At The Beach

Last weekend was hectic due to making loads of head dresses for the school production of Joseph, so this weekend I decided to have a few hours by myself, just to chillout & get some practise in with my new camera.

A few coconuts

It was a lovely morning at the Whitsundays, just coming into winter aren't I lucky :)

I was going to do a bit of beach combing but you know somethings just have to be left on the beach.

My trusted friend Bellatrix had a great time & needed a bit of a rest,   She slept all afternoon, we had a great time; thanks Jeanne  for suggesting I get out this weekend.

Gift Set

I was asked to put together a gift for my friend's niece, Imogen.   I know she believes in fairys and as she gets older the tooth fairy will be paying a visit.   How we hate our kid's teeth falling out; I know, but it"s inevitable, it will happen.

I decided to make a pillow she could hang on the bottom of her bed or on the door handle of her bedroom.

A little heart pocket would be nice place for the tooth to be put, and has plenty of room for the coins to be left in, or a little gift depending on which tooth fairy is visiting.

The Rattledoll and the drawstring bag are both Maison Chic, which are gorgeous accessories for any girls bedroom. 

Please contact me at the Feathered Nest for any custom, or gifting, orders for pillows 

Happy Birthday Imogen, enjoy your gift!

Hooked on houses

It's Sunday morning & I thought I would have a blogging morning.  The way I am going, its going to last all day; so much to live up to.

I have found some exceptional bloggers that are ooozing talent.  I have so much inspiration going through my head at the moment, it's spining.

A lady called Julie has this blog Hooked on Houses.  My gosh it's full of fantastic homes, I am so addicted; you have to go see.  I have just brought a block of land & will be hoping to build some time this year so I will be looking all the time now for ideas.

I found Julie's blog through Kay Ellen who is a talented Interior Designer from America.  The way she has captured the mood with her photographic images is stunning.  You can read her blogging experience, which is featured in Artful Blogging magazine.

Kay Ellen has inspired me today with her blog so thank you.

Variety of Jewellery

It's been a whole week since my web site has been launched & a few orders have been coming in which is great.   I thought I would put up some of the jewellery I am selling through The Feathered Nest 

It is now down to advertising & marketing.   I have just signed up with True local .com.au so,  hopefully, I will be all over Google by the end of the week.

I have spoken to some companys that just waffle on in jargonese, why can't they speak plain english?  Its not impressive - just confusing.  Any one else out there that thinks the same?

Well the day has finally arrived my web site is live, I am so excited to be at this stage after many months of sourcing all my products and working with my  graphic designer from the Fig and Willow design group.

Thanks Allison for all your hard work.

I would also like to thank Anita from Desire 4 life, who has given me the confidence to believe in myself and has helped me to find the right words to say.

Last but not least, my gorgeous family who have put up with me doing late dinners, some times none at all, and not being much fun at weekends as being stuck in the office; thanks for your patience.
