My Own Tea Room

..well,a Tea Room sign anyway...that i finally finished after a few weeks of distraction on making other small crafts. Handpainted but cheated on using Cath Kidston's roses template and a teapot shape cut out.

oh, would be nice if i had my own tea room/shop *dreaming*.

This week's teacup tuesday, I'm using a teacup from Grosvenor Bone China England, love the green pattern on it and the lovely flowers on it too, as for the saucer is from Royal Stafford.

I'm in the lookout for duck egg blue teacup, so far i haven't yet found it in my local charity shops but they tend to sell teacups/saucers/plates in lots, i just need one cup and one saucer then i'm happy :)

My 100th Followers Giveaways Winner goes to...

Loo xx from Jumbles and Pompoms

Congrats! and thank you for all of you that have entered the giveaways.

The below gifts will be sent as soon as I received the winner's address.

I actually wanted to ask hubby to draw the winner but he went to work so fast before i could ask him but i had a cute helper :), I wanted to do it yesterday so I could post the gift as soon as possible, i'm that impatient! Okay till next time if i ever reached 200 followers, i'll be hosting another giveaways, Thanks again!

T.G.I.F!

Thank God It's Friday (again), Thank you for the lovely and uplifting comments on my previous post, I'm cheered up again and trying to be more optimistic and positive with life. Thank you again.

I did an easy craft today with a wooden door stop that I bought couple weeks back at Robert Dyas in town, I happened to misplaced them and while i was wondering what i should do today, i found them.

I painted two of them with red paint and use a wooden skewer for the white dots, I decoupage one of them using cath kidston's paper. I've been thinking of setting up a folksy account to sell stuff, we'll see.

It's just a random photo i took of my teddy bear that i bought awhile back in charity shop, also a Doris Day "Tea for Two" Musical greats video that I paid for 50p which i haven't got a chance to watch it as my video player is still acting up and it's been sitting there waiting :)

I wish everyone a wonderful and blessed weekend!! x Susan

C'est la vie

...and when I thought i've gotten over my moodiness, M.O.T's bill sunk me further into a well of sorrow, the car's suspension and tyres need to be replaced which costs over a thousand pounds, there goes my plan to visit my family in my hometown, Indonesia this summer which we have saved for a few years! i've been homesick these couple of years and tried my best to be patient and to find a job with no luck. Such is life!

on top of that, i've been trying not to get involved in a drama between my two indonesian friends here but somehow i was dragged in involuntarily just because i was in one of my friend's car at that time, really i dont need more drama in my life, i've got enough probs. I won't bore you with the details.

Anyways, I recieved this month's catalogue today from Cath Kidston which kinda distract me from thinking of my probs for a few moments.

I was planning also to buy a few stuff from CK this month but now i guess it will stay in my wish list and I don't know when I'll be able to buy them :(

I did however managed to do something that makes me calm, I decoupaged my little bird house using CK's paper. I bought the bird house last month from TK Maxx for £3 and you can see the post here

Okay, sorry about the ramblings but I just wanted to get it out of my chest and I'm glad that i have a blog to rant and rave :)

Goodbye April, Hello May!

It sure is a long bank holiday! to top it all off, hubby booked the day off tomorrow to send his car for M.O.T so he'll be back to work on Wednesday :)

I've been down in the dumps lately, no mood on crafting or taking pics (wont bore you why!) and hubby (bless him) is trying his best to cheer me up, but I'm happy coz i've won a giveaway at Bee Happy, thank you!

Hubby took me to town yesterday and I managed to buy a few stuff from TK Maxx.

Tins for tea, sugar and coffee that i couldnt resist though hubby says "I thought we already have tins for those?". I just answered we need a spare :)

..and a lovely union jack address book. Love the design! I do hope this month will bring luck and plenty of blessings for all of us! x Susan
