In homage to the White Stuff.....

After a couple of 'spring like' days in Birmingham, earlier this week, I drove home to find the garden with snowdrops dancing to the breeze and daring to seek out the sun. However, yesterday the snow arrived back and we are all freezing again. The snowdrops have hidden their faces but I wanted to play around with white. I just love the white on white combo. After several visits to the craft den, getting side tracked with some Dylusions, and just don't speak to me about internet dropout..... I made this.



The stamp is an old one from Dark Room Door and has become a favorite in my collection.

I shall be making my way to Liverpool on Saturday for a workshop / demo. I'll post the details later as the snow is affecting the internet and is making me mad. Going to craft and find my calm again.

Back Soon

Simplicity

Can you believe it, 3rd January already,Craft Den has been spring cleaned, washing on the line and blowing nicely in the breeze and the kitchen door is open - Yes it's 12 degrees here, what is going on .......

January is a busy Birthday month in our family so here's something I put together for my Auntie. It's got to be a first being a day ahead of myself.

The butterflies were cut on the Cricut and layered up onto some paper stash I found in a box whilst having a clear out.

On the sewing front my fabric has been cut out - just need to negotiate a convenient time to access the sewing machine as my DD is constructing a 1920's style bag for her textiles course work!!

Have a creative day

Spinning Christmas Tree

It's amazing what a bit of 'R&R' can do to get the creative juices flowing.

I've been out and bought some fabric and I'm gonna have a go with a sewing machine.... can you hear the family groan!!!!!! I have a pattern for a lovely owl cushion and have decided to confront those school sewing class nightmares... watch this space.

Christmas at home was a busy affair - Maria and family came to stay and we had a lovely time. The cairn terrorist played her famous christmas role - how to make a christmas tree spin. She seems to like dragging the tinsel off the bottom of the tree and send the baubles flying whilst rubbing her back on the branches!

I got some delicious crafty goodies from Santa aka Maria and today is the day I get to play with them.

I'll leave you with more Dylusion Inkiness and Wish You All The Best For the New Year

Dylusion Play Day

 

Firstly I just wanted to say a Big Thank you to all you lovely bloggers who have thanked me for my posting efforts on the SplodgeAway Design Team. I have now stepped down as DT Coordinator and wish everyone well in their new roles.

This journal page was something that just came together. I'm completely addicted to the creative possibilities of these dylusion inks. For me the fact that the nozzels never block is genius. Nothing more frustrating than a blocked nozzel to starve the creative zone of inspiration. This week at school I raided the recycle bin for some star shaped bubble wrap - can't wait to see what results we get with that.

Thank you to all the Ladies who came to the Clarity Stampers North East Day last week. It was great spending time with you and I promise I'm on the case for bookings for next year!!

TFL and Enjoy your day

A Girl Can Dream

Well, having done Glasgow, Burnley, Birmingham etc etc I'm dreaming of putting my feet up and wearing my slippers for a couple of day before I think about planning for our trip to the Clothes Show Live and going shopping for some sparkly shoes.

This was something I put together for a bit of fun. Don't you just love those quirky quotes that make you smile!

and I need a pair of super dangerous Red Sparkly Boots......

Looking forward to catching up with the Clarity Stampers North East Crew later in November.

Skating On Thin Ice

Just a quick post today to say that I will be demonstrating at The Craft Range Burnley, tomorrow from 10.15am onwards and hope to see you there.

I got to play yesterday and decided that the quote was quite apt for the moment!!

All the products are available from The Craft Range.

Enjoy

Cake Box

This was a present for a friend - when we've been shopping she just loves to find a cookery shop and can spend ages browsing pans, tins and cup cake cases. Her collection of cake pans is amazing and her baking skills pay homage to the great Mary Berry.
