New stash

Afternoon all.. Thought I'd share my new stash with you I got this morning at the Craft At Home closing down sale.

Think my biggest bargain of the day was all my 12 x 12 papers which are all down to 20p each!!!
I'll need to take another trip over during the week too as Angela is still finding more stock upstairs which she is bringing down on a regular basis and everything in the shop must go before next Sat and that includes the paper storage units too.

Hopefully I'll grab another few bargains before the week is up and with that said I'm off to have a rummage and find a little something to craft away on just now.

Toodles for now.

Love 'n' hugs

Another good day

Evening all and hope it's been a good day for all of you.

I've had a fun filled day at Debbi Moore's workshop catching up with old friends and facebook buddies too. What a fab lot of girls they were and needless to say there was as much mischief going on this time as what there was at the last one. Bargains galore were being snatched from the shop tables and lots of pink bags being packed for them to carry off home.

This picture was taken during the lunch time break so they were slightly quieter then as they were busy eating to regain their strength ready for the afternoon session.

So that's basically been my day, well there was a wee bit of housework and dinner when I got home but I'm putting my feet up for the rest of the night now and chilling.

I hear the kettle boiling now so I'll bid you good night and will catch you all tomorrow again.

Toodles for now.

Evening all..

Well I did think I would have had time to post earlier in the day but time has just disappeared on me.. Lol. Housework this morning, hairdresser at noon but they were running late so didn't get back here till 2pm. Lunch, packed some orders, facebook chat then had a nosey at what I'll be demoing at the SECC. By that time hubby was arriving home from work, had a wee chat with him, watched the neighbours 3 year old being brought home by the police as he had decided to wander off, trip to Asda and now home to have my dinner. After that it's time to dye my hair and finally I might get to do some crafting.. Lol.

Tomorrow I'm helping out at a Debbi Moore workshop so will try and share some pics.

Hope you've all had a fab day.

I'm back...

Well good evening folks.. hope you are all keeping well and enjoying life..  sorry I've been missing for so long but have been pretty busy and clearing out old stash from the craft room too into the bargain.  Now that I've pulled a lot of it out the craft room is a complete mess again so it is in dire need of a clean up which will probably take place tomorrow and I can get started working in here again instead of in the dining room or living room as has been the case for the last few weeks.

Friday I will be spending with Debbi Moore and her mum at the workshop in Motherwell so may not get much done that day.. no doubt I will be gabbing too much but will hopefully start getting projects uploaded again over the weekend and I have lots to do between commissions, samples and prep for a few craft fairs I will be working my wee fingers to the bone.. lol.

Guess I really should go organise dinner now as hubby is on his way home from the gym but I'll be back again soon.. I promise..

Love 'n' hugs to you all

Chill time

Evening all and sorry it's so late today but it's been a bit none stop since I got up this morning.. Lol

8am alarm goes off.. Up and got the house all organised, animals tended to etc, washed dressed and out the door to collect Ann before heading in to Damselfly Crafts. Arrived there, loaded car and then set off for Clydebank Shopping Centre where we spent the day doing decopatch with the kids. Finished at 4pm, cleaned up, packed car and headed back to Damselfly to return goodies. Then dropped Ann back at hers and headed home myself.. Was after 6pm when I got here. Wee chat with mum and Rob then onto the net to upload more craft goodies for sale.. Printed off orders and finally sat down for dinner just after 10pm.. Packed today's orders ready for posting tomorrow, into pj's and have finally got my feet up chilling.. Now you can't say you have no idea what I got up to today.. Lol.

Hope you've all had a good day and got lots of lovely things planned for the weekend ahead. I'm off to make a wee cuppa then think I'll be heading off to bed.. Back with you all tomorrow again.

Love 'n' hugs

Last night's choice

Morning all.. Another overcast day here again but still a bit muggy with it.. I wonder if we will have any more sun this year or if we've already seen the best of it.. I'll get back to you at christmas with the answer.. Lol.

Well last night I decided to have a wee play with this handmade glass vase.. Another quick and easy project but not quite sure I'm entirely finished with it yet.. I'll post pics of it's current condition just as soon as I finish the housework as the upholstery inspector is due today again.. Wonder what he'll have to say on the condition of this sofa!!!

Right I'm off to batter on as the sooner I'm finished the sooner I can move on to better things.. Toodles for now.

Last night's makes

Morning all.. Another muggy and overcast day here again.. Wonder if that means more downpours again.. Think I need to buy myself a new pair wellies soon.. Lol

Anyway.. Had a wee play last with some beads last night after hubby went to bed and managed to make 2 choker's.. Really need to get making more stuff and empty this bead box a little. Oh and I need to use my good old Hougie Board to make some presentation boxes for them too.

Hope you all have a fab day ahead.. Right now it's time for me to get the housework done so I can get into my craft room for a few hours later on.

Sleep well everyone.

Better pic..

Sorry everyone.. Just realised how dark yesterday's pics were so have taken a better one with more light on it..

Considering making some jewellery tonight whilst watching tv with the old man.. We paid a visit to the new Riverside Museum and it was heaving.. Queues for the car park and it was literally 1 in and 1 out.. Nice that they've got the tall ship there just now too though we didn't go on as the sky was looking a bit questionable.. Did we make the right decision or what.. We were quite literally all of about 10 seconds back into the car when the heavens opened.

Well.. Off to go have a rummage and pull out the beads etc and see what I can come up with.. Hope you've all had a fab day.

Love 'n' hugs
