I went into Bear Cottage Crafts today to stock up on a few ribbons....and noticed this mannequin style shelf, how lovely is this! I didn't purchase it on the spot...you know how you get home and wish you had bought something that caught your eye!! So I had to go back this arvo and buy it!

This morning I have started on my Life is Beautiful Journal... I painted the cover and back in blue, and have tea dyed some of my crochet motifs...its so much fun playing around with lace and trims to see what works!

What a beautiful shelf Lisa, I can see how you would have to have made the trip back to the shop. I love all of your crocheted bits that you are going to use in your journal.

That shelf is really really cute. I can understand why you had to go back and get it. Your journal is going to look fantastic, I hope you will let us see some of your entries. It is a beautiful quilt and I think its a great idea to document it's progress along the way.
I am green with envy.....can't wait to see you cover...
I LOVE THAT STAND!! Is it very big?
Just noticed your new header... nice!
