Who lives in a house like this?


I have been racking my brains to create
 Something More Exciting
for Saturday's market.
So...I got racking...


I thought they would make great personalized gifts for the family.
If you make them after 9.00 pm they can be very personal!
(I made a naughty one but it was 9.30 pm)


Grandad might like AWESOME DUDE.



I have been searching for those toys that dangle.
I had one once but sold him.
Do you remember him on the left?


He was special,
I loved him so much.
I should never have sold him.

 I found this guy the other day...


and the very same afternoon in another place I found this little lady...


and it was love...


I think they found each other.
It was meant to be.
I will not be dangling these in public
but some toys must go to market on Saturday.
I'm always sad when they go.

I wonder if  C*******S fever has started yet?
I will report back with an advanced warning if I see any signs.

So... did you guess?
Who lives in a house like this?



We do!



Babooshka, Baboohska, Babooshka...ya-ya!

Crafty ways make Rushing Days.

    Scrabble! Love Scrabble...Always reminds me
    of Steptoe and Son...The one where the old
    man does a crossword for the parish Magazine! :).
    Starts off with them playing Scrabble, and he's
    putting in naughty words...HeHe! Great!!

    The puppets are lovely to! Bit of the Sandie Shaws!
    And...The house...Think we better take a look
    inside...You never know, who might be hiding there!
    Soo, for example...!!! :>).

    I so LOVE the babushka house I'm thinking of calling in the builders and having my roof removed and replaced with a cotton reel chimney and pincushion tiles.

    Doiley Appreciation Society? Is that for the paper ones, in which case please may I join?

    I don't know where you live but I wish it was nearer cos I would love to have all those things (and you of course) selling at my fair in October, and your paper cutouts are amazing

    Wasn't expecting that one, I must admit.
    I love those dancing dolls too. I bring mine back from the German Christmas markets for my kids. Sometimes the simple toys are the best aren't they?
