was onto the furniture. First the Tincture Cabinet. I think it is wonderful that the bottles are carved out in the piece of wood and not just a picture to stick in. They look wonderful, you cannot tell from this photo just how small this piece is and how tiny (and therefore difficult to paint!) the bottles are.



The bedspread has lovely sunflowers all over it. Here is the bed on an English two pence piece to give you an idea of scale.


All the furniture so far. Maybe at the weekend I will get chance to finish this lovely little project off.


I have also finished my Little Sheep of the month cross stitch. Just in the nick of time as the third one landed on my doorstep just as I was putting the last stitches in.
