Cute Miniatures

I love collecting miniature animals, especially little dogs

I found this little fellow at a gift shop yesterday, he wanted to come home with me!

 I love these 3 scottie dogs - the largest is a money box, the middle one I got from the Hobart doll and teddy show earlier this year, and the smallest I have had since my teenage years.  A little collection is starting..

A few mini dogs and Kimmi Dolls,  the one on the end I got at a garage sale in Burnie once - Kate got a chair at the same one! I love the little teapot and cup too.  The Rose Quartz and Calcite crystals are for peace and relaxation :)

 This duck family belonged to my grandmother from Scotland.  I love them, so adorable!!

 Dad gave me this rooster once, he bobs around and dances too!

 This little dog was from the Queen Victoria Market in Melbourne when I was there with mum earlier this year.  He is hanging out with his Kimmi Doll friend, the M was a gift from Kate once!

I found this sweet little cottage at an op shop in Burnie once, it came empty and I've filled it with pot pourri! I'd like to try making some of these some time - they would make cute gifts!!

Have a lovely day :)

Flowers in the garden :)

 The Nasturtium from Kate have been growing for 3 weeks now, and have grown heaps in the past week! I might replant them soon :) Cant wait for them to flower!

 This is a really sweet little plant with purple flowers :)

 This pink plant nearly died earlier in the year when I found it dug out of the ground by Patch! I planted it in this pot and have watered it heaps and today I saw these lovely pink flowers :)

 The pink plant has a relative in the rock garden! It was such a nice sunny day today too! 

 Miniature Rose bush :)

 Welcome to my peaceful garden :)

The flowers in the garden are really growing now, its a beautiful time of year!

Have a lovely day :)

Things seen at the chinese restaurant

 Had dinner at a chinese restaurant in Sandy Bay - it is called the Bund in Shanghai. Its a nice place with great food!  In the hall I saw these teddies, had to get a pic! I like the bear with the heart jumper, and the bear at the top in the brown jumper that says 'I love you'

I liked these paintings on the wall too :)

My Garden :)

With the lovely Spring weather I've been giving my garden some TLC lately.  The garden is a safe, relaxing and beautiful place to me :)

 These blue flowers are in a hanging basket which hangs outside my window -they look happy!

 A few of my flowers in pots -this was taken a couple of weeks ago when I had just planted my seeds (in the yellow and pink pots)

 These are my mini sunflowers 2 weeks old!

 These are my Nasturtium seeds which Kate sent for my birthday :) It was such a thoughtful gift! 2 weeks old  - I cant wait for them to grow more! They came up quick so far!! Thanks Kate xx

 My rock garden! The purpose of the stones is to prevent Patch digging up  the plants (which has happened in the past ) - It's worked so far :)  I also just like the look of the stones!

 This is where my beloved Jasmine grows! My favourite scent! I pick flowers off this bush to have inside and make the unit smell nice

 My buddy Patch - never far from where mummy is gardening!

Pot plant collection! It wasnt light enough inside so these plants are outside to soak up some natural light :)

Big W Handiwork!

I got these shelves from Big W! After a bit of a false start, I managed to assemble the shelves quite easily!

 From this:

To This!

I think it goes well and makes the bathroom look nice! It was fun to assemble too, I cant wait to make something else!

Elvis!!

I got this Elvis bear from Avon, he is so cute!! I got him because my boyfriend Pat likes to sing Elvis songs to me!! Sometimes I think he looks like Elvis too! We watched some Elvis clips on Utube a while ago and I was very impressed.  This cutie looks very much like Elvis haha!!

Love the Elvis hairstyle and the cool outfit :-) He's a happy fellow!!

Elvis and the gang!! I couldnt resist sharing some of the outfits Elvis bear came with - he is actually an Elvis dress up bear!! The green fellow is a Yowie who my friend Sooz gave me years ago he is sooo cute!! The teddy next to Elvis is a Myer bear from a couple of years ago, and Roger on the end was a gift from Pat last year he came with a sponge and bath foam!!

Rock on!!! xxx

Walkies!!!-Poimena Reserve Claremont

 Myself, Pat and Patch had a nice Sunday walk a couple of weekends ago, Pat likes to run with Patch, Patch also loves to look around in the bush!! Its a beautiful park we go there often to see the amazing views :)

 My two special boys hanging out at the lookout!! Looking down over Austins Ferry, it was a beautiful sunny day!

 Stunning View - I love the blue colour of the sky :)

Patchy had some time off the lead -he is a good boy!!

Charlie and Launceston fun!

This is Charlie who was a surprise gift from Pat whilst we were shopping in Launceston! Charlie is named after the Hotel Charles we stayed in for our weekend night away!! Pat said Charlies fur reminded him of my dog Patch!! How cute :) Charlie has settled in very well in my teddy family!!  I love his fur and his sweet little face!!

 This is Tatty Teddy sitting in the modern chair in the hotel!! Enjoying himself :)

This is Colin, helping me shop in Myer Launceston!! He liked this scarf!!

Beanie Kids and Hello Kitty!!

I now have a beanie kid collection!! Hart the dalmatian bear was a gift from mum, Cuddles the pink bear is just sooo adorable, and Hello Kitty is dressed as a teddy!! Too cute for words!!!!

I love cute toys :-)

Cute Teddies!!!!!

Sweet teddy is having a bath!! Bf Patty gave me this for Christmas, now she lives in my bathroom, she has a good relaxing life!! :-)

I couldnt resist this pic of my two teddies - Teddy and Princess, in bed!! They are sooo comfy !!

Snowy is hanging out with Coco my new teddy from Pat from the teddy shop in Richmond. Coco smells like Huon Pine a bit because the shop also sells wooden things!  I love teddies sooo much! Here they are below, with Tatty Teddy, and Hawthorn bear who is keenly awaiting the start of the footy season!!  There is a letter from my best friend Kate in Burnie on the table too, I love letters!! :-)    

Special Birthday Cushion :)

Isnt this a gorgeous cushion!! I bought it from Freedom Furniture using a gift voucher My Brother Iain, his wife Mish, my nieces Grace and Charlotte and nephew Oliver got me for my birthday, so it was bought with love :-) Thanx guys xxxxx
Its big and comfy!!
I adore the pink spotty cat with a smily face,  and the cute owl.

Me to you Tatty Teddy collection!!

 Me to you bears are my latest collection! I got this bear who I named Daisy, a couple of years ago now, she was actually the first teddy bear my boyfriend Pat ever gave me.  He got me the calender for Christmas, I get to be reminded of Tatty teddy all year!
Tatty teddies are so cute! I love the cute eyes and scruffy fur. You can collect all sorts of tatty teddy things.

 This tatty teddy was an Australia Day gift from Pat! I think the heart necklace can also be a bracelet for me but I like it on teddy

My me to you family, the animals are tatty teddy's blue nose friends, how sweet is that! Sugarcube is the donkey, Patch is the dog!
Hopefully over  time my collection will grow :-)

Cross Stitch in Progress

I am doing this doggy cross stitch, the picture shows what it will be, and how much I have done.

Its fun and relaxing to do!

Me and Bff Kate relaxing in bed with our teddies! We were watching the Wife Swap marathon and having cups of tea in bed, it was a great girly time!

My teddies are Princess (with the red bow) a Christmas pressie, and little Snowy.

I love the gorgeous bag in the corner hand made by Kate! Go craft!
