AWOL......

Finished my scarf with the lovely Indie wool :) and cause i have thing about buttons so added a few, I managed to get it finished in time for my break with hubs to Prague!

Things have been manic at work lately so a few things have had to be organised and let go. I took the hard decision to step down from the Sunday Sketch & Stamp design team, I have had a fantastic time with the very talented team but I have been unable to commit to my deadlines, so i decided it was in the best interests of all that I let someone else have some fun :)

Below is some pics of orders & new kiddie craft range now in stock!!

Sunday Sketch & Stamp Challenge

Sunday Sketch & Stamp Challenge

Sorry peeps I am megga late with this weeks challenge :( technology issues!!!

But we're here and this weeks sketch stumped me as I dont have an oval shape lol will have to wort that one out!

I'm still trying to use up old supplies but I saw this image on Lianna's blog the other week from Lilli Of The Valley and fell in love with it as her colouring is just beautiful in it, I actually thought she had used a printed image sooo professional!!

Papers-K & co., flowers-Prima, Punch-Martha Stewart, colouring-Copics

Precious Metal Clay

Before.....

......After

I got some new clay in the other day & seen as it was raining today I had a lovely play, I really ordered the clay to do a couple of Precious Moments Fingertprint Pendants for customers but I fancied experimenting as its a lovely material.

Random Random

Playing with my Copics again which is great as I feel my mojo coming back a bit, I think I'm trying to do to much with the kids, business & charity, also my hubs has just moved back home after a two year stink of working away so I have decided to try let go a bit more of the third.

I am very much in the mind of, if i do it myself it gets done and its hard letting other folk take on rolls with the charity but I really have to, we have some great new people on board and they are very capable of taking some of the work load off me :) I'll keep you updated lol
These are some of the gorgeous gemstones that we took delivery off this week, I just love the earthy colours, might have to hang onto these ones and order my lovely customers in some more lol It's my birthday today and just thought i'd pop this wee guy up cause I made him yesterday and her really made me smile :D

Wool Supplies From Sirdar & King Cole Have Landed

We have been up to our eyes this weekend with the recent deliveries of wool and wow there are sooo many lush ones to choose from, I'm not a huge knitter but even I have found some stunners to play with :)

The lush new Sirdar Indie wool has been my first choice :) it is lush, we only managed to get our hands on two colour ways as they have sold out but not to worry we have dibs on the next run which should be arriving beginning of next month

I've added this little cutie in just because I managed to get a play with my Copics this week and cause she ROCKS!!

Its my turn for this weeks sketch!! don't laugh I am rubbish with computer programs so I have to draw free hand :) Anyho I hope you join in with us as we the the wonderful My Favourite Things sponsor us this week and some of the team used their lovely digi stamps

I took delivery from the lush Sweet Pea Rubber stamps this week and just had to play!! this sweetie I'm afraid has sold out & is on re-order, not that I am surprised as she is beautiful and great to colour in. The papers used are from the Inspire me flock range that we have in store & the embellishments where just old stash I had from yonks ago.

Looking forward to seeing what you guys come up with :D

Sunday Sketch & Stamp

Can you believe how fast the weeks are going by, some kind customer informed me today that its only 104 days till Christmas!!!! now that's just wrong lol

Anyhoo its time for my pic from the challenge, I am late but I was away to the Muse concert over the weekend and I took the wrong laptop with me so couldn't post my pics

I went different this week as I normally use the main pic for my rubber stamp, this time round I used the stamp as a border down the left side :D

Hope you all join us this time around as its great fun getting to look at all your work x
