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

rice paper !!

hi there my crafty friends ... well its just too hot to do anything lol ... so I am having a play in my craft room ...

I was watching hochanda a while back and saw Samantha Braund make a sort of foe rice paper / decopatch paper ...

had a try and this is my first effort ...

it is actually done using tissue paper ... don't know why I have never thought about this before ... be really nice with patterned tissue paper ...

but as you can see ... you just stamp your image on the tissue paper cut it out and tease the edges with a water brush (oh and my Chinese  teapot has special water lol ) ... I found it easier to lay the cut image on my glass cutting mat and pull around the image with the my fingernail

don't really know what I am going to do with it ... but ho hum had fun

phew its a bit hot down here in Waterlooville :) ....

not complaining but its a wee bit hot down here ... well they said it was going to be ... maybe summer is here ... not holding my breath tho lol ... hope you are all enjoying the sunshine
