Hard work over the jubilee weekend.





Happy Jubille weekend to you.
I have not been invited to any jubilee events nor have I held a Jubilee event. It is all vert quiet at our house at the end of a runway.
My mother has been partying all weekend and has more planned in the coming days. She puts Mr Betty and I to shame.

I have decided to use this precious extended weekend as time to focus and create. I lost focus slightly last night whilst enjoying Pimms and a 3 course meal but I have now re-focused and things are going swimmingly.

Most of my time has been spent at my very cluttered desk.




Of course, I have no complaints about this as this is where I am at my happiest apart from my bed.
What have I been working on I hear you ask. Well, I have been focusing on my kitties.
I have created new outfits, a little satchel and a home (of sorts).
I am referring to my felties btw, not my real kitties. The real ones are driving me to despair!
So, here they are...





My 'kitties in boxes'
I really hope you like them.




I ordered recycled card in 'Hairy Manilla' (great name for a pet). I made matchbox style packaging, lining the boxes with vintage, patchwork wallpaper.




I (my mum) knitted new sweaters and tanks. I stitched vintage fabric pieces into simple little skirts.




And then I cleared down my Folksy store and created a bit of a re-launch situation. Very therapeutic but also rather time consuming.
I really hope they do ok and more than that I hope you like them.
Let's see how it goes :)

Great bit of Ebaying to report too.




£5.00!! what a steal!!
Just collected it today and I am so excited to get started on it's makeover.
I will use this to display 'things' on when doing my stall.
Talking of stalls....this week is going to be all about the Vintage Village fair on this coming Sunday.
I will share all the details over the next few days.

Tonight I will mostly be watching the Finale of you know what and the penultimate episode of Desperate Housewives. I may drink tea too.

I hope you are all well and thanks for reading.X

  4. Beautiful work Emma,
    You can just see the love that goes into making your sweet Kitties!
    Celebrating the Jubilee a little crazy here in the north west, although the weather has been very chilly, a Pimms or two has made up for it!
    Happy Monday!
