had little play this afternoon

shop bought bow ties

 had a little play this afternoon ... because when I went to hobbycraft the other day I got a few little bargains in a dump bin ... they are called "bow ties " and were only £2 for three

but it got me thinking ... I could make my own

so that has been my challenge this afternoon ...

dont know if I will ever use any of them on a card ... lol

but it was fun

sandys hand made bow ties

what have you all been up to today ?
hope you have had a fun weekend ... weather was beautiful here ... should have been out in the garden but rather be playing in my craft room ...

have a great week

the green and brown ones are done with tim holtz distress ink and the pink and gold ones are done with ink it up and embossing powder ... I am very pleased with the first two ... but don't like the second two so much but it was fun ...  I know Sheena does it too with glycerine but have not tried that one yet ...

I can usually find just what I am looking for on this site ...

thanks for looking ... its tgif tomorrow ... where did that week go !! sorry for all of you who have been on half term with the kids ... its a shame when it goes so quick ... especially if you had lots of jobbies to get done lol

the insert for the London card reads

To my dear sissie

 

Lie back and relax,
That's the order of the day,
Forget what's going on at work,
You'll still get all your pay,
For now is just the time,
To think of getting well,
So just chill out, relax,
You'll soon be feeling swell.

Loads of Love

a couple of birdcages ...

wow I have had a great afternoon playing in my craft room ... hubby is watching a cowboy dvd that he got for christmas ... so I know I will not be interrupted lol

I won these birdy bits a while back and I am so sorry but I can't remember who sent them to me ... but thank you who ever you are ... I love them but have not had time to use them

anyway the peachie one I have actually stamped the bird and sentiment back with some words using a tim holtz ink pad ... a bit sort of shabby if you know what I mean ... it has not come out very clear ... but is just how I wanted it ...

not sure which is my favouritist one ...

thanks for popping by

having a tidy up of my craft room

wow hubby came into my craft room today ... and sort of "huffed" think that means ... !! this place needs a bit of a tidy up ... so set about the mammoth task ...

came across a few cards that I have not uploaded so here goes ...

well now that little jobbie is done I can make a start on clearing up ...

hope you are all having a great week

I am in a purple mode can you guess ?

hi there my crafty friends ... hope you are all well ...

sorry for all of those who are coping with more than just wind and rain ...
