Sizzix Pop Up Cake

I couldn’t resist this non-SU project and have been playing with it and came up with this. A calorie free concoction to whet your appetite! Have more concoctions on the back burner until I get time to create. Loads more to share, but unfortunately I can’t just yet until the people for whom I made […]

Break Through! End of Day 5

At last, the wall between the kitchen and dining room is down and in the skip ready for carting away.  These are end of working day pics as the builders normally tidy up before they leave.

Downing tools

Just a quickie as no pictures today as the back orders on the oval scallop punches and Oval All stamp sets arrived mid afternoon today and I just had to nip out to deliver them to anxiously awaiting customers – you know who you are 😉 I thought they’d waited long enough so delivered them […]

Day 2 Progress Report

They’ve finally widened the bit between dining room and living room.  That was a toughie because it had two skins, the outer bit being the original outside wall of house.  More kitchen units have been […]
