I found this little thing outside the workshop today, soaking up the warm Autumn sunshine...love how vintage those delicate wings look.
So, I know I'm late with the Halloween thing but had to share the campest red devil (sorry Geordie - but all your pictures have that foot thing going on!) and a genuinely scary kenzie clown.
So scary that none of the boys wants to keep said clown mask in their bedrooms!

We had a lovely big family trip to Lyme Park at the weekend (setting for the BBC's Pride and Prejudice new film The Awakening). The new (ish) play area there is a boys dream and we even managed to get a photo of The Granny with all her grandchildren, nearly all looking at the camera ...a first!
The sunlight at the end of the afternoon was begging for photos - unfortunately boys were begging for tea so I only managed a few:
In the Chipper workshop it's been a mixture of commissions and Christmas blocks galore. This treasures box was for my lovely friend Sue who has become a fairy godmother and wanted something to welcome little Eva into the family. Sue writes stories about fairy folk and also paints - she designed this little fairy Betsy for inside the box (complete with tinkle bell on back)
... a new size of Love Block
And some new designs - single Christmas blocks
Finally, a HUGE thank you to everyone who has entered my first giveaway! I was full of trepidation when I posted it - can you imagine the shame of offering up your work and no one being interested??! Anyway - I really appreciate all the supportive comments - and hello to the new friends I've made as a result of my button being on some fancy sidebars! Isn't blogging fab....?

Hey fabulous fee,
ReplyDeleteWhat a great time you've been having.
The boys looking truly frightening and I'm impressed that you even brought Kenzie's mask into the house = eek!
The sky photos are glorious and it made me yearn for a trip to "Ye Goode Olde Country" to visit these fabulous estates, we really don't have anything on this scale in Oz.
Of all the truly beautiful Chipper Blocks I'm loving the 'Fruits Of The Spirit" most and I can imagine them lined up down our dining room table as a daily reminder of how to be our best person.
Happy day and biggest of hugs,
xx's

Love your blocks too as always, the wrapping paper ones have worked so well! Hope you're having a fab week so far xxx p.s well done for making yourself a grab button for your giveaway - I tried so many times and failed every time, just eluded me, hehe! xxx
ReplyDeletePretty blocks balance out the VERY scary mask. Eeek! Looks like you have been having fun.
ReplyDeleteSeriously....that mask would scare the poo out of me if it was in my house! Loved the pic of the boys dressed up, and the blocks are wonderful. I really need to get into the Christmas spirit this year!

Your imagination is endless fee, the blocks are gorgeous as always. Granny and all the kids, what a wonderful photo to have and to be able to look back on in years to come when the children are older.
ReplyDeleteArrhh that mask wouldn't be making his way into my bedroom either.....

NOW LIFE IS WORTH LIVING WITH THE HELP OF EDWARD JONES FINANCE
ReplyDeleteHello Every One, My Name is Trevor Cohen live in Texas and life is worth living comfortably for me and my family now. I really have never seen goodness shown to me this much in my life as i am a struggling Dad with three kids and i have been going through a serious problem as my son encountered a terrible accident last week, and the doctors states that he needs to undergo a delicate surgery for him to be able to walk again, and i could not afford the bill for his surgery then i went to the bank for a loan and they turn me down stating that credit score was bad, from there i run to my father and some of my friends but they could not help, then when i was surfing through the net i came across a loan lender EDWARD JONES who provides loans at an affordable interest rate of 2% and i have been hearing about so many scams on the internet but at this time, in my desperate situation i had no choice than to give it a try and surprisingly it was all like a dream, i received a loan of $85,000.00 and i payed for my son surgery and thank GOD today he is okay and can walk. I could in turn start something profitable with the remaining amount and i said to my self that i will shout loud to the world of the wonders of GOD to me through this GOD fearing lender EDWARD JONES and i will advise anyone in genuine and serious need of loan to contact this GOD fearing Company via: Jonesloanfinance@yahoo.com OR Text him +1(307) 217-5388
