……its a win, win …….

So here is my newest cushion cover and in all it only really took a few hours..  I did end up making up my own pom pom flower.  As hard as I did try I could not get the one suggested.  The good thing is that the dog hasn’t realised that I have finished it yet.  I got the inspiration from one of my blog subscriptions Apple Blossom Dreams.  Astri has done a wonderful job with hers, mine is well mine lol..

I made mine with Patons Smoothie in White and something that I got from the range in Clacton on Sea. I also used some lurking blue cotton.  I used up the last little bit from my stash and sadly there is no more of that delish colour BOOOO…

Back to work for me next week.  I must say GOOD I am really tired.  There is always so much to be done at home.  But lucky for me UNLUCKY for Sonny though.  He is going back to 6th form next term hopefully and so he has about oooooohh 3mths to spare.  So guess what bitch slave boyo will be doing.  Yes all my ghastly chores that I hate.  Of course I did say to him if he does a good job I will pay him. (That’s to ease the guilt of me making him do these chores.) Anyway its a win, win, he earns a few pennies for over the summer and I get my rotten jobs done.

I think this afternoon I am going to make some bunting for yarndale and get that sent off to lucy over at attic 24. After dinner, after a wee power nap too I think lol!

I hope you are all having a wonderful Sunday xxx

A Patch of Spring…

This Possibly may be the most famous grassy wreath on the internet lol.. So of course I just had to make one.  Mum keeps touching it every time she goes by it.  Which mean my grass may become worn, I will have to change the sign to please do not fondle the grass bwahahahahaha..  I have hung it on the top door to my little flat and when you come in from the cold you see it and for some reason it does make you have a little smile..

I couldn’t help myself I had to add the butterflies otherwise how would you know its mine lol? I would love to to make your own and just drop me a line or a comment and I will come and visit your patch of spring.

You can find Patty’s Tutorial to make your very own patch of spring here http://pattyschaffer.typepad.com/capture_the_details/2010/03/monday-make-it-spring-baby-grass-wreath.html

…grabbing an hour…

*Yawns*  Well I made it to Friday, just about lol..  I am EXHAUSTED!!!.  Well I am crafting every day, but now I am back at work and the light isn’t on my side it’s like grabbing an hour in the morning.  Anyhooo This is my work desk at the moment.  There is my box of stamps, which I actually sorted out all the ones I am not going to use and have used but no longer require.  This is what I like to do.  This scissors are my favourite, they are from Tim Holtz but I don't get my fingers caught in them and they are as sharp as the day I bought them.

I started my Christmas cards today.  Yes I am medicated, yes I am medicated and yes I am medicated bwahahahahahahaa!!!  I decided to do them super early because I hated doing them in bulk last year and they drove me mad.  So I stamped up 1 set for me, 1 set for charity and 1 set to sell.  Hopefully!  I decided to make three of some of the things I make.  1 for me, one I donate to a charity and the other I want to sell.  Well The sell thing, is someone at school advised me to go to a few local shops and they buy handmade cards.  And I thought well if they don't sell I can always donate them to charity too. Tomorrow I am starting my spring cleaning.. Following Sandra’s post’s I really have only weekends and school holidays to get stuck in.  So tomorrow I am off for a haircut and then I am going to do some colouring and then DUN DUN DUN <insert screaming> I’m going to clean out my craft cupboard and I really mean go to town and have my throw out and give away boxes at hand, there is so much toot in there I have NO intentions of using so why not give it away.  And I know a girl who has just started to make her own cards.

Anyhooo I am off to bed I am sooooooooooooo tir….ZZZZZzzzzz….

Pretty Crafty Home

Last year Sandra over at My Cherry Heart decided to take action in her home.  She cleaned, spruced, organised, de-cluttered as well as decorating and making things to make her home prettier.

This year I have decided to take up her 2012 challenge, ok I know I am a year late but hey who cares lol..  So the month of January will be me spring cleaning..  I am pretty much de cluttered and organised, but there is always some drawer that gets cluttered..  If you want to join in you can.  Sandra is silently doing a PCH this year but not blogging, but that doesn’t mean you can’t join in too.

My lovely yarn came today SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

I have a few things to finish and then I am going to make a start on my little spring wreath..  Today I am proud that I am still managing to be proactive rather than a veggie on the sofa..  I made a box today for a gift, and painted another box for a gift..  Errrrr I really should have put a sealant on the box first, the acrylic paint I am using seems to disappear when I am painting.  Oh well I think one more coat and it should be lovely, I’ll show you when it’s finished.  I need to make an envelope and then I can start some challenge projects..

I am so happy to have found that I love crafting.. I get all fuzzy and excited inside when I start new projects. 

Oh also I would like to arrange some spotlight posts to my blog..  If you are interested please don't hesitate to contact me.  I think it’s all about sharing and sharing alike.

What makes you happy?
