Just thought I'd share a new baby card I made for a friend earlier this week. The sun is shining here so I decided to make a washing line full of baby vests. The photo was taken rather hastily one morning before putting in the envelope so the quality isn't great but each vest spells out 'Isabel'. I... Continue Reading →
I've had the tab open on my laptop with 'New Post' staring back at me for at least 3 days. Every time I thought 'ah ha, here's my moment' something else came up but in those 3 days I have gained new followers. They have taken the time to write comments and like my posts... Continue Reading →
Well, it has been a long week. My little boy has been unwell with an ear infection all week so all I've managed is to give medicine and lots of cuddles. My husband also had an upset stomach and, being totally phobic of anything sickness related, I spent the week armed with bleach. Towards the... Continue Reading →
I have a poorly 4 year old at the moment so thought I'd share a quick card I made for my Nephew's birthday. I love shaker cards but get irritated when the sequins get stuck to the acetate. I've tried using an anti static pad on it first but it still seems to happen so... Continue Reading →
I've been a little busy this last week. I hardly seem to have had any time to sit at my craft table so I thought I'd share something I made for my Mum last Christmas. My first attempt (and currently last) at making a figure out of fimo. Some sneaky red clay crept into the... Continue Reading →
In my clutter free craft space I now have a mental list of all the things I want to make. Projects that I'm so used to looking at that I no longer see them! I am resolute that now I know what I have, I will use it before I forget again. Several years ago... Continue Reading →
I've been lost recently under a pile of craft stuff. I've been decluttering the house (and I've been ruthless!) but I was adamant I wasn't going to go through any of my craft items. I was convinced that I needed everything I had and that everything had a home. Only when the rest of the... Continue Reading →
While still in playing mode (my last blog post) I decided to dust off my hot glue gun. I had bought some glittery coloured glue sticks in Lidl and thought it would be a fun distraction for my 6-year-old to see what happened when they melted. Don't worry she was under strict supervision and I mainly used the... Continue Reading →
Life just gets too busy sometimes. I start using my blog more and then I get caught up making Easter bonnets, both kids get chicken pox and my husband had surgery. The result is things get too tospy turvy for me to think straight let alone make anything or write blog posts. There was one... Continue Reading →
I'm feeling accomplished today! I don't mean to sound smug and I certainly haven't done anything ground breaking but I've survived the day and enjoyed it. I made a loaf of bread, done the laundry, gone to my daughter's mock ballet exam, my little boy was an angel throughout said ballet (don't ask me about... Continue Reading →
