New Look Website & New items

Good Evening all,

I have been very busy the last couple of weeks working on my website, sadly last year I didn't seem to get a lot of time to work on it and add new items, So this year I started the year with a new look Inn Country.  All new photo's have been taken and I am really happy with how it looks, it's a little more french than shabby chic.  I have also added a new product for this year and I should have more to list by next week.

Lavender Cornet

it is made from Linen fabric it covers a wooden coat hanger it has been finsihed off with a eiffel tower charm and black ribbon.  I have a lot of new patterns which I purchased over the christmas break and have been busy with them all. Including some new doll patterns from Raggedy Old Annies I really love Nicholes patterns they are so easy to work with.  I will also be listing all my dolls on the Inn Country website I have another blog for my dolls and this is wear you will see all my work if you get a chance pop over and visit http://www.olivegroveprimitives.blogspot.com/

Change is good

The christmas tree came down yesterday being the 1st January so I thought I would change things around a little for a fresh look for 2010.

 I have had the afternoon to look around blog land and I got so inspired by the most beautiful blogs and the photo's it got me thinking about the things I love.  But like everyone I have far to much stuff for one person.

So this year for me is going to be to clean out all the cupboards and clear all the old things that are sitting around collecting dust! I started with the kitchen  & lounge after I took the tree down, since we only finished the kitchen in july we already went though all the old things that have not been used in a while. So that job was easy I just changed the way the table looked and cleaned the benches.

This afternoon I started on my bedroom I will take a couple of shots tomorrow to show you my bedroom.  So I will be back tomorrow.

  Have a beautiful afternoon Lisa

Update on my silky chickens

Well sadly we lost one of the little baby chicks, and I am just left with the one, I think she is very lonely I did try to get another one from the same place but they had already gone.  So at the moment the kids cart her around the house and when I am sitting down working she sits with me, really funny after all she is a chicken I really cute one but still a chicken she is still living in the house and wont move out the the other girls till she is much bigger!  I thought I would share a couple more photo's of her now.
