A few days before it arrived i had sent a small parcel with various types of faux moss, moss scatter, little tools and mini stones to use for her mandrake table. I never expected anything back, let alone such a beautiful gift.
Make sure you pop over there and see Jains beautiful work and if you are into mandrakes then this weekend i think Jain is listing both of these on ebay. Please check her blog for when this is happening and the link.
Here is the cutest Little baby sleeping in a snail shell. Isn't she lovely?
Hope my photo has done her justice because she really is fantastic.
Decided this baby needs to be a girl and so have call her Bibi. Love her and thank you Jain.
Little bit more work on the chimineas this morning. I will sand them and turn them into cast iron later. I tried all kinds of legs for these but nothing looked right so decided to extend them into one whole thing and keep quite simple.
My fave so far is the one with the biggest opening.
I've made them so the floo goes backwards, as if it is going into a wall.
Tomorrow i will show you the gift Eva from http://mini-escenas.blogspot.com/ sent to me, alongside the delicious cake all the way from Spain.
If you have not visited Eva before then make sure you do. She has just finished making her fabulous witch bookcase. Its beautiful and full of so much fun, plus i know she has really enjoyed making this. The bookcase is a wonderful way to display so many items and you have to check out the door, elf and tree... brilliant!
Heres one of the pics over there.
Oooh the gift from Jain is just fabulous! I love it it's so sweet and different! I love Eva's bookcase too...fantastic! ;o)

ReplyDeleteHi Kate and John.
ReplyDeleteI have some lovely gifts from quite a few wonderful people, and have decided im going to put them in a display case until i find the time for the witch house completion. At the moment i am storing them in a box and would love to see them out.
Glad you like Evas site. She is lovely too!

Hi Julie. I really was surprised by the gift and love the little baby Bibi. She is so delicate and beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHope the blog problesm get sorted. I have not kept up with them all for a few weeks because of this and also if i do then i cant leave comments on all of them, just some.
Nikki xxx
Hi Mercedes. I have not visited you for such a long time and lovely to see you. I have also been meaning to email you for about 4 months since i last heard from you. Days become weeks and now its 4 months, lol.
ReplyDeleteEva is lovely and her bookcase too.

Hi Kim. I know Kim, facebook is the worst place to visit, theres too much there to nose at and before you know it hours have been wasted. I have signed in there today but only for a few mins at a time, lol. I am being very good and have got lots of real work done today.
ReplyDeleteGlad you love the baby too. I hope Jain has them at Kensington because i think they will be ever so popular.
Nikki xxx
Hi Jain. Yes, they will all be at Kensington, and another two i have planned that are plate warmers at the top, then a stove top and then the flame part. These have given me so many ideas for other furniture bit to make life easier making them will make the perfect mould to speed up production. Spent hours getting them right.
ReplyDeleteThank you once again for the beautiful baby. I knew she would be very popular because she is so adorable. You should make lots more.
Hope you enjoyed Evas blog too!
Nikki xxx
Hi Eva. I didn't think you would mind me sending everyone over. I am surorised they have not found you sooner.
ReplyDeleteLovely baby isn't she!
