Okay...go on call me a slacker...

I Dare ya!

No no wait, I double Dare ya!

After a much needed 3 week family holiday
we decided to have the whole famn damily
back to ours in Mallorca.

That's Mum, Dad, Sister from Canada,
Fhubbies Sister and Brother in Law from Australia,
2 close friends from Vancouver
and another friend of my fathers from Canada.

Let's just say from August to October
we should have just put in a revolving door,
along with the tent in the side yard.
Can't complain though, Happy Days.

And now of course it's getting into the holiday swing of things,
Lot's new in the shop for your gift giving needs.

But enough about the kids for the moment...
I've just opened a new Shop on Etsy
just for the grown ups amongst us.

Check us out and don't be shy...
Tell your friends!

"Oh you can't help that dear..We're all Mad here"

Today I invite you in for a cup of tea
and a tour through my Madness...

I grew up in my mothers craft room so it was inevitable that I would create my own wherever I could. I'm afraid Guests must make due with an air mattress in the living room as I've convinced the Fhubby (Future Hubby) to create my own wonderland out of our 3rd small bedroom.

This wonderful very large white unit was already in place from our landlord, a few tweaks here and there and it is the perfect place to store all of my many treasures.

Fabrics, buttons, and vintage Oh My!

There is always something on hand to discover, inspire and create
Don't you just Love Beach treasures?!
As we live just 1 block from the beach
I am fortunate to find many useful crafting goodies.

Working hard finishing some custom orders.

A few Lovelies awaiting a new home.

But wait...That's not all
Please take a walk along the beach with me
and through the labyrinth streets of Old Palma

Here you will sometimes find me in
my new Studio Space

A place to get messy
covered in plaster, clay and paint
a place to dream
and
Collaborate

My wonderful Art Teacher and Etsy Seller
Laurie Ann Pearsall
is graciously sharing her amazing space.
I'm slowly moving in...

The light is perfectly romantic
and I found this amazing storage shelf at the local thrift.

Just a few of my favorite things
Rusty bits and old books , a new project on the go
and my most precious thrift Find.
Fhubby is currently getting me a new strap
so she'll be ready to roll any day now!

Thank you for joining me in my mad little world,
Isn't it fun to be a bit crazy

Crazy for Handmade that is!
