Fresh Out Of The Mold

Some new resin pieces I popped out today....





Played around with my new cross mould...







I have some more in the freezer waiting to be unstuck.... Will post soon!
So what do you think?
Do you think the top two would be better as fridge magnets or pendants?

:)

Finally Some Freedom!

For the last few days I have been stuck in the house.
Sick. Cough cough.
Rain. Trying to mow lawn before landlord goes nuts on us.
Broken tap. Being given a time frame of "today or maybe tomorrow". Unable to leave because of wishy washy plumber. (Yeah I did say that and I know it is bad!)
Plumber finally came. So did bath time.
Did I mention it was the hot tap that was dribbling away for hours?
We turned the water off, but then was told to leave it on while the waiting game was being played.
The kettle was utilized.
The baby cried. Tired, grumpy, hungry.
The bath was filled, shallow.
At the end of the day I sighed as I made my way to a hot shower.
Oh yeah....It heats up overnight. No hot shower for me.

Today as my first day of freedom (though I am still sick I just HAD to get out) I went for a walk and took some photos on the way....







Then I did a bit of light reading....



I LOVE this book. It was the best Christmas gift ever.

I realized for the first time since school I am actually using the diary I bought....



Maybe because it has such pretty photos of things I yearn for...



Someday I will bring in a basket of fresh veges from my garden.

In the waiting I also finally glued magnets to my resin coated scrabble tiles I made so long ago. I was going to make them into a necklace but I love them on the fridge.



They fit in so well with my other resin magnets...



And after days of trying to figure out why my camera would not connect to my laptop I tried it with our big desktop....And amazingly it worked fine! The laptop is pretty stuffed and full of nasty things so the lovely husband is wiping it tonight. He is just waiting for me to get off the computer......

We Have Winners!

Thank you to everyone who entered!
It was great to read so many comments and ideas for changes for my shop.
I have already started to implement a few changes.
I played around in photoshop for a while and have created a few banners so sometime soon I would love to post them and get people to vote on which they like best. I am terrible aat choosing as Ican't help liking the all!
I am trying to regularly add new items, I do have lots waiting to be done but I have been so super busy.
My father (who lives in London) came over for a visit the last few days and finally got to meet his granddaughter. It was a great few days I wish were much longer.

And now onto the fun part!
I have done ye olde write names on paper and draw from hat method as I have seen way too many doomsday/terminator/robot movies to trust computers with such an important task.
Yes my imagination can run away with me but I promise you I am not insane. Well not completely insane. :)

So the names were ready in the hat.....



And here is the winner of the Apple & Orange Pendant Set:

And the winner of the Pear & Orange Pendant Set:



PERFECT BLUE MOON!!

Congratulations to the winners, I will be contacting you to get addresses and send your pendants out on Monday!

I Think I'm In Love....

Etsy is a wonderful place full of so many treasures. I have spent hours burying myself in these treasures, wishing, wanting and craving.
I stumbled upon this awesome seller Innerearthsoaps and it was love at first sight.

The Lemon Vanilla teases me with its delicious scent, I think this one I would be tempted to eat!



The Charcoal Complexion looks amazing and sounds like it could do my poor little face some good!



And I love My Sweet Heart! It would be a perfect Valentine's day gift. I would give it to my man just to see him politely put it in the shower and let me use it all for him. Aww sweetness.



And for those of us who have trouble deciding between all the yummy soaps she has to offer.....There is the Soap Sampler Pack. Perfect for guests too, show them some love with handmade soap, they will fell spoilt!



Her blog keeps you up to date on what she has been making.....And provides many more photos to drool over!
And if you would like to use Aussie dollars you can visit her other shop here.

Thank you so much to Erin from Innerearthsoaps for letting me use her photos and giving me permission to go on a little rant about her soaps.


Now I am going back to bed, it has been an exhausting morning after an exhausting day. We had a wedding yesterday and my newly acquired cold has been bothering me a bit too.
Hopefully today I will manage to list some new stuff in my shop but since we have church, then most likely some chatting with the friends afterwards and then cleaning to do I might have to wait until tonight when the little one is asleep.
