Time flies !!!!!!!!!

Hello bloggers :) here is some late stuff and current stuff...I have decided to go back to my shabby chic stuff for a while, so lots of ornate patterns, pastels, florals etc etc
Yes I have been missing for a while but this is due partly to the fact that time keeps running away without me or I am blacking out for days at a time and am not aware of it !!! seriously it should still be july by my reckoning but it's already almost christmas ! what the bloody hell is going on ??? I have just finished some Halloween stuff..no joke....and it seems I should already have started christmas cards or something...I will maybe tonight...I must book some more time off work to catch up.

I bought some lovely new stamps and ribbons, flowers and papers recently here is a few on my desk..


And so here is quite a few pics of the shadow boxes that I have been creating along with some shabby chic trinket boxes that will be available on Etsy when I upload them soon, I have also got into making some dolls houses from scratch, lots of scalpel and mount board work !

I also intend on making furniture too for the houses. Each will have different themes and will also been on sale on Etsy.




















I would also like to say how jealous i am of all the fantastic craft events like silver bella etc that you have in the States..we don't have anything that cool here in the UK and no the NEC stitch and craft show etc does not count...I am talking cool stuff...I am going to try and start my own small versions of a craft weekend event type thing here...if you are from the UK please comment or email me if you would be interested in anything like that, be nice to get some feedback :)

Finally, New stock on Etsy !!!!!

Oh my God, it has been a struggle but I have finally put new stock up on Etsy even though my internet connection was playing up and what should have taken 2 hours actually took about 6 hours ! aarrrrggghhh anyway it is up and I am in the process of photographing lots more including my own handmade and designed embellishments and I am going to add some greetings cards which I was into making years ago but gave up a little bit because the time put in was not worth the money I charged, but I have managed this a little better now and maybe they will sell, who knows ? I am also going to add small shadow boxes and pre-made scrapbook pages which just require photographs..... The embellishments I am going to add are in my colourful style but also a lot will be more shabby chic in colour and style too so please go to my site now and keep going back to check for new stock, I will always post when I have added new stock, thanks :)






New embellishments and my range of 'fancy ATC's' and lots of yo-yo's






My other business venture is hopefully going to start in the next couple of weeks and once I have taken pictures and made some plans I will post that here too (oooooh so excited !)

I haven't been to Salsa for ages too, I am missing out and it makes me sad...maybe I should watch Crimewatch to remind me :D I would actually love to go to the rollerdisco again which was 80's heaven !

Sooooo excited...!

Firstly here are some pictures of more things I am working on...I love buttons, especially handmade ones and I am so into making items from fabric and sewing materials at the moment...but that is not the stuff I am excited about and I can't really say much at the moment until we sort a few things out but a work colleague and I are going to start a type of party company together, it isn't what you may think but I don't want to jinx it just yet but I will be starting a blog for it once we are up and organised which will hopefully be in the next few weeks, I am still doing all my own art stuff but this is a little different and very exciting !!! wooo hooo I will post the link when it is done :)
