<br />
Just thought I would do a quick blog update to tell you about my very slow sewing progress for the challenge!! This picture is an example of that, it may be a small project but it represents something bigger. I have mastered zips!!! woohoo!!! Something I will definitely find useful for the next years challenge!!!<br />
<br />
I went shopping yesterday and was very tempted by the lovely jumpers in the shops at the moment, but I am please to say I stayed strong!! My eBay party dress arrived last week and its a bargain for £2.99!!! Just going to make a new sash for it.<br />
<br />
I have finally decided on my first project too, just off to the shop this afternoon to purchase some bias binding and hook and eyes and all will be revealed next week!!!<br />
<br />
Happy crafting<br />

Hello all, just thought I would update my blog and give a little bit of information about a new challenge I have decided to join!!!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaeybrFJAgl7L2UADUlAAj0ZUrkOBfGF-RGDOCSc_G3fWsToU7DYc2Ks80zvu0tlxhZAohcFY0JjMBZIj-ZwM41NdxsKKy4PGqZcq5sMq7D1gZbVo9IqN0VQUdVCNdl6MI2KbtAHu569c/s1600/love+what+you+wear+project+banner.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="91" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaeybrFJAgl7L2UADUlAAj0ZUrkOBfGF-RGDOCSc_G3fWsToU7DYc2Ks80zvu0tlxhZAohcFY0JjMBZIj-ZwM41NdxsKKy4PGqZcq5sMq7D1gZbVo9IqN0VQUdVCNdl6MI2KbtAHu569c/s320/love+what+you+wear+project+banner.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
The "love what you wear project" is a brilliant challenge by Bristol Designer Morwhenna Woolcock. The aim of the challenge is to abstain from buying new clothes for a year starting from the 1at November. Instead the aim is to recycle/upcycle, buy secondhand or vintage or customise and make your clothes from scratch!!! (with the exception of underwear & shoes).<br />
<br />
I have decided to join this challenge for several reasons:<br />
<br />
* To become more frugal <br />
* To learn to be able to make my own simple garments. My Grandmother was a dressmaker for the Royal court, and I have always wanted to be able to make a dress like she did!! A challenge in itself as I have only been able to sew about a year lol!!<br />
* To increase creativity, I love a good charity shop bargain anyway but I am hoping this challenge will inspire me to alter and adapt my purchases a bit more!!!<br />
<br />
Well that's all for now, I will keep you updated on my progress throughout the challenge. Please check out <a href="http://www.thelovewhatyouwearproject.blogspot.com/">www.thelovewhatyouwearproject.blogspot.com</a> for more information and inspiring ideas!!!<br />
<br />
Happy crafting <br />

Today's post features my Christmas Gift hearts, ideal to pop in those gift vouchers or little treats and to hang from the fireplace or Christmas Tree. I made these using delightful fabric from a fat quarter bundle from <a href="http://www.emmasfabricstudio.co.uk/">Emma's Fabric Studio</a> and they are embellished with felt pockets, ribbons and buttons from <a href="http://www.sewsweet.co.uk/">Sew Sweet</a>, These are two of my favourite on line shops at the moment with a great selection of Christmas themed goodies!!!<br />
<br />
Happy Making<br />

Hello has anyone seen my blog lol??? I thought I would log in and check my dashboard to see what everyone else has been up to then I saw I haven't posted since March!!!! Time really flies these days. I thought I would post and tell you about my crafting activities.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I received a sewing machine for my birthday in March, so since then I have been doing a bit of basic sewing trying to improve. I have made lots of drawstring and tote bags, some pram blankets any my latest project (see pic above) an upcycled skirt for my daughter using an old Tshirt!!! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am really enjoying sewing its very addictive like paper craft. There are also lots of lovely buttons and embellishments to collect and buying fabric is just as addictive as paper lol!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My third crafting hobby is baking!!! I bake every week for the school cake stall and love doing fancy biscuits and cupcakes for the children. I also make cupcake toppers which I personalise for Birthdays etc....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had not made a card for ages but last night I had the urge!!! So I went out to my shed to make a challenge card. I forgot how much I enjoyed it. Although when I look at my cards now I am never happy with the end result. Hopefully this will come when I get back into it???</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hope you are all well and life has been kind, I look forward to catching up with your posts.</div>

Ooh I am excelling myself at blogging this month lol!! Here is a card I made for an Aunty's birthday this week. After buying the new Do crafts magazine I was very inspired by the free gift of this little "Boffle" stamp.<br />
<br />
Punched flowers and stamped buttons along with the polka dots for a funky feel. Greeting is from the "tiny wishes" stampin up set and the word window punch. I am finding that my favourite Stampin up products are definatley the greetings stamps and the punches!!!<br />
<br />
I am also hoping my card qualifies for the fab "<a href="http://sweetsketchwednesday.blogspot.com/">sweet sketch wednesday</a>" challenge blog. Although I have used a circle instead of an oval!!! I am also entering into the "<a href="http://cupcakecraftchallenges.blogspot.com/">cupcakes craft challenge</a>" this week it has a dotty theme!<br />
<br />
<br />
Hope you are all well, I am off for a blog hop!!!<br />

Today's post is one of the cards I have made for Mothering Sunday. I wanted to do a fairy theme this year. I used a fairy square from crafters companion for the main image. The back ground is some hand made paper which I attacked with my glitter spritz for a bit of sparkle!!!<br />
<br />
The most useful "top note" die from Stampin up was used in conjunction with their gorgeous new papers from the salebration catalogue. The card was embellished with swirls,flowers and gems!!!<br />
<br />
Hope you are all well, I am off for a blog hop!!!<br />

Today I thought I would update my blog and do a post, its been ages since my last one!!!! This is a birthday card I have made for my gorgeous little man who will be five next week!!! I can't believe where that time has gone. Zack is very into ships and boats at the moment following a visit to Portsmouth dockyard with the Grandparents over half term. Hence I decided on a boat themed card using my "need for speed" stamp set from Stampin up. <br />
<br />
I have really enjoyed being part of Sarah Jane's stampin 6 club, the only problem is deciding what stamps I need most lol!!!!<br />
<br />
I am off to catch up with your blogs and give my a fresh new look lol!!<br />

Thought I would post some pictures of my favourite new hobby, baking!!!! I love baking at the moment particularly cupcakes and anything I can decorate in a fancy manor lol. So baking is the reason I have not had so much for my card making etc....<br />
<br />
I have a huge stash of cake decorations so its just like crafting,highly addictive. but unfortunately much more fattening lol. <br />
<br />

Just a quick post to welcome my blog into 2012!!! Hope all my fellow bloggers had a great Christmas and New Year!!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have not done much papercrafts of late, my other hobby baking has taken over a bit lately, especially with lots of Christmas gifts to make. However today I had some spare time and enjoyed making this card for a friends birthday which is coming up. I am really loving the stamping up "Button Buddies" set at the moment. You can produce some really nice fun, simple cards with this set, even when time is not on your side!!!!! Looking forward to some blog hopping now ;)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Take care</div>

Todays post is a quick one using one of my new Stampin Up stamp sets. I have used the "Creativley Yours" stamp set to make a set of gift tags,I have included some ribbon & raffia so they can be tied on. I loved this set, thought it would be a perfect way to label all those baked gifts I intend to do for Christmas!!!!!</div>

Hi All,<br />
<br />
Hope you are all well. I thought I had better do a post as its ages since my last one. Today's card is a male birthday card using my new "engraved greetings" stamp set from "Stampin up". I have recently become a big fan of their products, I love the clean & simple styles!!! Hopefully I will get a chance to complete a challenge, don't know where the times goes at the moment!!!!<br />

The first post of September is my entry to the "CAS" challenge which is this fab sketch! I like love the challenges on this site. The cupcake image is from some Dovecrafts scrapbooking paper, and made the card nice and speedy to make! Polka dot ribbon and a stamped greeting to finish.<br />

Just a quick post as I have not updated my blog for ages,been busy with Amber's 1st birthday and returning to work. There never seems enough hours in the day recently. This weekend we payed a visit to the Hobbycraft store over at Woking,it has a huge selection of goodies, although the prices are not very competitive. I fell in love with these Sizzix heart dies and couldn't resist the patterned felt to use with them . I thought I would use them to make Hubby's anniversary card for Friday.</div>

I love the simple but effective sketches and the fact that it <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">doesn't</span> need to take hours to complete a challenge. I used lime green <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">card stock</span> and a funky cupcake stamped image for maximum effect!!!!

<div>I really enjoy there sketches, so as I don't have much crafting time this tends to be the challenge I enter first!</div>
<div></div>
<div>I wanted quite a clean and simple card as its for my Dad's birthday. I thought the natural <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">colours</span> and simple "<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">stampin</span> up" image work well for <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">men's</span> cards.</div>
<div></div>
<div>I hope you are all well and enjoying the sun. My house is all go as usual, we had <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">Amber's</span> Christening last week and thankfully the weather was glorious!! We are looking forward to catching up with friends this weekend.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Hope you all have a good one!</div>

I thought these Kraft card blanks would be perfect for a <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">shabby</span> chic feel. I love them at the moment!!!
This card is for a good friend of mine who is famed for being late, so hopefully it will make her smile. My new <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">Neatnix</span> tool box organiser arrived today. I loaded it up with supplies from the shed and have been crafting in the house for a change. Mum brought it for my Birthday next week and its fab, brown and pink polka dots!!!!
I had better get on, I have Zack's birthday party in the morning so I have a huge pass the parcel to wrap!!!
Hope you all have a great weekend
