Happy 2015

Hi Dahlings 

Well 2015 is nearly upon us ,so i would like to wish you all A Happy New Year .

May it be filled with love and lots of crafting .

I have about 16 coming for New Year's Eve ,plenty of food ,Roaties ,booze ,Fireworks and most of all great company ,enjoy your evening what ever you are doing .

I have been making my own stick pins over the Holiday ,which i must say is quite addictive ,so then i had to make a pin cushion for them ,i used a Tuna Tin ,cut a pillow up and put some felt round it and covered it with lace and flowers .

For some of the stick pins i put flowers on the top ,thought it was a bit different ,in fact i like this idea very much .if you don't wont to make the flowers ,there are enough company's that sell the flowers all ready done .

Thank you for popping by i really do appreciate it .

Bye for now 

See You All Soon

Well December is tumbling down ,oh how I love all the build up to Christmas .

Hi Dahlings 

Well what can I say about Oysters Retreat at Hellidon Lakes Daventry .

plenty of different crafting from Brushos Paints with Eileen Godwin .

Colouring with Hellen  Pierce using Penny Black Stamps .

Die Cutting and Flower making with me .

For my class on the Saturday they made a box with a tag ,the tag could be taken of the box and put up like a card 

The Sunday Class I used a template that has be retired and used S.B Layered Poinsettia coloured in using metallic Pan Pastels
