Spring is coming

I am trying to do some spring cleaning, but I am not much of a homemaker unfortunately.I would rather go in my little attic , and make some new fairies...

I feel like sleeping in a cabbage

I am working on different new fairies for baby christening. I have no enthusiasm at the moment, I am suffering from a very common infection that has affected many of my fellow crafters since the invention of the internet, The copycats (in my case they are all french, and they even copy the titles of my posts from my french blog, it feels like looking at yourself in a funny mirror). Well I suppose it is the downside of the internet, will resort to eating chocolate in front of the weekly rerun of Eastenders to cheer me up.

A winter heart

The snow drops came out last week in my garden. And here is a heart that my mother painted. As long as i can remember, she always had a paint brush in her hand every single day . When i was 8 she gave up a very secure job to become a crafter...I guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree ! She is the one who started selling my things when I was just 13 (I was very proud to get my own money then). So as a just return, i helped set up her shop on the internet.

The fairy bunnies

I really enjoy working on things with lovely spring colours.These bunnies are available in the shop.

Marie Claire Idées

Marie claire Idées may be a magazine that have just 4 issues a year (one per season), but they always have beautiful crafts projects. I know it is a french magazine, hence in french, so you may wonder why I post about it here, but i noticed quite a lot of english speaking people love their pictures as well as we do in France.This month the magazine launched their blog, so yes it is in french (pity they don't translate it!) but you can still click on the links they give you, and at the moment they are showing a beautiful photo gallery of crafts room...

I left it a little bit late to send you my best wishes for the new year, and i have no excuse for it.

I went on holidays and lazed around for three weeks...Now it is back to the drawing board, i am working on spring and easter stock. I will post some pictures soon.
