Do you like my Bonnet??

Hello All

So......I've decided that I'll show you a picture of me in my bonnet (that was made for me by Elaine)and one of Elaine and I together at our shared table at the Shifnal Victorian Craft Fair.  It was a fun day, including the dressing up in fact.

 

Happy Crafting

Shifnal Victorian Craft Fair

Good Evening All

Hope you're all well and looking forward to the weekend.  I certainly am as I'm going to be taking part in the Shifnal Victorian Craft Fair on Sunday afternoon, in the village hall.  It's all part of the Shifnal Festival which has already started.  Craft Fair is on from 12noon - 5pm Sunday.  If you're in the area, please pop in and say hello!

We are required to dress appropriately......hmm, this I am not so looking forward to but it's all in the spirit of the festival and maybe, just maybe nobody will recognise me in my bonnet!!

Stamp set's used: The Open Sea & Petite Pairs
Punch used: Modern Label













Come along and see what we all have to offer.

Sweet Pressed Cookie Stamps

Good Afternoon All

I've finally found a minute to sit down and show you what gorgeous delights can be made using the Sweet Pressed Cookie Stamps on page 15 of the Autumn/Winter Catalogue.  Needless to say that it's not just one batch that's been made and devoured in this house but many - I love these and the recipe that comes with them is yummy too.............or so I'm told;-)  Ok, who am I kidding, very yummy cookies!

 

Happy Stamping (and eating)

Greenhouse Garden.....retiring:-(

Good Afternoon All

Hope you've had a fab weekend.  I know that I have and it all started with a lovely craft class yesterday morning where the ladies had lots of fun and laughter whilst doing their projects!

We used one of my favourite stamp set's which is retiring, Greenhouse Garden!  Clearly, since it's one of my favourites I'll still continue to use it but thought that I'd showcase it along with some of the lovely new buttons and ribbon sliders from the NEW Autumn/Winter Catalogue

We made a gift box and slider card, which tested some patience and meant that my class had to listen to me for............oh, at least 10 seconds of the 2 hours.  Give them their due, they did manage to listen for this length of time! Well done ladies your projects were all PERFECT!

Stamp set used: Greenhouse Garden (retiring)
Punches used: 1 " circle punch, Scallop Border
Accessories used: Crop-a-dile (retiring)
