Virtual Journeys.....


last night I spent all night up until 6am doing a virtual tour of Australian craft pages through my Facebook business page Fanni loves Fufu, I met some lovely people there, doing amazing craft's....... and what I loved about my virtual journey was the fact I was able to do this just sat here looking at a screen and typing on a keyboard...no packing, no fearful plane journey and no jet lag! One of the most adorable pages I found is Fairy me by Targa, a wonderful lady in love with nature and all things Fae! She creates fabulous photographs using your own pictures and lovely photographic settings she has discovered herself! Go have a look, her magical power's have entranced me!
As well as my magical mystical journey I was lured by eBay and found myself buying some miniature Kewpie dolls to turn into brooches and necklaces......I have this fascination with Rosie O' Neill's cute little creation, the ones I have bought are contemporary and are originally sourced from Japan... Oh how I wish I could drag myself away from the grip of evil eBay ! Lol.
Poor JAPAN, the feeling of such helplessness over the disaster and death's, it makes me feel very small and useless in the scheme of things, and as a Mother and 'life-giver' I cannot begin to feel the sadness of all the waste of life, the turmoil, stress and fear... and what to do to help? A friend Mummy Lynne suggested giving money to a disaster fund for Japan, or even running an auction on Facebook to raise money.....any more idea's friends?

Fanni's first Blog!
















Welcome to my Magnificent world.......recluse that I am....it's basically my little home, 8 indoor rabbits, a cat, two dysfunctional kids Jamie, Joey and his girlfriend Catt, 'im indoor's and my huge addiction to vintage collectables, crafting and all things Facebook.
It's blowing a gale here in Harrogate and I have bravely tripled pegged my rather large smalls on the line in the hopes that they dry before they blow away! The front fence has blown down and given us a bit of a shock, but I am sat here with my four lovely four week old rabbits......all cosy and oblivious to the raging wind outside, and that take's the pain away of thinking about the dam fence! lol Instead of ogling and playing with the bunnies I should be finishing off a tea cosy I am making today, for the lovely Emma Chisholm, it's for her Mummy for Mother's day and I'm making a really cute hedgehog based on a sketch Emma did..this I will upload later for you all to share! Tempus fugit's all too quickly Fanni's world i am always crafting, making and planning my next craft item...this week i have been baking fimo...and have made in advance some really cute chocolate rabbit's ....i need to finish them off yet, with gold paper or gold leaf and then see what i am going to turn them into...... what do you think i should do with them?..suggestions are always grateful!
