Craft news

After all the bad news this week, I just wanted to lighten the blog with some recent crafts. My little ones were on a ballet show a few weeks ago and I made this little mini album for their teacher Mairead, as a momento of their big night...









I've started making jewellery again-it had come to a complete standstill since Christmas - think I made too many and got burnt out LOL! I bought some new findings this week so plan to get cracking on it again. This one was for Annamarie's mam - one of my best customers ;-)


I was delighted to find my layout in Scrapbook Inspirations this week. I always get a kick out of seeing my layouts in print. This was a very simple one - but I liked how it turned out...


Some recent layouts..this was taken last year in Italy on holidays and I am counting the days to go back there as it was the most relaxing time.


I took this series of photos for Cheryl's painting with light course last year which was great fun to do. I loved the change of expression in madam's face and had to do something creative with it...


I've recently started collecting these little people- they appeared in Borders last month so I found myself seduced. Her name is Momijii Giggles and I love the idea of popping a secret message in her for someone to find.


Finally I will leave you with this photo of Lucy's creative style - could be the start of a whole new fashion this year ;-)...


PS Annamarie and I have some major (HUGE!) crafty news to share so check the various sites and blogs this weekend and all will be revealed...Big date for your diaries!

Elaine, I am so sorry to hear about your cousin.

Your album is simple amazing, the photos are exceptional, esp the first one. Did you take it?

I saw the momijis in Borders this week & I was very tempted. I don't know what it means, I thought momiji was some sort of tree in Japanese. We had wooden little dolls and animals like that at home, when I was a child, but we called them "kokeshi".
