Wow how time flies

Wow I've been away for Three Weeks.

I've really lost my creativity and cant believe it has been for that long.

I dont know what is wrong with me but just cant seem to summon up the energy to make anything.

I have a few things to show that I have been working on but really hope my mojo comes back soon.

I think I am getting on a little better have started an adult hat I have had in my to do pile and its looking quite good. Hopefully will get it finished tonight and update tomorrow.

Well before I lost my mojo I was working on Baby hats. I wanted a simple pattern that could be converted to Boy or Girl, This is what I came up with


.

Bookmark corners

Well I've had a few tutorials saved for these lovely bookmarks but never got round to making them and they are so simple.

I came across this tutorial http://chocolateonmycranium.blogspot.com/2010/01/creating-corner-bookmarks.html and had a go today. They really are so easy and fun to make.

I am going to make more for our new reading group that starts next week. I think it will be a nice welcome gift. Thought I would put peoples initials on them once I know who's coming.

Thanks for popping by. xx

Well I have neglected my Blog again and feel so bad. Alot has happened since my last post. I have been busy busy busy catching up on orders so I could go on holiday. I got everything done but was so busy forgot to take pictures of most things. I went away to Spain on 1st July and had a wonderful relaxing time with my Mum. The weather was really really hot but that was a good excuse not to do anything. I got back the following Thursday all energised and raring to go. On Monday I tripped on the stairs and broke my ankle and damaged my ligaments. Oooo nooo disaster. I have been going to work as much as I can but I can truly say it has been very hard. Everything is exhausting and not being able to drive is a pain. I have however had time to update my website a bit and get on with a few things I have been meaning to do.
Here's a few pics that I remembered to take of what I have been up to. Would really love to set a day aside to update my blog each week. So fingers crossed I can find the time.

Nappy Cakes have been popular this fortnight. All Blue, lots

of new Baby Boys been born.

An adorable 1st birthday Boy card And an equally adorable joint Christening Card

I do love making these personalised cards. When they get collected the look of joy on peoples faces is a wonderful sight.

I am loving making these cute flower hair clips, What do you think. Are they sellable?
I have added them to my website http://www.wendyscraftshop.co.uk/
Hope they start to sell.
Thanks to all who read my Blog. I hope to be back soon. xxx

A few Card orders

Hello, Well the weather here is amazing and has been for a few days. It really gives me much more energy. I have been busy arranging things for a table top sale at the Shop. I plan to have the Sale on everyday and am currently planting seeds that will hopefully grow so I can sell them. I am doing a bit of baking for a Cake table and have pulled out all my old books, cd's and dvd's to sell too. My Shop is based upstairs and it is pretty hard getting people up, So thought I needed to do more. So table top sale it is. I envisage having a small market stall up there but my mind does wander. So we'll leave it at a few items for now and see how it grows. Fingers crossed. Will post pics as and when it happens.

Well have had a few orders in for my personalised cards. So here they are;

Haven't done Decoupage for a while. Had a get well card ordered and I always thnk decoupage goes well on these. So here's the one I made.



Had a very specific order here. The person asked for a Landrover, Posh Camera and Posh Watch all on a Red background. Think I stuck to the criteria.

And lastly two simular card but with different themes. They were both to be Pink, Girly and Glitter but one was o have shoes and bags and the other baking theme. For the baking one I used the new stamps in my Shop. You can find them here if you like them.

Wow some cards

Well I have finally had a bit of time to make some cards. Woo hoo
The first one I so wanted to do as Rainmac from MSE has become a DT for Magical Crafts
and I wanted to try and support her in some way as she always leaves lovely comments on my blog. I don't do her work any justice but it's my way of saying thank you. I did my best with what I had lol
The stamp I have had for a while and everything on my card is old stash. I am in a declutter mode so am trying to use up all the old bits and pieces I have to make way for some lovely new things. So I would like to enter my card into challenge no 14 please. I have followed the sketch exactly as it is because I dont really enter challenges I didn't want to mess with anything. You cant see in the pic but there are two gems in the corners as per the design. I need to learn to photograph my cards better.



This card was an order for a "pink glittery 18th card"
I have had the papers saved on my computer for a while. I knew they would come in handy some day!!! You cant really see in the pic but there is alot of glitter on the backing sheet and I cut out two of the butterflys and mounted them in the corners. There is a matching insert inside all glittered as well.


Well lets hope the card bug sticks and I get time to make many more. I really enjoyed my day crafting but realise I dont have many nice papers. So will be on the look out to sort that!!
Thanks for looking
Wendy. x
