I’m really trying to be positive, but my mojo has taken a real dip today. The central heating system was drained so that they could re-route the pipe work and I’ve got no sink, cooker or washing machine. The ceiling in the lounge was stripped off, and they found a bird’s nest in there […]

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. The first fix electrics are almost done. They’ve been drilling holes in the existing kitchen ceiling to fit […]
School Book Serif, Choo Choo, Crazy for Cupcakes, Circle of Friendship, A bit of Birthday Cheer

Design Dilemma, Petal Pizzazz in a Flower Pot
I’ve taken the opportunity this weekend of the quiet (no builders) to try and devise something for a forthcoming workshop. This one has been relegated to the shelf because there was a lot of cutting out to be done and it was too pretty to discard it without first having made a record of the […]
Day 3 pictures
I thought the kitchen looked quite comical with just the sink, washing machine and cooker left – caught with its pants down! We had a disaster last night, the new kettle we bought for the builders to use sprung a leak and wet all the plans, so I hung it out to dry on […]
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 […]
