Today's makes

One thing I am finding out is that when hubby and I have a disagreement I lock myself away in the craft room and craft. Not the best way to do it but if it works - well he is home all week. So this is what I have got done today.All A6 in size apart from the Fairy on Tartan which is A5 size/






















These were some I made a couple of days ago using the wonderful art work of Toni Arthurs whose work can be bought from her Facebook Page HERE. These are mine to send out so not for selling so I made these 8 x 8.




The church one has snowflakes cut out with the Cricut.





The Robin one has a bow that took an hour to make no matter how hard I tried I couldn't manage it so resorted to You Tube in the end. 5 minutes later a finished bow.




I apologise that the pictures are now watermarked this is to protect the people who produce the digi stamps. It is a shame that people out there are prepared to share their work usually for a small price and often for free and people feel free to rip them off from making a little income. I always try to add a link to the website where the image can be found. If you want to find out more check out HERE

And finally my latest card makes using Craft Artist 2


This is the insert for the Bagpuss card using the stencil function for the first time

More storage (but only a tiny one)

I had lots of different tubs and pots holding my essentials - e/g pencils, knife, scissors - you get the idea.

So when browsing through those catalogues that arrive in the mail I saw this make up organiser and thought now that is brilliant just what I need. So I ordered it. I then got a letter informing me it was sold out but they were sending a replacement. Oh great I thought it won't be wood or it will be plastic and horrible. Looked through the website with the number they had quoted but nothing came up.

Well it arrived and it was the identical one to the one I had ordered. Confused just a bit and it doesn't take much these days.

Anyway what do you think of it

Progress in the craft room

Well the craft room is looking a little bit more like I can use it. I am getting on with making some Christmas cards. The new storage has arrived and a joiner friend said he would try to get here to put them together. Sadly he has not shown so his morning job has obviously overrun. Oh well.

This is what the craft room looks like today before the storage gets added not much different from a couple of weeks ago but it is finally all unpacked so I can at least access stuff now.






Oh and one final thing (as this is not just crafting) Proof that all things Christmas are real for those cynics out there
