It's beginning to look a lot more like christmas now!!!!

These are my contribution for the UKS Christmas Decoration swap being hosted by gemmasteele.

I didn't want to do a tree decoration so went down the home decor line and decided on a Christmas Countdown. Each of my group will be receiving one of these. Don't want to spoil the surprise but I do hope they will be please with them. It was a great way of using up the christmas scraps from Jade's advent calendar and a couple of other collections I had in my stash.

Off to get on the the Santa's Grotto door swap that I'm hosting on UKS now!!!!!!!

It's beginning to look a lot like christmas........

Well I've been mega busy in the craft room and am now covered, along with the dog in glitter!!!!!

I've made a kaisercraft advent calendar for my son's beautiful girlfriend - we're going to fill it full if lovely girlie pamper treats for her :). I have used an oldish kaisercraft paper collection called Silly Season - the colours were just perfect. The second photo shows more detail of the flowers.

Thanks for looking

Spooky door swap

I decided to join a swap after such a long long time away from UKS. It's a spooky door swap for halloween - I made my door added a few bits and pieces and then went a bit crazy!!!!!! I ended up with a spooky halloween house!!! Hope the recipient doesn't find it too creepy!!!!

I'm planning on making a larger version for christmas for myself using some configuration boxes:)

Thanks for looking :)

Hoping the mojo has returned......

Been away from crafting now for soooooooooo long.........I just hope the mojo has returned because I really, really want to get back in the craft room again - dust down all my inks, stamps, gadgets, dies and sewing machine and get crafting. The girls from work gave me a beautiful Cath  Kidston wallet full of bamboo knitting needles to replace the set I lost long ago - I fancy knitting some squares to make throws for the living room - who am I kidding!!!!!!!!! I will probably managed half a throw!!!! But........half a throw would be a start wouldn't it?  :)

I bought a set of Banksy stamps earlier - an artist who will always inspire me so I'm hoping to create a collagey type canvas for my son's room (he's a Bansky fan too) can't wait for them to arrive.

I love mixed media, rubber stamping is my passion along with my die cutting machines but as previously mentioned I knit and also over the past twelve months have got into quilting - another project I'm hoping to complete is wrapped up in the craft room at the moment.


I hope to be sharing some of  my arty farty projects with you - here's one to be getting on with - its a technique I learned from an Andy Skinner online workshop - just love this technique
