New Kitchen…. well not quiet

January 29, 2009 at 4:14 pm (Nothing to do with "craft")

Well maybe not quiet a new Kitchen…. But we have been here for nearly 3 year in July and all I’ve had to face everyday in there is plaster walls, but now its got paper on it all ready to paint “Spring” once the paste drys out! Which will be in the next couple of days! But I’ve been putting the finishing touches to the tiles by putting some trasfer tiles on, which look quiet good, if I have to say so myself! Well I was sick of seeing white tiles and fancied a changed and saw these’s tile trasfers, plus they easy to put on, as I have them in my bathroom with Dolphines on!

I have added a picture of the tiles while they were boring white and added a picture of them once they have the trasfer tiles…..

Truely sorry….

January 23, 2009 at 10:02 am (Announcements)

I am truely sorry that I have not done any craft work for a week or 2. We have been up to the eye balls in decorating our Kitchen. And it is taking longer then we thought it would. Things are not working out right, but just hoping that all the glossing will be done sometime today, so that I can start papering!! Yay I love papering…. but glossing no way! Even my 4 year old ask if she could do a spot of painting, I was very tempting to let her have a go……. But then that wouldnt be a very good idea! But she could have suprised me and do a fab job, maybe better then myself and my partner! LOL

 

I might have a chilling weekend and try and get some sort of craft work done, but once again that depends on how I get on with the kitchen today. Well that’s it for now……….. back to the grind stone :)

Here is a pair of Beaded Earring’s I made to “Match” the necklace once I get it onto a chain… The photo doesn’t get the Earring’s justice and the colour…. The beads are an Aqua Blue

Part of a…. Beaded Necklace

This photo doesnt give this piece justice’s. It is going to be part of a necklace once I get it done! I am going to have to put abit of weight on the beads so that they are more flat, ready to go onto a necklace.  Once I have got it as a Necklace I will post the finishing picture!

This isn’t the piece, I’ve been working on….. I have had other designs but its not gone to plan! But hopeful it will work out in the end!

Winnie the Pooh & Piglet Statue…..

Well I got bored this afternoon, and my jewellery making wasn’t going to plan. I’ve got idea’s in my head and it’s just not working! So to pass the time away I thought why not “paint” my Winnie the Pooh and Piglet Statue…. That my Little brother got me for my Christmas box.”I know what ya thinking…. why have i got a Winnie the Pooh painting set for Christmas?” Well I’m mad about ”Winnie the Pooh & his Friends.”  I’ve still got my Eeyore Statue to paint yet… but was hoping that it all went to plan…….  And yes it worked out just great in the end. I didn’t realised that I had such steady hands… Now that I have finished him and he is dry, he will be taking “Pride and Joy in my glass unit”

Keep a look out as once I have painted Eeyore he will be on here!

Well I did try to start making Jewellery but my 4 year old daughter decided to get her plastic beads and start making a Dolphin and wanted my help. So I downed my tools and went to help her as there was beads everywhere, I’m so pleased there not the beads I use…..

So this is a piece my little one did with the help of me. Not bad for her first time…  Plus I had to go routing for my iron….

As with Christmas day less the 24 hours away, and I have a young Family to entertain & feed, I will not have time to do any “Craft” work. But will be back “Crafting” in the New Year! “Watch this space”

I would like to Wish Everyone a Very Merry Christmas & A Very Healthy New Year 2009
