Busy few days

Wow! these last few days have been so busy I have barely had time to eat;
I now have my own craft room instead of taking over the dining room,
and its so nice to be able to eat at the table like civilized people.
I have loads of work space and plenty of room to store my ever growing stash.

I have had a bit of time in the evenings to make these pieces of jewellery, all made from genuine Swarovski crystal and they are for sale if any one is interested?

It's been too long!!

I can't believe it's been 19 days since my last post, as usual I have been rather busy with various projects which I am pleased to say are almost complete now, and this one is by far the most challenging project I have done so far.

This is what I have been busy doing, a guest book and box for an Indian Wedding, It has taken many hours to complete and a bit of stress on the way.The book & box has been padded and covered with a wedding sari from the brides family and the pages have been bound in a traditional way; I printed the photo onto silk as it gives a softer tone and the spine has been covered with edging that was also on the Sari. The box started off as an A4 box file and has been covered in the same way as the book I have also lightly padded inside and covered in a satin fabric.
I am also putting together an 8x8 scrapbook so that the happy couple can have a page for each of their celebrations through their married life. Maybe I will have time to do something for myself again soon!

Nanna's day out

It's been far too long since my last post but I have been ataying with my Daughter and Grandaughter so have not done much crafting.

At the end of April I went to Amners Open farm in Burghfield, Berkshire. It was officially my first outing with my "Little Princess" and I had a fantastic day, However it took me a few weeks before I scrapped the photographs. I have used Heidi Grace papers that have the feel of spring to them. The large stamped images are Magnolia's Tilda with Lamb which were perfect to go with the photo of Hannah with thee Lamb on her lap, and the small stamped images are Forest Friends from Stampin Up.

Sunday's Crop

These are the pages I managed to create yesterday at the crop; had a great day with friends to chat to. Didn't have cake this week though, trying to be good!!

Embossing and decoupage

Made this card for my Mother-in-law today, used one of my embossing plates for a change and cut some of the pattern away, then placed tiny dots of liquid pearls to the centre of the flowers; the Pansy's are decoupaged. It will not be a good idea to post this card!!

Something different

I love altered art but do not have enough time to play very often; I've had the bits for this watch for a couple of years, now it is made I have no idea what to do with it; any ideas are most welcome.






Had this mini canvas for a year or so too! finally got round to doing something with it. I used crackle diamond glaze on the image to make it age a little, the clip has been coloured with alcohol inks and the tag has been spritzed with alcohol inks watered down.

Wedding Cuff Bracelet

I finished this bracelet Last night, it's made up of AB coated seed beads silver lined seed beads and tiny Swarovski crystals; the picture does not do this bracelet justice as the Aurora Borealis coating on the seed beads makes it sparkle but you cannot see it on the photo.
