Autumn is almost here

The clocks have not even gone back yet but sure feels like Autumn is here, some of the leaves are turning and the thought of hot chocolate and homemade marshmallows is becoming more appealing not to mention warm cider with ice cream and caramel sauce, yumm!!

What have I been making this week? another Christmas Card this time a double easel for a couple, love the art deco era.

Fairy Wands

A different take on a card a fairy wand with a gift tag, embellished with ribbons, feather and rose, the back of the tag has been left blank, measuring approx 5.5" tall. Wording on tag: Fairy Blessings, A sprinkle of magic or Fairydust. Each tag is different so a lucky dip.

Hair Combs

Quick and easy but still pretty, paper roses with organza ribbon bow.

Finally a card using Anna Griffin papers. The flower is hand drawn and cut out in different sizes, petals shaped with a hint of glitter, the butterfly adds extra sparkle.

Cannot believe how I managed it but a Christmas Card, Birthday Card, 12 Wands and 6 hair combs. What next?......

Another trinket box

Another Monday in Craft Land, due to Shiloh (puppy) not crafting as much as I would like but have managed to make another trinket box. These are easy to do at the kitchen table and small enough to sit on a tray and be moved for mealtimes. Using up bits I have collected over a period of time, those may use treasures sourced from various avenues, of which I do have a plethora but they do not eat or drink nor doing any harm that is my excuse and sticking to it.

 

A Christmas card for MIL, she loves robins and thought the shaker card would keep her attention.

A new friendly craft forum for those in  business or just a hobby.

 For a short period we are offering new members the option of putting an advert 

or link in our business directory. Join us for coffee chat and more just click on the logo and look forward to seeing you there.

Letters into words

Phew! did not think I was going to make it. A gentleman emailed me after googling and finding my post on a forum thread last year! about letter cushions, he wanted them for his nephews birthday on the 22nd August. Agreed to do, ran out of stuffing ordered some more arrive hated the quality so had to unstuff another cushion I had made. It will be used but would be better suited for a cushion that has an inner pillow, hope that makes sense. Just hope my customer is happy with the result now.Not much else done due to a distraction that arrived last week, he has his own blog and will be updating later in the week.
