Hello Everyone.What a cold, wet and miserable day it is - ideal for crafting (if only routine things like work didn't get in the way).Today sees the start of a new challenge at The Cutie Pie blog, and this time round we would like to see those pearls and swirls. We have two fab sponsors again, the first is My Mums Craft Shop, and the second is the wonderful Digital Artist Sylvia Zet with her Wee

Morning All.Well it's a lovely sunny morning here in Essex, and just for a change in my life I'm waiting in for a plumber again - why oh why did I ever think it was a good idea to change the bathroom in our house lol.Anyhow, on a better note, it is time for the start of a new challenge over at Here Come The Boys - and this time we would like to see your male orientated 'Vintage' creations (gosh,

Morning All.Hope you are all keeping toasty and wrm in this cold weather. We still have loads of snow where I am in Essex, but where it started to thaw everything has gone icey - it's horrid on the pavements, so it will be a slow slide to and from school today.Oh well, todays card will show you some love to wam you all up.

Morning All.Well, regardless of all the snow still around and the freezing fog, both children have made it to school - hurray (from me), boo (from the kids). But I have cancelled tomorrow nights class, as I don't fancy my lovely ladies being out and about in dark icy conditions, so sorry ladies, and I'll see you in a fortnight.Todays creation is something very different than my normal things - it

Morning All.Well where did all this snow come from overnight, nothing when I went to bed and a good 6inch this morning - it does look very pretty though, as long as I can stay indoors. Must admit, I'm dreading the school run tomorrow. Anyhow, today sees the start of a new challenge at Here Come The Boys, where we would like to see your creations relating to your favourite songs.

Afternoon All.Well, I must apologise in advance for this being a long post, but I have quite a lot to tell you all.Yesterday was a very exciting day for me, as I was picked as 'Talent Of The Day' at Joanna Sheens challenge blog, which was such a surprise and honor. I must say a huge thank you to Sue for emailing me to let me know the good news, thank Sue.Then whilst going through my comments,

Morning All.Where did that weekend go? I failed to do any crafting, but instead tackled every wardrobe in the house, so now I have a huge heap of the childrens and my clothes that no longer fit, that I'm not quite sure what to do with. I think I could start my own charity shop, there are so many. Anyhow, at least when I came to put the ironig away, the clothes now actually fit in the cupboards

Afternoon All.Well it's another grey day here in Essex, and rather than a fun day crafting, I've had to do exciting things like go food shopping, and try and exchange wrong size Christmas gifts and all that sort of thing - not fun. But hey, have finally made it home, unpacked, made a coffee, and thought I'd better upload my DT card for the new challenge at Here Come The Boys that starts

Hello everyone, and belated Happy New Year To You All.Well, what a foul day it is here in Essex, the wind is howling, it's cold and absolutely throwing it down with rain. Big son has gone back to school, hubby is back at work so just me and youngest at home. I'm supposed to be catching up with the much neglected domestic stuff, but then got side tracked into making my first card of the New Year,

Afternoon All,Just thought I'd do a quick post and share one of the snowman cards that the ladies made in class this week. It is another one of my favourite LOTV stamps, coloured with my trusty ProMarkers. The backing papers are from Craft Creations, and the snowflakes are cut using a combination of Spellbinders and Marianne Design dies. The charm is one from my shop. Just a quick reminder that I

Morning All.Well the kids are excited as they have a day off from school because of the strikes, and actually it's quite nice staying tucked up and warm rather than doing the school run.Today also sees the last challenge of the year from Fab 'n' Funky, and we have decided to end on an 'anything goes' challenge.I thought I'd step away from Christmas for this challenge, and have made a tepee Tatty

Morning All.Well lately all the cards I seem to blog are DT creations, so just for a change I thought I'd blog a card just because I'd made it.I used this card in one of my House Mouse classes earlier in the year, and all my ladies seemed to like it, until it came to colouring in the fir tree - thank goodness for ProMarker fine tips, else I think it would have been an impossible task.

Morning All.Well, what a lovely day we had yesterday. We had to go shopping to buy my eldest some new school shoes, as his had fallen to pieces after just 3 months - and I admit I was dreading the prospect. Anyhow we set off to Southend, and managed to find a pair of shoes in the first shop - amazing. We done a bit of Christmas shopping, then went down to the seafront and played in the arcades

Morning All.I've just looked out the window and he world seems to have disappeared into the fog. I think it's a shame that it can't be a snuggle up and play day in the warm, rather than work day :o(Today sees the start of the 100th challenge at Fab 'n' Funky, which is all very exciting.

Hello All.Sorry for my absense, but I have not felt much like blogging over the past week, as very sadly my second cat was knocked down and killed by a car. That's both my furry babies in three weeks - life seems so unfair sometimes. But what makes me even crosser is that neither driver stopped.Also the bathroom that should have taken 10 days, is still on going with no end in sight, but all you

Morning All.I was wondering if everyone else's body clocks are as confused as mine with this gaining an hour business. It's nice to have the extra hour, but is it worth the confussion it causes?Anyhow a quick bathroom update, just incase anyone is intrested - we have a working loo, bath and sink. Plus the lovely shiny towel rails went in yesterday, leading to the heating plumber coming back to

Morning All.Well it's day 9 now and we only had the plumber for a few hours yesterday, but the shower pipes are now in postion, the bath is now in place, altough not fixed and the old radiator is off the wall. It was so full of black gunk that the plumber now wants to clean all the radiators in the house to see if he can get the whole system working better - which is good, and bad all in one.

Morning All.Well we are now on day 8 of the bathroom, and there is no light at the end of the tunnel yet or in the ceiling come to that. The sink and toilet have both been connected then unconnected then reconnected as they leaked slightly. Then when the poor plumber started to channel the wall out to run the pipes up for the shower, he placed his chisel, hit it with a hammer to make a start and

Morning All.It's day 2 of the bathroom, and so far the old room has been completely striped out and is now sitting on my drive. My little man was very worried last night that someone may steal the old loo, and I had to explain that actually I didn't mind as it would save me taking it to the dump lol. Today the ceiling and walls are being plastered, and the new door frame etc are being put in.

Morning All.Well my house has turned into the house of chaos again, as we are having a new bathroom fitted (whoopie), but I think I've turned from a crafter to a teas-maid. But it will be lovely when it's all finished. For the first time since we moved into the house, we should be able to have a shower in the ensuite - hopefully without water dripping in the lounge :o)Anyhow, back to today's

Don't faint, but I'm back again with my third post of the day.This is a card I've done for a christening, but the little girl is well over a year old, so baby images did not seem to suit, so instead I have used the Cuttlebug embossing folder of Tinkerbell. I have glittered the embossed areas, and sewn beads to the fairy dust coming from her wand. The charm is one from my shop, and the DP will be

Evening All.I am sorry this is late today, but my youngest and I decided it was such a lovely day that we should go to the seaside. So instead of posting on my blog, and doing all the boring jobs around the house, we have had a picnic on Southend seafront, played in the penny arcades, eaten too much ice cream, and basically had a fab day.So now with little boy asleep on sofa - think he's a bit

Morning All.I thought I'd pop by and share one of the cards my ladies made yesterday. The idea of the class was to make your own floral embellishments, so on this card they have made roses using spirals cut fro circles. The image is one of my favourites from LOTV, which as been coloured with ProMarkers, then sparkled up using glamour dust. They found the roses a bit tricky to start with, but soon
