My new garden kits

 Morning all. A really quick post from me today as time is not on my side this week!!. just wanted to share some of the latest things i have been working on with you. First up is some childrens garden sets i have been working on.  Each set includes 3 metal garden tools, garden gloves and metal tin bucket and a drawstring bag to put everything in.  I've had this idea for a while but haven't had time till now to make some.  They have been proving very popular over on my Facebook Page 

 Next up is this wooden photo frame i made for a customer.  love the cute boys name!

 These little kitties are now off to their new home

 And finally my latest crayon roll.  If you want some instructions on how to make these pop over to the fabSkip to me lou

What Glorious Weather

How gorgeous is the lovely sunshine we have had all weekend?.  I love it. Everything seems better with sunshine doesn't it?.  We made the most of it on Sunday and took little Miss G to out local adventure park and then went out to our favourite restaurant for tea.Lets hope it stays like this for a while.

So what crafting have you all been up to?.  I have been on random projects this week including:-

 This first two photo's are gifts for my friend who's foster children are changing school and she wanted a thank you gift for the teachers

 At the moment I'm loving making photo frames.  They are so much fun to do and easy enough for anyone to try.  The good think is that you can use any scrap embellishments up too.  These two were for a lady who has twin girls called poppy and daisy and she had seen a a poppy photo frame i had made and asked if i could do another and also a daisy themed one too.

 This last one is an IPhone case in lovely Cath Kidston stanley fabric. One day i will get round to make one of these for myself to keep!.

Happy Mothers Day

Hope everyone had a lovely Mothers Day yesterday. I spent the whole morning catching up on my guilty please Desperate Housewives on Sky Plus. I think it’s the longest period of time I’ve spent chilling out all year!. It was fab. Mr G and Little Miss G also took me out to lunch as well. The best bit by far was the gorgeous handmade card that little Miss G made me.

So what did everyone else get up to yesterday?

Whilst I’m here catching up I’ll share some of my latest makes with you.  Up first is some baby wipe holders in my latest favourite fabric. How cool are these fab bright designs!.

 This next item was an order for a lady.  Thisis a fairly easy project to do all you need is a wooden rectangle blank and some wooden shoes but you could always substitute these with foam or card shoe shapes.

 This next one was a commission for a lady who wanted a poppy photo frame for

her mum for mothers day. 

 This last plaque was one i made for My Mother In Law off little Miss G for Mothers Day.

Back from the sun!

We came ack from hols on monday night and it has done nothing but rain since :-(. I feel like my tan has evaporated and i'm mad busy at work and with orders and restocking at Btany Bay.  Its like i have never been away.... (but was fab whilst it lasted!)anyway thought i would share a couple of pics from hols and a couple of recent makes with you all. 

 This photo frame is one of my faves and i almost resisted listing it in my shop as i want to keep it myself!

Today's post is to show you a recent make using my latest obsession - buttons!!. 

I took a plain wood photo frame and spray painted it white then i added buttons and brads to embellish it and added co-ordinating paper.  I love how it turned out.  This one went to Botany Bay last week and has sold already.  I have a couple more of the frames so i'll probably have a go at doing a few more when i get back from my hols.  Did i mention i am in gran canaria at the moment :-).

Hope you are all chilling back home...

Half term and a little bit of creativity.

This week is half term so i am off with Miss G.  We have all been to Edinburgh for a long weekend which was a lovely break (apart from the weather!).  Thanks to the lovely Pootle for idea's of what to do and local craft shops.  I didn't manage to sneak to any of the craft shops whilst we were there but i did get to Cath Kidston and buy some lovely fabric.  Because its been half term i haven't had much chance to craft so i only have a few projects to show and they are mainly makes for my Folksy and Facebook shops as i have sold another 8 items in the last few days...

 I bought this as a plain untreated wood frame and sanded it down painted it white and added chipboard embellishments and East of India ribbon and backing card.

 This Grandad frame was also bought as a blank canvas and i have white washed it and sanded it in parts to give a worn effect then added Grandad and mod podged of the letters to make them durable and added a layered chipboard embellishemnt and co-ordinating backing paper.

 I had a number of wooden sheep left over from Easter and spring projects so i thought they would make nice keepsakes for Fathers Day.

 And finally a mobile phone case made using cath kidston Stanley fabric.

Now i'm off out into the garden as its a gorgeous day and lili has a friend coming over.  Have a nice day everyday x
