We painted the bedroom a few weeks ago and I was not completely happy with the colour.

So last night I went to the wonderful Bed, Bath and Table sale and fell in love with a gorgeous quilt set. ....I called my wonderful Mr Deekie Belle who was at work and he said I could buy it :)!

Now I am much more happy with the paint! I think the quilt brings it all together!

Funny how that happens isn't it!

They know to sleep on the blankie and not on the quilt! ...smart kitties!



I hope you like it, I love it :)!!
Now enough of me fussing and fluffing over it ~ back to work!

a few photos....

We had The Songstress's 21st birthday party this past weekend.
I am waiting to get some of the better photos to share with you all.

It was a wonderful night, she had a ball and enjoyed all her time with her friends and family..

Till I get some better pics, please enjoy this cuppycake, it was one of the ones that I made for the night ;)!

Am waiting on my Bells to arrive from America so I can finish my orders so I have been working a little more on my Midwest Moderns Quilt.

Problem is, every time I walk out the room a certain 'Mr Garfield' snuggles up in the fabric and makes himself at home!

And now Mr Derrick has joined him!!

How rude!, stealing someones quilt before it is even on the bed!!!

I made a little collage of The Princess, she is three months old already!!
oh. my. gosh. time is just moving too fast.
She is such a smiley girl!!

Big hugs,

Happy Mothers Day!

Happy Mothers Day to all my wonderful girlfriends in blog land!!

Hope you spent it with your children and were blessed beyond your wildest dreams!

My children made the day completely perfect for me, as did Mr Deekie Belle!

Here are the treats that the kids gave to me, more Chanel for me to enjoy :)

Yummy, yum yum!!

Hugs,

Mr Deekie Belle has hung my shabby plate rack that The Rock Star made me, up in my studio! I took it down from the dining room wall when I got my new buffet cabinet and have been missing it so much!

It is so pretty!

It has given me more shelf space too!
