First Day of Christmas!

It is the 1st of December and I finished my Hutch this morning just in the nick of time! I am so pleased with it and I am really in the Christmas mood now. Unfortunately we have had so much snow we can't go out and get our Christmas tree , which we usually do on the 1st. So it is going to have to wait a few days or so.

Here is the Christmas Hutch in all its sparkling glory!

I absolutely loved making these fairy cakes and painted the decorations to go in top.

I used triple thick which came in the Art Deco kit from LadyBug on the trivets so they actually look enamelled.

This is the photo that Clive took of the top yard this morning! I love the perfect shape of snow on the table top. We have had constant snow since. Clive had to dig out the rabbit hutch as we could only see the top two inches. Poppy was quite relieved to see us.

The patchwork is all pieced and this was my final arrangement. It just needs edging now and then it can go on my craft table!

I am now back off to sit by the fire and finish the 144th scale pot plants that I am working on for my Baby House.

An Utterly Betterley Week

This week has been a dream of building Betterley kits! I am really getting on with the Xmas Hutch as the 1st December is nearly here. I have been sat in front of a roaring fire looking out at the snow outside and sprinkling glitter - sigh - wonderful!

Here is the hutch in all its glory. It needs a little work on the hinges but is so nearly there.

The icicles are magical!

I have also been working on some Lydia Pickett kits and have finished a few. Here is the bathroom screen, laundry tote and some artwork for the walls.

Then onto Emmas bedroom shelf. It is ready to pop the things on the shelf.

The little lamb pull toy is just gorgeous. Here it is on a ten pence piece so you can see how small it is! Also the gold 'E' for Emma!

This is Emmas dolls bed as featured in the story that comes with Emmas bedroom. It is so tiny and cute, I cannot wait to put it in her room.

Lastly but most definitely not least because this kit really was a dream to do. No Lydia yet though you will have to wait for her!

You can't really see it but there is a wonderful rug inside - I just love the little touches.
