<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I had to play with paper and paint again yesterday.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> Such fun to make a new fern, please note a different variety. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Once again it is an </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Wish I knew what it is called, completely escapes me for the moment.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I will have to Google it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">We all know that it is only by doing that we learn what works and </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">simply what does not. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> Not having the colour paint I needed, I mixed my own </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">for me it is slightly too dark.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">In my personal experience green is certainly the colour that changes </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">completely in night light. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Also when you think you have a wire that will work and heck no...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> it is a tad sub standard in the metal content used during manufacture.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I found that I could not control the wire as I would have liked.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> The fronds swing around as though the wind is blowing. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Also I could not straighten out the curves, little kinks were left in the wires memory which would not budge without me stripping off all the leaves. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Will have to find the supplier of the wire that I first used. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I love these learning curves.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">South Africa is not the perfect place to find "THE STUFF" one needs in an instant.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Thank goodness we have the internet these days.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Slowly the atrium is getting stocked with plants, Gran will then be able to sit down and read a book </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">and pretend she is on a tropical island somewhere.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">gives a person such a boost...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">At the moment I am all knitted out.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Well I have had such a wonderful time making miniature flowers and plants.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">This is a fern we made with Erika Gross.....</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">so exciting to see the plant appear in front of you.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

My Daughter said...Mom how big is the fern?<br />
So now the picture on the hand....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Erika's attention to detail is simply awesome, at least the guy with the laser cutter thinks she does a dam fine job.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The preparation that goes into something like this does NOT happen in </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">"only a few hours "</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">There are a lot of steps in the process but oh so worth it.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I did not think I would ever be able to make a plant that would look so realistic.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">For me it looks so real that I feel I need to water it!!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Now, I have a plant in my home that has become part of the furniture if it were not in the room it would be tantamount to "someone" not something missing </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">in my home, plants give atmosphere in ones home, that is for sure.......</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I now need to make "my plant" in miniature. So the game is on. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Measuring, photographing, matching colours.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The lady doing the artwork will be happy, as it certainly takes her out of the ordinary day to day stuff that she usually has to deal with!!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Enjoy your weekend!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> A pillow with 12 of the the squares would work well. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I will have to check the crochet stitches that I used,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">as I have used American terms in the past.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I did a little embroidery on the front and decided less was more... </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The Peter Rabbit Quilt is taking a lot longer than I thought.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I am stitching around each square while listening to the book </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">"The Name of the Wind" love tales of magic </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Each square is stuffed with a little cotton batting.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">You need to leave the outer edge squares until last, as you will have to turn the lining in at the edges before they are stitched.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Can't say my stitching is very neat at the back, maybe have to do it differently as in knitting a back for the quilt.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Part Three </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Just wondering now if it will drape over the cot or bed.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I have managed to complete the sewing up of the squares and have started on the the crochet edging.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I am so happy with the edging as it looks a little like carrots </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">with the green edging looking like the tops of the carrots.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Over the last few weeks we have been discussing Mini Knitting on a </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Yahoo Group called MSAT Mini Dolls.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Realizing people would like a more doable project </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">as well as a fun one to boot,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I thought I would share this project with you all.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">This is what we in South Africa call the "Charity Square"</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">You will find needles and thread in a doctors waiting rooms and all you need to do while waiting for the doctor is knit a few rows.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The completed squares are collected then sewn into blankets</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">by volunteers and then distributed to various charities.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">As the squares are knitted in the diagonal the cast on and cast off rows do not show as sides of the square.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I have had this idea on my mind for ever such a long time ...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">On one of my coffee mugs there was a puffy quilted blanket </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">used to tuck a baby teddy in his cot....</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Always thinking it would make an easy knitting project. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I am going to incorporate knitting, crochet, sewing and quilting.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">These skills seem combined some how!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> So far I have managed 18 squares and sewn them together.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

Unfortunately I cannot make a top for him , it is the way the arm is positioned and there is a little extra resin just under his arm...</div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Over the Holiday period I had a lot of fun on Pinterest collecting pictures </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">that please my soul. Pinterest shows you the link to many websites that one can browse...discovered so much. Now everything is in one place easy to find.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Found a site </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">"Rugs Done Right" </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">and saw the picture of a rug I particularly favour....</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">This one goes really well with my baby room, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">but I want to make it really big.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Also found a blog where the lady told you how to print onto fabric on your home computer now I can't find the link anymore, I get so mad at myself.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Should have added it to the Pinterest Rugs Board.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">A very clever idea ...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">when she wanted to put the spray glue onto her piece of card </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">a cardboard box was used to contain the glue spray..</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Such a "clean" way to do it.....</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">If you go to this link</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> <a href="http://pinterest.com/sharonchrystal/rugs/">http://pinterest.com/sharonchrystal/rugs/</a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">you will see other rugs I have found and maybe you can print them for your own personal use.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">If you want them a little bigger you can paste them onto a word document to do the adjustment in size.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> The hardest part will be NOT TO OPEN THE PARCEL</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The question now is is will it arrive in time!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">His little arms are not attached to the body so I will be able to dress him....</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">My daughter arrives from London on Saturday....I am so excited I can't settle to anything.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">So I decided to go back to my roots and play with fabric needle and thread......</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">A lot needs to change for these tiny fabric garments.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The skirts a little fuller ....lace gently gathered, bonnets really fussy for these.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Little dresses for Belly Button Baby</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I like the garments to be removable...and no glue except "Mod Podge" for sealing the fabric edges.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Need to make coast hangers for them this evening. </span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">One has to start somewhere</span>!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I felt like a kid again, deciding what colours to use </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">and how to shade this or that </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Lets try these sprinkles...Oh Lordy Lordy Miss Claudy, what fun we did have!!!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">For me to be in my comfort zone I knit!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">For the Nursery i had to start somewhere. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">So I made a dress in the thread I had found in my stash. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I could then begin the knitting the frills for the cot in the Nursery.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I started off making the frill for the sheet. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Turns out it is one pattern repeat too long for "My Eye"</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I now have to work out how to knit the frill.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Exactly how long should it be.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">How many sections should the frill be knitted in. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Can't have too many stitches on the needles </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">my customers will think I am crazy.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Where do I decreased on the arch shape of the canopy </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">so the lace does not stick out funny.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">So I draped the knitted frills using press stick to keep them in place</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I have come to the conclusion it won't be as easy as I thought, the mathematical brain will have to work overtime.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">When draping the pillow frill I saw that the corner sections of the pillow which had extra gathers sat far better over the arch. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">So there will have to be extra decreasing in this area, well we will see. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">NEW BEGINNINGS!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">8 years ago I received a gift from my husband for our 30th wedding anniversery.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The parcel slip arrived much excitement</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Then on closer inspection of the document there was an item for the amount of</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">R1500.00</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">This was a fine!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">In South Africa we have to pay 14% VAT on imports. What had happened was Motts Miniatures had put a value on the outside of the parcel which was half of the value of the invoice inside the box.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Customs opened the box!!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I understand that Motts had written on the outside of the parcel the ammount for insurance purposes. This they caluclated at their cost price, and not the retail price.....</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">After all said and done try explaining that to the South African Customs and Excise.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The fine put a dampener on everything ....</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">A little how I am feeling at the moment!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Far too many things in the creative side of the brain.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">My Thoughts</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I dont want this nursery to be a play room with a gazillion toys around.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">It must be an elegant and restful room for both mother and child. A place to feed the baby without baby getting distracted by everthing around......The playroom can be through an inter leading door.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">This can come later. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">If I was giving a brief to a customer,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">what would I have to include in this breif so they get the idea of the end result.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">If you don't write it down it does not happen, one can so easily forget.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">ELEGANTLY SHABBY CHIC leaning more to the CHIC side.....</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">There will be no adults in the room or garden only the sugetion that they are somewhere around.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The cot linen will look as though they baby just just been taken out of the cot.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Bay window with french doors leading out into a garden.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Garden must have a chair with a scatter cushion and table with a tea cup and book. An English country garden flowers.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">As this room box is not part of a rectangular dolls house I can have any shape I like, I don't want to see only the side of a piece of furniture. Many antique rooms I have seen on Theraults Auction Catalougue many of the room boxes<span style="font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-ZA; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">
</span> have the windows at an angle, good thinking, I like this style.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Brooke Tucker's suggestion<span style="font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-ZA; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">
</span> of a room leading off somewhere in her style of design opens our imagination....makes us wonder.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I would like cream carpets with the blue toned throw rug on top.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Cream walls, not sure about wall paper at this stage, would need to find the perfect fit. I favor monotones. So the search is on.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Also that the wall paper is the best of quality so it does not fade in our African sun. I like a dado rail.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I would like to dress the crib and cot without it being over the top......elegant shabby chic</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Rather than use lace on the crib I plan to knit the lace. Having found in my stash 80/2 Egyptian Gassed Cotton in the perfect shade, was serendipity playing with the room.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I would like lace curtains as well as the main curtains. The main curtains need to elegant rather than child like.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I feel cream silk with a delicate design of flowers hanging down as though they were hanging from a pergola would be perfect. I have similar curtains in my main bedroom and have loved them for over 30 years.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">A portrait of mother and child, I had the perfect picture on my wish list on Etsy, but after my computer rehash it has disappeared. I cannot remember the name of the shop either.....will have to do a search.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">There have to be toys, but understated, once again in delicate shades, not primary colours, those can be for the playroom.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I still need an oval table with a cloth to the floor.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Indoor plants ferns</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">A table lamp </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">A baby night light</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Gowns in the wardrobe </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">A robe hanging ready for the baby to wear.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Toys for in the crib and one or two on the floor </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I have a dolls, house dolls house which needs to be put together...now I know what colours to choose.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">As I have not made a room box before I'll need to find out the following.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I want the walls to be collapsible as in a flat pack, so they will have to slot into each other with grooves in the wood.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Ideally the bottom section should have a drawer in which to house the furniture pieces.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">My reason being, if I choose to take this nursery to a show it will be easily transported and everything would be safe and sound.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">How can one do this?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">What wood should I use?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Who to ask?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I read on a blog of someone who prints fabric and wallpaper for dolls houses top quality too!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">RESEARCH RESEARCH RESEARCH</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Any help from "My Followers" would be much appreciated </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Links to sites for what I need.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Who do you suggest I ask?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

To see all the patterns available for Pearl on one page look on the right hand side you will see a list under Pages, click on the page you would like for example Patterns Available in Dutch.<br />
I have finally worked out how to use this feature.<br />
Also when ordering patterns you may copy the picture of the pattern you would like into an email.<br />
Thank you.<br />
