Too much of a good thing !!!!!

Well maybe!!!! BUT all I seem to be doing lately is blogging......Just so much excitement happening in my life at the moment I guess.....
Today when I got home from work I had the most wonderful surprise ..... I got a layout accepted for publication in 'For Keeps'......I cant wait to be published so now I have cards and a layout...They want to see some more so hopefully it wont be the first and last .....Will let you all know when of course....
Kerryn over at LSBS set a photography challenge last week to take some photos of bits and pieces of your home......Here are a few nooks and crannies in my home....


This is one of the first patchwork and stitchery's I did and dh made me the frame....

Some of the many cloth dolls I have made....

This has got to be one of my all time fav's .... My pride and joy dollhouse that dh and I made together with many a fight let me tell you BUT the final result is gorgeous....


Another one of the patchwork stitchery's I made...




I love my old canisters....



This is yet another one of my pride and joy's.....My dh made this step cupboard for me about 10 years ago (a pretty handy find he was!!!!) It houses a lot of my old bits and pieces....





My kitchen is my favourite room....mainly because I love to cook and also just because I love it....






This little find was an old fashioned tea trolley and my dad done it all up for me when we first got married (way back when!!!) I use it to store my collection of teapots.......(dust collectors my dh says!!!!!)
I also made the quilt (one of many many I have lying around) its just gorgeous when out in full....







This is our 'good' lounge room...... We hardly ever sit in here as I have a huge kitchen,dining family room that we use all the time.... I love my old singer sewing maching and cabinet that is in excellent condition and not sure if you can see very clearly but on the top is another of my collections of miniture sewing machings..... Another quilt I made is also hanging in this room and some stitchery cushions on the couch...
I got this little antique hall stand at the op shop and re stained and did it up a bit....It collects all my little angels......
Well I hope you have enjoyed having a little looksie at my bits and pieces that I love......
Take care
luv marg x
