November Class and Sneak Peaks Bags & Boxes!!!

OMG where has the last month gone to, I cannot believe I have been in my new job for a whole month, in lots of respects it feels like I have been there years, not sure if that is a good thing or not, lol!!!!  I have to say it was the best thing I ever did and am thoroughly enjoying the new challenge.  Thank you all for bearing with me whilst I settle in and now business as usual, below you will find some piccies from the November class, enjoy!







And just to tease you, those coming to the Bag and Boxes Class (ohhh I love this class!) here are a few sneak peaks!


See you soon.

October Monthly Class..

Hi ladies

Just thought I would post up the pictures of the goodies the ladies made on Saturday....


We started with the basket














Sorry picture not very good, think I played around with it a bit too much!!!!  This was made using the Top Note Die, Scallop Border Punch and the retired A Rose is a Rose stamp set.

We then did these three cards, starting with the Bouquet of Buds


Followed by the embossing folder colouring technique


And finally, we made a pansy using the Butterfly Punch.



Another great but busy day was had and I sent the ladies away with another little project for them to complete at home, more of that later, I just need to take a photo of it!!!

See you all soon,

Goodies are on their way....

Hi ladies

Just to keep you informed, have today received a notification from UPS that our parcel (actually parcels!!) are on their way from Frankfurt as we speak, I am ever hopeful they will be here tomorrow but not sure how realistic that is, more likely Monday I would guess but rest assured I shall get everything sorted and packaged asap so you can get your hands on your new goodies.

I am so excited about sorting the ribbon share, just as well I took part in it else I would be most upset dishing it all out!!  On this point, we were only able to complete the scallop dots and seam binding shares at this stage but I shall speak to those interested about the other shares and see if we can do anything about it.

See you later!

September monthly class....

Hi ladies


As promised, September class photos can be found below, another fun day was had by all.

This little notepad cover held a shopping list pad, nice little stocking filler pressie for somebody?!

This is using the resist technique.

The brick wall technique, always useful!

This is probably my favourite and the most simplest, it is as close as I get to a sympathy card but could easily be adapted for a birthday/wedding etc.

Hope you enjoy the piccies and I look forward to welcoming those of you booked on to future classes.

Please scroll down for some holiday snaps I want to share with you.

Holiday delights....

As promised, I will post last weekend's class photos here in a moment just wanted to share a couple of photos from my holiday. If you click on them you will get a bigger image so you can see them better.....



How nice is that!! This is only one reason I love the Broads so much!

This one's for Julia, does it bring back memories??


Not the most attractive I know but I just love macro photography and this dragonfly played ball with me for ages whilst I took lots of snaps!

Ah bless, there were loads of signets around this year, I have to have a daily session of feeding!! 

Another session with my macro lense, not perfect but I was reasonably pleased with the result and shall keep practising.


Next year's boat!  Yes we said we would not go next year but three days into holiday and we had already booked a long weekend, well it is for our anniversary!

I just adore this house, it always looks immaculate no matter what time of year it is, oh a girl can dream!

August Crafty Club and September Sneak Peaks

Hi ladies

Long time no speak, or it feels that way at least.  Have just got back from a fabulous two weeks on the Norfolk Broads, the weather was not too bad considering with only one wet day and one very windy day the rest was mainly sunshine and very little rain.  A lot of relaxing was gratefully received I can tell you, I am covered in bruises following various accidents over the last two weeks which is the norm on the broads and created a few laughs in the process!

I did spend some quality crafting time whilst away too which was nice prepping for the September class and getting stuff organised for the Christmas event.  Still loads to do as you can imagine but I am making inroads at least I think I am!

In my haste to get away I didn't get an opportunity to post the August class piccies so attach a few below for you.






I am gonna have a busy week, back to work tomorrow, back to college Thursday and September club Saturday not to mention prepping the new catalogue launch goodies, watch this space!!!  In the meantime, September class sneaks below.

Tote Class - 23 July 2011

Hi all

My apologies as I was meant to post pictures of the Totes created on 23 July for all to see but things have been very hectic, what's new!!

No you are not seeing things, it really is 3.40 am on Thursday morning, what a blooming hot night, have tried to sleep without success so thought I would make good use of my time.  I cannot remember who all the totes belong to but I am sure you will agree, they all look fabulous.

I have received some interest to repeat this class so if anybody is interested then please let me know.








Below is the little milk carrier and cartons I made for Lorraine, enjoy!




I really must try and get some sleep but got one more post for you!
