i have being busy making another recycled decoration for the outside of the house i think following the inspiration from ruth spaak-i bought some small cable ties from ebay and darren got me some washers, so i made a type of bunting. my fingers were sore after it but im really pleased with the result-

i put this project on busymitts and got lots of lovely comments about it.....

we will be re-decorating our dining room asap and it will be 1960s inspired featuring our treasures from ebay and these are the final colour choices-the grey will be the archway but i love the blue and darren loves the green!!! who will win???????????

piccies below of mine and maddies biscuit decorating session:we used nutella spread, marshmallows, raisins and digestive biccies. we put them in the fridge so the spread would go hard and they tasted soooooooooo yummy!!!

here are piccies of 2 of my recent makes-bunting for bettys nursery and maddies glittery display case (an altered thimble house/shadow box) for her mini treasures;

here are piccie of 2 more projects that i have started and 1 is finished-

maddies new display box for her mini figures but it just needs paper and sparkles now and the other is a hanging decoration that i made when attending a course by artist ruth spaak. we used dyed cable ties, glass, beads, rubber washers, metal washers, buttons etc. i have since made 2 others which are hanging outside our front door.

here are some updated photos of the family and our easter goodies....

the bacon sandwich 1 wasnt planned and its make me smile!

hi again, long time now speak or upload. its been a difficult time for me atm as ive just been diagnosed as having ME or CFS and my mom has been battling breast cancer. i have been trying to take my mind off things with crafting but some days i find it really painful to even type let alone scrapbook!!!!

i do however have a few of my projects ready to do a photo dump-they include an altered shadowbox/thimble house, mini scrapbook using paperbags (that we did at our monthly crop with Ellie), and some more sewing......................
