~ Friday Photography ~

Today I attended another photography course with Andrew from Focus 10 Photography - such an interesting guy with heaps of knowledge.  He provides a very laid back course and it is lots of fun - he even took some shots of me and my bump so I could remember my belly!!!

When we looked back at the photos we realised it looks like I have no legs as my black skirt blended into the black velvet backdrop - my girls thought it was very amusing.

I have had my tailors dummy for about ten years now. As you can see above, I have covered it in trims in shades of white, cream and aqua that I have collected over the years from antique markets and haberdasheries. Recently, I was asked on Flickr where to get one from.


Tailors dummies
I suggested Baileys home because they sell a variety of vintage tailors dummies and I think the mix of old and new in their store is just right.


Tailors dummy with Russian linen
On further investigation, I found this great dummy upholstered in vintage Russian linen from Ghost furniture.


Tailors dummy from Corset Laced Mannequins
On the other hand, if you're looking for a something a bit more special, then I suggest taking a look at Corset Laced Mannequins, who also make bespoke dummies in any suitable fabric you provide.

~ My poor back ~

I know I only have a few weeks to go but boy oh boy being pregnant reeks havoc on your back - I am dreaming of a lovely relaxing massage to make the aches go away.  May the next 5 weeks go fast so I can relax comfortably like this lovely image below!!!

~ Girls Bedrooms ~

I am trying to decide on furniture for my girls new rooms - here are some beautiful beds I found during my search.

~ This weeks Scrapbook Pages ~

I have been busy trying to get my scrapbooks up to date so that when the new baby arrives I will be able to do a few pages of the new little one (that is the plan anyway!!) - here are some pictures of my latest creations. 





~ A place for Everything ~

Here I go again finding beautiful spaces that have a place for everything.

A fantastic hiding space for the printer 

A gorgeous attic  with a desk for all your activities and hobbies



Beautiful ribbon and paper



I guess you could possibly need this many pairs of scissors?

I love the tags, cards and notepaper in their own special space

Martha certainly know how to keep things well stocked and tidy - I wonder if it stays like this for long?
