Some Silhouettes and Surprises

Good Morning,

It's been a busy old week here, a time of year with lots of birthdays and celebrations going on.

So I've not only pepping work, making stock items and orders but also some special makes too.

Now I can't share everything just yet as it would spoil the surprise and I do love surprises don't you.

What I can share is some makes from the craft session and demo at a local Meeing Place.

It's a great scheme where the little local library has a lovely tea room and lots of other things of interest going on apart from yummy cakes and savouries, cream teas and coffee's.

I met a local WI lady while I was there and someone who had just moved into the area, naturally I asked if she was a crafter and guess what? Of course I'd met another obsessive crafter!

I've also been busy with my clocks again and came up with something for fellow Beagle lovers.

There's also a quick birthday card I did yesterday for a little young man.

I've got lots of exciting things to work with over the next few week, including things I've used on these recent makes and a few old favourites that have made a return for me.

I've pretty much come full circle which is exciting, using much loved and trusty favourites like Crafty Individuals, Bee Crafty, Tapestry and Card-io peg stamps which are perfect for my clocks.

I'm finishing this after taking my daughter to the station earlier, such a foggy start but I think we're in for another glorious day when it clears.

I must get in with my day now so I'll love you and leave you.

Thank you for taking the time to stop by, it's always so appreciated.

Astral Asparagus

Morning everyone,

Hope your week is going ok so far.

Just a quick mid-week blog post from me before I head off out and then back to tackling my To Do list.

I managed to slot in some play time on Monday with my Dylusions Paint and this super new stamp designed by Alisa Kay for Bee Crafty. 

It's one of three designs, this one I've used is Astral Asparagus, I think they're such fun and so quirky, I love them!

It's the largest 19cm size on this canvas but also available in 7.5 and 12cm.

Anyway I played with the paints and some texture paste and added the Shoot for the Moon quote from one of the Wordage stamps in stock which will be added to the website soon.

I really enjoyed having fun with these.

Have a good day and I'll be back again soon.

Brusho Boxes at Bristol

Afternoon all,

Trying to catch up this week after a wonderful crafty weekend.
Saturday in Bristol was the Candy Box Crafts Brusho box project.
We used Brusho's to decorate and stamps including Designs by Ryn, Paperartsy, Stampendous and Bee Crafty Banksy designs.
I think I can happily say the ladies loved the class and I am as proud as punch with their fabulous results, they're all so talented and clever.
Some of them have even done a further box since arriving home.
I'm now prepping for this Sunday's workshop in Kent, it's all go!
So I'll leave you with a peek of the stunning array of Brusho Boxes
and the deep concentration creating!
Lots of fun, chat, tea breaks and yummy cakes,
particularly Jan's homemade cupcakes.
Thanks ever so for popping by my blog today, back soon with the Warwickshire Sunday class.

Love and Kindness...

Afternoon all,
The weather is a lot calmer here today, hope you're all doing ok?
I'm all set for the Kent workshop this Sunday so couldn't resist a quick play with new stamps that I ordered for my workshops.
I fell in love with these gorgeous new stamps Freddie and Fleur from Bee Crafty and will be introducing them to the ladies on Sunday.
Hope you like the result so far...
I have so many more ideas for these delightful designs.
I'm so looking forward to seeing the lovely ladies on Sunday, meeting some new friends, and catching up with them for the first workshop this year.
Wishing you all the lovely feelings that come from the warmth and kindness of good folk, hugs, smiles and contentment.
