A well deserved break, I am sure. I bought that book, per your suggestion - Chic & Simple Sewing, and am in the midst of sewing up a little top for my girls. So far so good. If all goes well I think I will try some of the other patterns in there - they all look doable. Enjoy your break, Vanessa. Now that I have a few minutes, this lovely Saturday, morning, I am going to spend it trying to see if I can actually smell all of those beautiful blooms in your last post. Thanks for posting them. Carolina
What a cute little house! Hope you have a lovely break Vanessa, doing peaceful restful things. Don't work too hard, relax and put your feet up - you deserve it! What ever you are doing, have a good time. Hope you have some good weather (none of that nasty old hurricane I'm hearing about for you I hope). See you soon xx
Well, that is THE cutest little holiday cottage, but I do wonder where your lovely husband is going to sleep, once you and the dogs are inside!
Have a good break....
What an adorable little house, and such pretty colours! I love the colours you are wearing too, combined with those of that sweet little house. Enjoy your break for the next two weeks, Vanessa!

Hi Vanessa,
Hope you're enjoying your break!
I just HAVE to say that I LOVE the little house!!! It looks perfect for a teeny-tiny tea party! :-) I would have done ANYTHING for that house when I was a little girl! Well..... actually, I still would!!!
Looking forward to your next blog.....
Carly

I discovered you beautiful work recently via pinterest and would like to ask permission to show a couple of your papier mache pieces on my blog, with credits of course.
Would that be OK?
