Evening all

Good evening everyone! 

I hope your all having a lovely weekend, I've had a fantastic one. Yesterday unfortunately I was working but got to finish early :D My weekend of relaxation then started. I've watched movies, eaten chocolate, seen my boyfriend and made things! My clear out session is still in progress too.

Today my sister, boyfriend and I all pitched in to make a gingerbread house. My sister is in competition with her friends to make the best so here is our entry! I must admit I ate a lot of icing today. Do you like it? 

(Yes that's my boyfriend hiding behind the house!)

I also decided that seen as this Christmas I don't have a new dress to wear on the big day, I needed to make myself a piece of jewellery. I made a batch of resin pendants when I tried resin a few months back and decided to use this flowery pendant for Christmas. Add a few charms and some suede cord and you have a cute little necklace.

I hope your weekend ends great!

What a tweet

Hey all,

I can't believe it's already Friday! I've done nothing but work and only just managed to create a few items. Also starting to clear the chest out of my room and finding so much old stuff that I really don't need anymore! Throw out session! 

Here are my items for this week.

My second handmade baulbal, this one was for my grandparents. The snowflake charms were also from crafty creatives.

These little beauties were made from goodie bag pieces! I loved the bird die cut and knew it had to take centre stage. I've inked it up and placed it on a water coloured handmade paper. This is the finished card.

Thanks for reading today!

The Shabby Tea Room Week #197

Hey all! 

It's that time of the week again! It's shabby tea room time. I look forward to this time every week, let's see what I had to play with this week.

This weeks photo was beautiful. Here it is:

We had to make a card or papercraft item using red, white, gingham and/or gingerbread. Well you know how much I like my gingerbread theme this year so this was a diddle for me! 

I came up with this design:

I liked this design so much I've already used the card for my work friends! Fingers crossed for me everyone.

Thanks for reading today.

Crafty day

Why hello! 

Today was my tidy desk/ craft day and I actually managed to get one and a half of my kits done. I'm rather proud of myself. First I decided to make a kit from my Christmas crafty creatives box (www.craftycreatives.co.uk). It was a lovely lip blam kit and I thought this would be something sticky and icky to make, but it wasn't! The kit included coconut oil (hard form), honey, sugar, pots and labels. Baisically, mix it all together to fill the five pots for a cute handmade gift! I added red food colouring to mine to add a more girly feel, but you could add food flavourings or glitter for a personal touch!

I think these are too cute! My next kit was another from my Christmas box, it was to make two cute felt baulbals. The kit included felt, stuffing, ribbon, thread and buttons. I made one round green baubal and found this sewing kit very therapeutic. I've decided to keep the other for when I stay at my boyfriends. 

More cards coming up Thursday morning everyone!

Tidying time

Evening everyone,

I bet you've missed me! I've finally realised I can't stop. This weekend has been a nightmare for me. I had a horrible migraine attack yesterday leaving me tired and achey. However my lovely mum has given me a surprise, she moved my room around for me. Unfortunately though it means she has found a load of craft items I need to make. So guess what I'm doing tomorrow.

This is what she found me. I've got a lovely day ahead tomorrow sorting This out! Watch out for a post.

Just a quick one!

Hey all! 

I've actually given myself a weekend off from making and blogging so this post will be my last until Monday! But here's a little update on the cards I made from the Papercraft Inspirations free gift. 

The lovely gift this time consisted of cake stamps and beautiful papers. The free gifts from the magazine are always great quality however this time I wasn't too keen. This was until I used them! Here are my cards.

This was the first one. I really just followed the photo of inspiration in the magazine but I felt that this wasn't my style. So I carried on to make these...

Thank you for reading everyone! See you on Monday.
