Shabby Chic Inspired Room Box

My latest mini creation. The wallpaper is not as bright as these photos suggest.  It's more of an olive green. The border is a gold embossed stamp.
At the NZAME convention I purchased the gorgeous coat and beautiful lacey number from one of our very talented club members,  Janis. (Check out her etsy listings under 'Tiny Finery'.) I then made this roombox to show them off.
I like the shabby chic jars I altered and also love the suitcase at the end of the bed which I made from paper and card.
The perfume display and the back 'tea cup candle' were also purchased from Convention in the form of kits. - Both really easy to make up and I think they look quite at home in this setting. 
Still think I will have to create a toy of some sort for the bed and a lacey blanket/throw for the end of the bed.
Thanks for looking.

Summer Knitting

Happy New Year everyone!  I've been busy knitting a couple of cowls over the holidays, although it so hot at the moment... we all know it's going to cool down sooner or later,  and I am hoping these two accessories will come in handy. I think my favourite is the orange beaded one. First time at knitting with beads and I think I'm 'hooked'!
