Day 6 - Sunshiny Day

Well today was a sunny day and I finally got to put some washing on the line without having to keep running out and rescuing it from the rain!

Today I have been playing, bug catching, schooling, painting, drilling, knitting and shopping (not in that order!).

Here are some snippets -


Some tea sets that I bought from the carboot on Sunday -


What do you think?


Some of the dolly pegs - however these are not the final product - I bought candy pink, organic green and duck egg blue paint as well today so will post properly when done!

  2. Hi Wendy ,I'm loving the cup and saucers stand !!!! I too enjoy making dolly pegs like this , I always use a final coat of yacht vanish on the painted part just to help weather proof them ( you do have do be careful not to use too much vanish as it runs ). As for your question above about pricing I usually sell mine for £2.25 for eight(this is at fundraising events ) , but I have seen them selling for £3.00 for eight .Hope this helps .
    Good luck with your dolly peg project , with kind regards Tracy.

    1. Thanks for popping by Tracy, its lovely to have you. I actually saw your dolly pegs on one of your photos and they are amazing. I have got some varnish and once I have finished the ones I'm doing I'm going to varnish them all at once. How do you manage to do ur white spots is there a special tool? I have managed to a degree but its hard work!. I saw some on the internet - 10 for £5 whick I thought was a bit excessive. I originally made them for some friends but liked them so much thought I would try them on my stall too x
