ooo soo excited ... off to the paper show

We don't have many shows down here in the south ... but I always try to get to the Sincerely yours paper show ... have made a list ... dh said "oh you don't want any more crafty bits do you !!" ...

Stupid question ... Of course I do ... well actually I don't want them ... I NEED them ...

hope you are all staying safe and Brian isn't causing too much trouble for you ...

oh dear not sure what has happened at do-crafts !!

Its an awful shame because there will not be a blog hop now ... seems to have been a bit of trouble ...

So I will hop about on my own lol

Had fun with this little card and when my grandson came over ( Ols he is 10 going on 21) ... I showed it to him because he is quite crafty he loved the night time scene with the moon and dark sky ... but Grandma he said ... you had to have a dark sky didn't you ... it would not have looked the same with a moon on a summer sky ... SO ...

night time sky 

day time sky

 cant wait for him to come over again

new dies from the works

had a happy shop in Chichester today ...

got some lovely Christmas words ... have not really branched out into Christmas dies yet but I WAS very happy with them ... until I got home and tried them out ... Grrrrr ... they did not cut very well then I remembered somebody saying place a sheet of waxed paper or greaseproof paper between the die and the paper ...

BINGO ... works a treat ... these are the dies

couldn't decide what they said so this is how they cut out lol 

don't know if you are looking for any but they are on £5 ... thought that was a good price 

Oh my goodness something strange has happened to my blog ... can't sort it now ... have to have a lookie tomorrow xx

hubby is on the mend ... and new stash !!

hi there my crafty friends ... hubby is on the mend thank goodness ... didn't want to look in his mouth tho lol ...

went to the market in the village today and got some great crafty bits in one of the charity shops ... the lady said £2 ... but I felt really bad and gave her £3 ... a real bargain ...

just love the little pots of embossing powder have not seen them before ... they are probably so old they wont work but worth a go ... don't know if you can read the instructions on the pots but it says
"expose the image to a heat source i.e. light bulb toaster or low grill"
the address says blue cat toys Silver Street South Cerney Glos GL7 5TS

here is a photo of the goodies ... cant wait to start trying them out

oh dear sorry ... don't seem to be able to add a photo ... will try again later xx

well that's strange ... shut down and went for dinner ... now working ... how does that happen !!

toothy peg out ouch !!

okie my dear friends ... well that will do for now ... I LOVE THE NEW LOOK  ... not sure about the blue ... but got other things to get on with ...

love to hear what you think !! ... please don't say go back to what it was ... coz no idea what it was lol

what an awful day ... don't think it has stopped raining all day ...

had to go with dear hubby to have a tooth extraction (him that is ... not me !) ... he is feeling very sore now ... it was a big back tooth and was impacted ... two stiches that are dissolvable hope it heals ok

have a good week everybody ... hope the weather improves

A work in progress lol...

A work in progress ...  Decided it's about time for a change in my blog bits ... maybe a while before I am happy with it ... but please watch this space .

hope you are all having a great weekend
