topsy turvy

oops the pics are at the wrong end, I really do need to blog more then maybe I'll get the hang of it, lol
Well I went off to the SCC in Manchester last friday, never been on friday before but it was a much more chilled atmosphere and by 2pm it was quiet enought to have a good look round, I only did one class and that was to make a purse with simply made, it was a good deal as to buy the ready made purse would have cost £22 the class was only a fiver! I spent way more than I intended but chose carefully and got some bargains from everycratsapound, including a set of My Minds Eyes stamps for £1 the exact same set is £7.99 in the range, I also bought the Tonic punching system, which I love, th rest was bits and bobs and a stack of card from payperbox.
Next craft event on my agenda is GNPE in Harrogate in march which is 3 day before my birthday so my friend is taking me to Betty's tearooms.
bye for now x

Kung hey fat choi!

Well it's the year of the rabbit, can't remember what my chinese sign is I think it's probably dragon lol, Gosh it's an age since I blogged, I keep meaning to but then I get sidetracked, but I'm gonna try, yeah you've heard that one before. Thing is my time is allover the place, I have a job, I see to my mum, I have a family and a dog, so that's a lot of my time taken.

My Baby dog has been diagnosed with heart problems so that's been a massive worry, but the meds seem to have helped a lot thanks goodness and he's got a check up on tues.

Now for my latest craft makes, I have a thing about flowers at the moment and made these today

Candles- New Passion

As christmas is approaching I thought I would decorate some candles to sell as gifts, I have quite enjoyed decorating them and I'm taking them to work tomorow to see if I can get some orders, (fingers crossed). Last year I made quite a lot of jewellery and handbag charms which sold rather well. I have also made a couple of other things, I enjoy doing decopatch and recently made this mirror too, I'll catch up with my blog soon, just been too busy and not had time.

CHRISTMAS AND A DALEK CARD

Been busy today, decided to have another crack at the crafters companion cute companions cards, they are lovely but I find them quite time consuming as I'm a slow cutter outter, just need to find some odd sized envelopes now. Also is a Dalek card that I was asked to make for John's partner at work, he specifally asked for something with a Dalek on as Neil is Dr Who mad, I'm hoping he likes the one I've made, I put glossy accents on to juzz it up a bit, I made it into an easel card for a change, sorry the pics aren't very good but hey, I'm crap at taking photo's lol. Eeee if I didn't HAVE to go to work I could play all day, my dream would be to work in a crafty environment. I'm hoping to free up another day at work by adding my 3 1/2 stupid shift onto friday, It'll mean working all day friday, but an extra day off. I plan to try and volunteer somewhere to try and get my foot in the door as I really don't fancy doing the job I do for the next 19 years till I retire!

scarf, mum, and other titbits

Upside down blogging again, lol, I always forget which order to do things, never mind. I have since coloured my hair with an ash blonde after seeing a tad yellow on the piccy. Ilove the ash it's much softer, I also discovered I can wear eyeliner now in navy blue, again less harsh, and a smidge of gold eyeshadow. I took a tip from twiggy after noticing on a picture how blue her eyes looked by wearing those colours. Isn't the christmas card gorgeous, it has been made with the 12 days of christmas stamps by clarity, Lynne has done a fabulous job.

Sorry for being awol, last time I tried to blog, I lost it all and didn't get round to re doing it, so here's a mish mash of latest happenings. I went to Doncater with my friend and had a long but enjoyable day, I bumped into the lovely Kirsty wiseman who I make cards for as a design team member, but the last 2 lots I've made, I've forgot to photograph doh!, I just love a good craft fair so much so that I'm off to The CREATIVE STITCH AND CRAFTS SHOW in Manchester at the beginning of september, can't wait, for 2 reasons, I just love september, it's the onset of autumn, my favourite time of year and it's also the craft show! I've snook a piccy in of my mum with simba my dog. I also recieved a gorgeous card on a swap forum that I'm in, its a christmas card swap, isn't it gorgeous. There's also a piccy of me and Kirsty at Doncaster.

I've also started to knit a scarf, it's sooooooooooo easy it's untrue, all you do is weave 8 stitches onto a needle from the woven wool, then continue to knit 8 stitches, it forms ruffles in 3 varigrated colours, it's sooooooo additive and only cost a fiver for the yarn, might get another bundle at Scc.

sorry my post is in cyberspace some where, will try again tomorow
