Hope you are all having a wonderfully relaxing Sunday.I was awakened very early this morning by extremely loud chirping birds in my garden.Every year about this time the birds try their haredst to wake me up extremely early,well they definately did this morning.
I lay in bed wondering do birds speak to each other ,and wondering what language they speak to each other in?
You can see where I am coming from as they travel thousands upon thousands of miles in a year and probably meet birds from many other countries,"yes" I am having one of those deep and mindful mornings.............
Hope you have have managed to get a little crafting in,I know many people have struggled to do this .The reason being the children are still off school as part of the Easter Holidays in the UK ,some children had two weeks off, and others just the one week off depending where you live in the country.
I have been doing a little crafting ,and have been enjoying using my new crafty STAMPIN UP STASH that was delivered to me last week.I have a had a great time experimenting and trying out new papercafting tecniques.Below are a couple of pictures of the bits I have been working on and do hope you like them.
I love the shabby chic feel and these represent this feel perfectly,so much so that I have 2 similar ones in my bedroom which are lovely as the 3d gives a different look to wall decor.
Here is the one I have just completed.
Just a quick REMINDER out next CRAFTY MEETUP is this Wednesday in Lowton Warrington which is very close to Wigan,St.Helens and is close to the major motorway networks.If you fancy joing us for a morning of craftiness or just to sit and have a coffee and learn new crafting tecqniques ,you would be most welcome to join us.
Our members all love their own style of crafting from paper crafting, crochet,quilting,knitting,jewellery making and many more.
If you have been thinking of starting a new hobby or need to get out and socialise this may be perfect for you .By coming along you may be able to decide which is going to be the perfect craft for you to have a go at.
CRAFT- A- LONG THIS WEDNESDAY 10TH APRIL
This session we will be looking at making very simple origami boxes which are perfect for all sorts of gifts or even storing small crafty bits and peices.
I have lots of these boxes for gems ,small flowers etc
We will be making origami boxes and if we have enough time going over the spiral flower tecniques ,which can be used to decorate the boxes.
If you would like to join me in making these, here is you craft Ingredient list for this session.
INGREDIENTS:
* Card(or substantial paper) cut into squares,not very thick card as we will be doing a lot of folding .
* Scissors,bone folder or ruler if you do not have one
* A circle template for the spiral roses( I use a plastic cup so anything like this would be fine
* Pencils ,pens to mark the circle
* Wet glue for the roses(i use tacky glue,but whatever wet glue you you like to work with)Pritt sticks are not ideal for this type of work
If you have a craft tool box you will probably have all these in it,so just bring this along with you and please do not forget to label your items as many craft items are the same and we would hate for them to go missing.
I HAD BEEN making a number of boxes and baskets for the Easter period, and below are a couple which I thought I would show you.They where decorated with a Spring feel to them and where all stamped with the new STAMPIN UP SECRET GARDEN STAMP SET.
If you like this stamp set I will be bringing it along with me so you will be very welcome to use it as it may be something that you would like to add to your crafty stash.
