Crafting Makes The World go Round

Hi My Crafty Friends

Just a short  sweet post ,just to let you know that I am still in blogland.After quite a few days of glorious sunshine in the North West of the UK we have woke up to such a gloomy day.

It didn't seem to both my little Westy dog, as he just sat in the garden looking up at the skies and watching the rain come down.He just loves loves the rain,but when I tempted him to come back in ,his treat won the day.

Here is my little westy waiting for his treat,doesn't he look so cute?

I haven't done an awful lot of crafting this last week as I am having major problems with my joints so have really had to watch what I am doing.Sleeping has been a nightmare and I have wished I could unscrew my arms ,take them off and put them on in the morning as they have been hurting so much in bed.

I love crafting ,but it can take over so much of your house.
Does anyone else have the same problem?My kitchen table should be called my crafting table as very rarely clear from crafty bits and peices.My other half sat down for his tea last night and said"which bit is my food".

I said don't exagerate your only sharing the table with a couple of my crafty bits.
Not quite true as it is rather full,so today I am going to try and tidy up ,so at least he does not have to share his food with trimmers,paper,punches ribbons and so much more.

Well, I am just waiting for my Stampin Up order to arrive,my little westy frightens the poor delivery guy to death. When my first delivery arrived he was petrified ,he thought I had a huge Alsation dog,but he started laughing when I told him it was a just a little small westy .


Hope you all have a wonderful day whatever you are doing and will speak to you all soon.

Crafty Easy Photograph Frames-A little Stampin Up

Hi All

My word I have actually had chance to get onto the the computer and try and catch up with everything.
This Bank holiday has been really busy with my family coming down from Durham,Thankfully they have all gone back home now as they are back in school tomorrow.

They love coming to my home, as they love crafting and just love my crafty stash.
This time the 2 oldest children covered little brown craft oval boxes which I had picked up in  the SALE in the RANGE shop.
They ripped loads of very colourful bits of paper and glued then directly onto the boxes.They looked really effective ,but I forgot to take photies of the.They have promised to send me pictures as I said I will make them some paper photo frames for them to be displayed in.

"Yes" these where the same frames as I had shown the craft group how to make at the last meetup.
Below are the style which I demonstrated at the group.They are so SIMPLE ,but so EFFECTIVE.

This little freestanding frame originally had my partner and son in,but when I told them I was taking it to the craft group they became photo shy.So now I had just an empty frame so I stamped a little scene from one of my STAMPIN UP SETS which looks very pretty and matches the colour of the frame perfectly.

The ladies who joined in said this was a lovely project to try as it was such a practical item.Of course you can fancy it up in your own style this was just to show you one of the ways how to make it look eyecatching.

Why not join us for our next meetup which is on
