Found this pic lol

of a card I did for a letter 'J' swap - typical that it got lost in the post - but soooooooooooooooo glad I had taken a pic -

Can any of you tell what is REALLY unusual about this card

The Room so far........

I have been moving my stash up since my last post - still a few bits to go then the debris from the dining room and the puter desks gone through  and mainly binned - when that is finished I can get the dining room decorated and the table and chairs put in WOOOHOOOOO

So the room so far is looking lush - I keep walking into the middle of it and grinning - cant wait to get crafting in there (see - being really good and NOT getting side tracked from the tidy up by making things)

Boxes of 'bits' to be sorted

I love this 12 drawer trolley from Costco

Large plastic storage boxes and the drawers have come in handy as well

The drawers were actually 2 large and 2 small drawers and I had 4 left (gave away a couple to someone and the dude has one in the shed lol) to save floor space I built them up double sized

 The smaller plastic storage box on top (left side) has punches, lots and lots of punches

Standing at the door looking in - even the cupboards are full now and the pigeon holes are fuller.


Thinking of getting one of the hardboard pasting tables out of B & M for a tenner to use as a mega crafting table for the time being - will be able to get a knitting machine on it :)  I have a metal puter desk thing which is going in there too - idea for when the lappy goes up there and a new printer (psst  - it would be really really nice to get a robo up there too )  can also use it when using the sewing machine.

I havent shown pics of the other side of the room - there are cardboard boxes of Family Tree stuff which is going to be packed into the spare plastic storage ones.

Its taken a wee while to get this far - but it is well worth it

The Move is on!

The move to my new craft room has started - oh eck! what a lot of stash I have :)  I did about 90% of the decorating myself so it really IS my craft room lol

The first three pieces of the modular units have gone up and the fill up begun -

its very very PINK isnt it lol

Another 3 of the wooden units have gone up and the 12 drawer trolley - Thanks Paul and Chris :)

Rediscovering some of the stash that was in the bottom cupboards that I couldnt get at - ooooh pretties :)

First Attempt at Beaded Flowers

Got out the box with all the wire I have and had a pootle about - these are the results - may try the crocheted or knitted wire bracelets sometime too

 the dragon looks a bit deformed lol

oooh pretty chains

When we were in Leeds last week we found these chains being sold by the metre in the market house - got some to try

must really get some more charms

A musical journey with ERA around Brugge

A first attempt at doing something like this :)

Todays Efforts

Been a funny sort of day - weather and health wise so have pootled about and made some bracelets
