I had a Mermaid on a swing to play with this week from My Heart Pieces - and as the theme is vintage/old - I thought I would break out the Distressing inks and have a bash at that.  I had the most wonderful afternoon - fiddling and tinkering - There are so many layers, you can't see them all in the photo (and it's Ester's favorite colour ;-)  )

NEW RELEASE

 

To celebrate the launge of our new range of knitting and crochets kits - the first 3 people who leave a comment here and send me their address will get one of my new kits FREE (UK only please as I have to pay postage ;-) )

 

The kits have been in the pipe line for a little while now - there is a mitten due soon, and a couple of toys to follow- so watch out for them.

The whole big thing about my kits is that you will get everything you need to make the project - even the needle and thread to sew on the ribbon (toy kits will include the stuffing).  All you will need is a pair of 4mm knitting needles or a 4mm crochet hook - all the kits are designed to be worked on these sizes - so you don't have to have loads of kit hanging about.  Also - I have kept the language very simple and don't use any of the technical jargon or abrevations - so it is as easy as possable for beginners to complete.

If you would like to purchase the kit - KIT HERE

Blog up for grabs

No - not this one ;-)

Do any of you remember 'The UK Art Raffle' blog?  It used to be huge, and then seemed to tail off.  It was a challenge blog where you actually won all the art work that people had made.

I picked up the name ages ago from the person who wanted to hand it over - but to be honest I just don't have the time or networking skills to make a go of it.

Anyone want to take it over?

You can change it to put your own personality on it.

Leave me a message - other wise it will be consigned to the annuls of history (when I work out how to delete a blog!)

New look!!

Christmas is coming - the goose is geting fat - and kitten is just about getting her fluffy little ears round it all.  I have added a new stand just for the next couple of months for all the Christmas stuff.  Loads of you have started on their cards and things - and now you can find it all in one place in the shop

I am starting to plan the personalised cards too.  I have a new design this year - a really cutie fluffy teddy - so that should be available soon as well.

The card of A Puppy's Christmas is proving very popular - it is sold out at the moment - but I will be doing more ready for the weekend - if I get a move on!!!!

shop talk

I have decided that we are going to stock the Jenni Bowlin range from Ranger.  There are ink pads and paint dabbers so far - and because they are made by Ranger you get the same fantastic quality pigment colours as the Tim Holtz range - but they are not as expensive, and they are much brighter, cleaner colours than his range

I am starting with the paint dabbers and have picked up some of the more Christmas colours

JBD28772 Chewing Gum	JBD28802 Cough Syrup	JBD28826 Lemon Drops	JBD28871 Stick Candy	JBD28840 Seed Packet	JBD31932 Speckled Egg NEW!
JBD28864 Spice Tin	JBD31956 Lavender Sachet NEW!	JBD28833 Malted Milk	JBD28765 Brown Sugar	JBD31949 Weather Vane NEW!	JBD28819 Fountain Pen
The ink pads will follow when I have a bit more money to spend ;-)

JBP28536 Chewing Gum	JBP28567 Cough Syrup	JBP28581 Lemon Drops	JBP28635 Stick Candy	JBP28604 Seed Packet	JBP31925 Speckled Egg NEW!
JBP28628 Spice Tin	JBP31918 Lavender Sachet NEW!	JBP28598 Malted Milk	JBP28529 Brown Sugar	JBP31901 Weather Vane NEW!	JBP28574 Fountain Pen

I can of course get the Tim Holtz Distress range (and all his other bits and bobs) to order

And - did you know that the Seasonal Sets are now part of the normal range and from mid October will all be available separately all year round.

All these items will be listed in the shop - crafter's supplies - 'inks, pens and paints' section (and 'stamping' for the pads when they arrive.

Just a bit of fun!!

I have had some wooden Santa - snowman - reindeer faces on sticks for a little while and one got cracked after being packed in the car to a show.  I was just going to reduce it - but I thought - what the heck - why should you lot have all the fun.

So I made Henry his very own 'Santa stop here' sign - and it will be going in the window!

The Stamping Boutique

* Winner's Choice of 3 Digis

Melonheadz Illustrating

*$15 Gift Certificate

Bugaboo Digi Stamps

* Winner's Choice of 7 Images

I used the super cool image Jack and Diane from Bugaboo - you all know how much I love Bugaboo images - did you know that they have a freebie every Friday too? - Gives you a great change to try out their images.

They have done it again with this super cool image for younger couples - I thought this could be a great image for a young couple either wedding- or moving in together - anniversary - just got pregnant.  There are not a lot of image for young couples about that are not over cutsie or soppy

New yummie stuff

I've got HAIRY string

and you don't hear the very often!

The Nutscene twine is in - - and it is really yummie - - brilliant colours - and very hairy.  It is 3 ply - so actually us crafters get 3 times the length from each spool.

I can't believe that it's just 80p per spool - when you think of what the big scrapbook houses charge for fancy twine!

I have 100 spools - the only colours I have not got are black and brown - the pink, lime and marine are just stunning!
