I am so happy to showcase my first featured artist CAROLINE of SHOP CINDERELLA MOMENTS.  Caroline is fast developing a reputation for creating one of a kind doll houses that we could only dream of owning when we were little girls.

Every dollhouse created by SHOP CINDERELLA MOMENTS is more beautiful than the last.  Take a moment to visit and you will not be disappointed.

You can buy CAROLINE'S dollhouses HERE.

You never know you might find your own one of a kind dream dollhouse just waiting there for you......  Though I cannot guarantee the Prince!

HAPPY TO SHARE......

I just wanted to take a moment to share with you this lovely Santa spun cotton ornament that was made by a lady called Pat.

Pat purchased from me two of my spun cotton tutorials and has gone on to create some wonderful holiday ornaments. I cannot thank Pat enough for all of the encouraging comments that she has sent to me and also the wonderful photographs of her creations.

I hope that Pat continues to enjoy this fulfilling craft, thank you again for sharing!

HOW TO MAKE A SPUN COTTON ORNAMENT......

I think it is beginning to feel a lot like Christmas, cool air and days that are getting shorter.  Just in time for the holiday season are these detailed instructions on how to make a spun cotton Santa figure.  What could be a nicer way to start the holiday season off than making your own special Christmas decoration and not something massed produced from China.

Enjoy creating many different Santa's from this great tutorial and have fun changing the faces, colors and trims.

Have a great holiday and Christmas season and enjoy!

WHAT ARE YOUR DREAMS AND ASPIRATIONS

Dreams and aspirations, we all have them and like so many of our dreams they get locked away for another day. 

Well my dream and aspiration is become a craft book writer, when I first had the idea five years ago it was very much a dream in the distant future.  I had always my whole life created and crafted things from an early dolls house to little people made with the old clothes pegs.  For my sister and I there was nothing better than getting our hands covered in paint and glue.

For me the craft book tutorials that you will find on this blog are that dream.  Will they sell? will people want to make my creations? Only time will.
