June Day 30......

Well here we are on day 30 of Karoove's fantastic blog

every day in June challenge......and I made it lol! I'd planned on ending

with the double but my little miss is still feeling poorly & with 7 of 

us in the house when one gets ill the others usually follow.......and 

follow they did!! So sadly no crafting time for me at all this weekend...I've 

been on bucket duty instead!

I'm gonna miss this challenge, it's been lovely sitting down every

evening & blogging, I've "met" some lovely ladies & picked up some

fab hints & tips & seen the most gorgeous creations. 

So what are the very last prompts:

June Day 30: What does crafting mean to you

OR

Craft something that has an age theme

So what does crafting me to me......well for the last few years I've 

spent a lot more time at home.....and crafting has definitely

saved my sanity lol! It's my little escape, I've crafted through some oh, so 

tough times and no doubt I will again. It's something I look forward to

every day....sometimes an hour at night, sometimes very early morning

while everyone else sleeps, sometimes, very rarely, a whole afternoon!

I usually craft to very loud rock music, the 

dog usually curls up at my feet, the cats on my desk(?) and the kids

wander in & out. Although it's my hobby they all play a part &

all of them like to know what I'm up to! It's something I share

with my daughter, Rebecca......after 5 boys along she came and

thankfully she shares my 2 favourite things to do....craft & read!

It's something that's always there, doesn't have to cost a lot - usually

does but I like to re-purpose things too and that can save on the pennies!

But the best part of crafting has got to be the sharing....every

crafter I've ever met, whether IRL or in blogland, have been

so kind, generous & friendly and since I started blogging I've met

people all over the world....one I'm hoping to meet for real this Summer!

 So that's it, day 30, a whole month has passed and so the very last

thing I'd like to say is a big thank you to Kairen for organising this 

challenge and fingers crossed there'll be a next time!!

xx

June Day 29......

Hi guys....hope you're well & having a great weekend!

No crafting for me today....Miss Rebecca woke up this morning

feeling poorly so I've been in charge of the bucket!!!!

So what's the prompts for today?

June Day 29: 

If you could start your crafting life over, what would you do different

OR

Craft something that has a beach theme 

I think if I could start my crafting life over then I'd make sure I finished 

EVERY project I ever started lol. I have far too many unfinished 

things......and not just papercraft either....knitting, cross stitch, sewing....but

 I am trying to catch up......honest!!

 I would definitely think twice about what I bought. I love having a huge 

stash but realistically I'm never gonna use a lot of it. 

Oh, and I definitely would have started blogging earlier....that's

turned into a huge part of my crafting life & I love it!

See you tomorrow :)

xx

June Day 28......

I've been such a busy bee today I don't know where the day's

gone! School run, decorating, trip into town & sorting out a costume

for Miss Rebecca's end of term play.....all done now and time for a 

sit down and a cuppa....and maybe a biscuit or two!

So what are the prompts for today?

June Day 28:  If you had 3 wishes what would they be

OR

Craft something to celebrate a new home

Well the 1st of the 3 wishes is easy......I'd wish my eldest son

fit & well, just as he was before his strokes!

The 2nd would be a part time job for my 3rd son....he's still at college

and works 4 voluntary shifts in a charity shop but is desperate

for a paid job. He's a great son, polite, well mannered, honest,

reliable...everything you could wish for....yet he still

can't find a part time job. His dream is to own a little

book shop.......one day!!

My 3rd wish would be for just a little bit more time although

I am so determined to be more organised....and I'm gonna start 

with the craft room. The thought is if I organise my craft room 

properly them it would be easier to organise my time in the craft

room therefore I'd be much more productive....but as my son

said "You know what thought did......followed a muck cart

cos he thought it was a wedding!"

No time for the double today......see you tomorrow!

I love this digi image, she's from La La Land.....hope I've done it justice....and
I took my inspiration from the colours. I love traditional colours for Christmas
and just that pop of lime green made all the difference! The papers, are from
 my scrapbox, ribbon, pins, snowflakes & gems are from my stash,

June Day 27......

June Day 27: 3 of your best ever projects

OR

Craft something that's all white

That's a tough one cos I think the projects I'd choose as my

best are things I'd made a gifts......so I haven't shown pics of them!

Sooooooo, I've chosen 3 of my fav cards/digi pages:

I made this card using my favourite (at the moment) digi stamp.
Love all D'Arcy'sDiaries images, so gorgeous to colour too!

a digi layout of Miss Rebecca posing for the camera!

This LO was for a DT piece....the theme was buttons & bows..

....any excuse for Bex to pose!

my 4th son, Christian, after his 1st concert. He loved it, he's the one
on the left.....and no,
I didn't let him dye his hair blue.....he was only 13!

I've only ever made one white card, but wasn't sure about it so

ended up colouring it in! Not sure if this counts, but here it is anyway!

See you tomorrow!

xx

June Day 26......

Well, they say time flies when you're having fun and that's so

true.....can't believe we're almost at the end of our

monthly blog-a-thon.............and I'm having great fun!

Todays prompts are:

June Day 26: What do you wish you were good at

OR

Craft something that has a Spring theme

Oh, there's lots I wish I were good at....probably too much

to list lol! Perhaps the main thing is....I'd like to organise my time

better....I can waste a morning pottering about and not actually

get much done but then other days everything is done in

record time, the tea is in the slow cooker and then I can craft.....those

 are by far the better days! Craft-wise, it's the same old thing...

.....stamping & colouring! Some days I'm real happy with my work, other 

days it goes straight in the bin! Rightio, off to hop around some

of your blogs then off to bed. See you tomorrow!

Our new challenge over at Nutcrafters starts today and the theme is:

"Show us some texture" as chosen by our lovely teamie Audrey!

stickles, flitter, anything at all!

We have some good news too....Katie has opened the new

June Day 25......

Hiya, hope you're all well! Been a right busy bee today, didn't

think I was gonna manage to blog today.....but here I am

...just a quick post before bed! So what's the prompts for today?

June Day 25: What advice would you give to a newbie crafter

OR

Craft something that has the colour orange on it

That's easy.....a one word answer....ENJOY!

Well, I mean I know you would enjoy crafting else you wouldn't

have started but I remember when I first started out I

wanted everything to be just right and sometimes spent so

long faffing about it sometimes became a chore. So now it's all

about the fun & if something doesn't turn out just how you 

imagined it really doesn't matter.....you might even prefer it to what

you had in mind....or you could just bin it & start again!

it again! See you tomorrow!

xx

June Day 24......

June Day 24: Your crafting wish list

OR

Craft something that celebrates a birthday

I think, like most crafters, my wish list would be never ending! 

There's so many fab products out there, so many fab digis & stamps.....but if 

I'm honest, right at the top of my wish list would be....a full set of 

Pro/flexmarkers & Spectrum Noirs!

I nearly have them all.......so not too many more needed lol. Oh, and

cardstock in every colour of the rainbow would be lovely but then I do tend 

to use my fav colours over & over so that would maybe

be a waste! And dies.....oh my, but how many dies does a crafter need......maybe

 just a few more?? No really, I'm so lucky, I have a lovely craft room full 

of lovely bits & pieces, my kids spoil me rotten and I'm on some fab DT's.

 Usually, if I see something I might like, I'll think about it for a while first. 

This year, for January, February & March I put myself on a

stash ban....and it was fab! I re-discovered lots of lovely things I'd 

forgotten I had.....and saved myself an absolute fortune!

So now I try & be much more sensible before I buy

anything....although I do quite fancy some of that flitter stuff.....

June Day 23......

Hi guys....hope you're all well & having a lovely weekend!

I'm feeling lots better today, had a real lazy day & even

managed a couple of hours in the craft room so can do the

 double today! So what's the prompt's?

June Day 23: 

Tell us about something you're struggling with

OR

Craft something to give to an Auntie

There's lots I struggle with....craftwise it's probably stamping, getting

that clean, crisp outline then if/when I get that right I sometimes

 struggle getting the perfect blend for skin tones! But I have great fun

practising so all's good in the end! So for the double I made a card,

I don't have an Auntie....but if I did she'd probably love to

craft too so hopefully she'd like this card! Sorry for the dreadful

pics....it's been so dark all day!

here's a closer look

 Oooh, just realised what time it is....off to do a bit of blog

hopping before bed! See you tomorrow!

June Day 22......

Hiya...hope you're all ok & enjoying the weekend!

Thanks so much for all your well wishes, still feeling a bit rough but

definitely improving so fingers crossed maybe some craft time

tomorrow! So what are the prompts for today?

June Day 22: Which crafting season is your favourite and why

OR

Craft something that has silver on it

Oh, that's an easy one for me........Christmas!!

My favourite time of the year.....I love everything about it, even

the cold weather & the dark nights. There's nothing better than being

snugged up in the craft room on a cold Winter's Day! I love to make

crafty gifts, I love the planning.....what to make for who, buying

or recycling all the bits I might need. I usually start planning

for Christmas once the kids have broken up for the Summer

holidays. The 1st thing I do is to make "My little book of Christmas"

that's where all my ideas go, all my to-do things, recipes, gifts ideas,

cards....everything! And this year I've already started...

although it's a cross stitch piece so maybe I should have

started even earlier lol! 

See you tomorrow!

xx

June Day 21......

Hi friends......happy Friday.....hope you're all well!

Here we are, the longest day of the year & the 1st day of Summer

and guess what.....yep, it's raining....and I mean raining....it started yesterday 

afternoon & it's not stopped since! I'm not complaining though, I love
the rain, especially if I don't need to go out! I'm feeling a bit sorry for myself

 today, been up almost all night with a dodgy tummy (IBS) so today I'm 

just lounging on the sofa feeling all weak & wobbly :( so no crafting today! 

Can't believe we're heading towards the end of the month....so what are 

the prompts for today?

June Day 21: Describe your perfect afternoon

OR

Craft something that has an animal theme

My perfect afternoon would be a Winter afternoon, cold &

frosty outside, toasty warm inside. It would be a weekend so all

the kids are home. The boys would be busy doing their own

 thing, usually xbox! Miss Rebecca & me would have

a picnic lunch, some fab crafty time, probably making Christmas

card/gifts then we'd snuggle on the sofa & watch a Christmas film!

Of course, there would be chocolate involved, then for tea it would
be something delicious but not fancy, probably sausage & mash lol!
Oooh, and apple crumble for pudding!
Couldn't manage the double today so here's a pic of a digital
scrapbook layout I blogged last year featuring our little dog
Mad Millie Piddles!

See you tomorrow!
xx

CSAYL # 21....Last Minute Gift!

 Hiya, happy Friday, nearly the weekend! We have a new challenge over at

Christmas Stampin' All Year Long today & this time 

our challenge for you today is to make a gift card holder!

A great thing to have on standby as I think money would fit

in quite nicely too! I made a simple square easel card & took an extra

 piece of red card, scored at each side & folded under

then simply stick to the base of the easel card & decorated in matching

paper....and it serves as a stopper too! And the gift card/money

just slots in!

We're sponsored by the fabby Bugaboo

and the lucky winner will get to choose 7 digis!

You have until next Thursday to play....look forward to

seeing your makes!

xx

June Day 20......

June Day 20: If you had to be a colour what would you be & why

OR

Craft something in monochrome

My colour would have to be either black or purple....

(though maybe blue today cos it's blooming freezing)...it

would be too hard to choose one or the other, they're both colours

that play a big part in my life....does that sound daft??

Black is always my go-to colour when clothes shopping, purple is

my fav bedroom colour, my kitchen is black, my nails are usually

black or purple (sometimes both)....I've even had purple

hair! The music I love favours dark colours.....I guess I'm just

a dark kind of person....and it's rubbed off on Miss Rebecca too,

her bedroom is gorgeous - purple walls, a black bed & black 

furniture.... it's proper goth-looking and she loves it!

So no craft time for me today, too many jobs to be done, a trip to

the supermarket, the school run.....I've clocked up a fair few

weight watchers points lol! Here's a pic of Miss Rebecca's last

birthday card....black & purple!

xx

June Day 19......

June Day 19: A snap shot of your day. Can be words, pics or both

OR

Craft something that has a lacy theme

When I woke this morning it was dull, grey & cold....that cold I even

 had the heating on for half an hour! So I planned that once

all the jobs were done I was gonna hole up in the craft room &

craft away while watching the Christmas crafts on tv!

Managed to get 2 DT cards done......then postie came....bringing

me a cross stitch chart I ordered for a planned Christmas pressie for 

one of my sons. He loves all things Native American and the plan is

to make the 3 panels into a wall hanging, so I spent the best part of

the afternoon sorting out aida & threads & putting my sewing frame

together.......guess what I'm gonna do tonight lol! So that was my

day.....not quite as planned.....but good anyway! Oh, and the sun

came out too, ended up being quite hot & got lots of washing 

dried.....oh, what an exciting life I lead lol!

 xx

Nutcrafters midweek reminder!

Good Morning....hope you're all well & having better weather

than we have.....it's freezing here so I think once the nasty

jobs are done I'm gonna go play in the craft room!

Wednesday is Nutcrafters day and today we have a reminder

for our current challenge of "Food and/or Drink" as chosen

by our lovely teamie Helen. You can check out the

full rules here AND  there's also a freebie page.....so no excuses

lol! Come join us.....we'd love to see you!

Thanks for calling today

Jo xx

June Day 18......

Didn't think I was gonna make it today....It's my eldest son, Richard's

26th birthday and oooh, I'm so full of birthday cake!

June Day 18: Crafting muck ups, tell us how you got round them

OR

Craft something that has dots

So, crafting muck ups I've had a-plenty! Usually smudged ink, spilt

coffee, sometimes even paw prints! The most recent one was

just after I coloured an image......I dropped my marker pen....and it

landed nib first! I didn't really want to waste it as for once I was quite happy

 with my colouring so I simply dotted lots more dots around the whole 

image.....don't think it really counts as the double for today but

here's a pic

See you tomorrow!

xx

June Day 17....

June Day 17: Tell us how to do something, can be a craft technique

that's as old as the hill but your take on it

OR

Craft something that has the colour red in it

The only thing I can think of for this prompt is to share how I age paper.

I usually stamp or print my image first on whatever paper I'm using, then 

dip a tea bag in some very warm water, squeeze gently so's it doesn't drip

 too much then just dab it over my image....the more you dab the darker

 the paper. Then when you've got the colour you want, screw the paper up,

 then open up and let it dry! Here's a card I blogged a few months back,  

using a printed, tea bagged script from Romeo & Juliet!

For the colour red, here's a pic of a cross stitch project I started

last Winter.....I finally finished it last night!

All the little red blobs round the top, in the pudding and the

holly berries are tiny seed beads.....I think I dropped more

than I used! Not sure what to do with this, was thinking

maybe the front of a recipe book but then I'd probably 

drop  Christmas pud mixture all over it! Any suggestions?

Rightio, off for some stew & dumplings.....be round to visit

 you all later!

xx

June Day 16......

June Day 16: When you're not crafting what do you do?

OR

Craft something that celebrates marriage

Well, that's an easy one....when I'm not doing all the "Mum" jobs,
which like most of us Mums, takes up most of my day.I usually get
up about 7ish and potter about all morning, maybe nip to the shops
then have an hour in the craft room after lunch before the kids
come in!

I love to curl up on the sofa (in my craft room) with a good book!

Me at one end, Miss Rebecca at the other, a mug of coffee

and that's us happy! I'm just about to start reading Game of Thrones

as I love the tv series! I like to sew too but I suppose that's crafting

isn't it? Nothing fancy as I'm not that good, just cushions and bunting

and bits & bobs for our house and cross stitch too....I'm just about to

start a cross stitch Christmas present! I've always fancied making a rag

rug too.....can't wait for those long, cold, dark Winter nights...

I seem to get so much more done! 

No double today....been pottering in the garden.....it's ever so warm

yet the sky is so grey it's almost black!

See you tomorrow

xx

June Day 15......

Well. here we are, halfway through our month long craft blog

challenge......and I'm loving it! Kairen has given us some fantastic

prompts, there's some fabby ladies taking part.....and I've 

managed every day.......so far! So what do we have today?

June Day 15:  A day in your crafting life, can be words, pics or both

OR

Craft something that celebrates love

I've had a lovely, lazy day full of cats, coffee & crafting.......but oh my, look 

at that mess.......can't even blame it on Miss Rebecca

And the double...yep, another wall hanging for Miss Rebecca, poor

girl, her bedroom is full of my bits & pieces, hope she likes this!

At bedtime she always says to me

 "love you right round the world & back again"

so I was so chuffed when I came across this digi....it's perfect!

So that's it for today....wonder what tomorrow will bring!

Steampunk or Vintage with Sparkles!

Good morning......and what a dull, grey morning it is! And now

it's raining.... I think today is gonna be a craft day!

So first, to start the weekend, we have a new challenge over

at Sparkles and the theme is Steampunk or Vintage!

A new one for me as I've never made anything Steampunk

but it is a challenge so here goes......

I used the Papermania Chronology disc and simply printed

out a couple of sheets, inked the edges, matted them onto black

card, added some die cut cogs and that's it!

We have the fabulous Crafty Ribbons sponsoring us 

and here's the fantastic prize they're offering:

As usual, you have a month to play and you can make any craft

project you like.......just so long as it fits the theme! Full rules

and the gorgeous DT makes are all over on the main blog!

Thanks for calling today....hope you have a lovely weekend!

Jo x

June Day 14......

June Day 14: Name your fav smell, taste, view, sound & texture

OR

Craft something that has a music theme.

No double for me today and I couldn't answer the 5 favourites with

just one thing so here goes...... 

Smell:  At the moment it's a Vanilla Frosting Yankee Candle! Or Miss 

Rebecca's hair when it's just been washed, or nice, clean line-dried

washing or even the smell of my youngest boy fresh from the

rugby pitch!!!

Taste:  Mmmmm, got to be stew & dumplings! Or maybe roast beef

& yorkshire puds......a cool bottle of Newcastle Brown or a little drop 

of jagermeister! A nice cup of Yorkshire tea!

View: Sitting in the patio doorway looking into the back garden. I sit there

early in the morning, listening to the birds, watching our rabbits

hopping around & it's so still, peaceful & quiet I feel like I'm in the middle

 of nowhere.....heaven!And, of course, the lovely faces of my lot!

Sound:  Loud rock music & my kids laughing around the dinner table, they all 

sound so very different & it makes me laugh just listening to them but 

Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters) & M Shadows (Avenged Sevenfold) are both

a real close 2nd....they're usually who I listen to while I craft...

actually they could both be my fav view too lol!

Texture: A real tough one....was gonna say the underneath of my

youngest Sons toes......but that's gross lol so how about the fur of

our kitty cats....2 are smooth & short haired, the other is long

haired.....and usually brings in half the garden in his fur!

See you tomorrow when we'll be at the halfway mark!

Jo x

June Day 13......

Day 13: What do you want to learn to do? Can be crafty or non-crafty

OR

Craft something that has stripes

Oooh, that's easy......1st, I'd love to be able to stamp perfectly, 2nd, I'd 

love to be able to colour in that perfectly stamped image.....perfectly!

3rd......I'd love to learn to drive.....I did go as far as getting my

provisional driving license a few years ago, as for actually

learning....I just daren't and now I think I'm too old lol!

It's been a busy day today....got some good news for a change and I 

managed an hour in the craft room so I got to do the double!

The stamp I used, along with the paper, was a freebie with a mag I

bought other day....

What would you like to learn to do?

See you tomorrow

xx

June Day 12......

June Day 12: What's your favourite medium to work with

OR

Craft something with a sporty theme.

This is definitely the toughest prompt so far......because I don't really

have a for sure, go to,  favourite. Some days it would be 

colouring....Spectrum Noirs are my fav markers at the moment. Other

days it's digis....I love the convenience if them.....and they print

perfectly every time! Some  days, if I'm in the right frame of

mind, I'll sit & stamp lots. Stamping is definitely NOT my favourite..

.....I really struggle with it, but I love all the gorgeous stamps out

there so I have to keep trying lol! Dies, oh my, aren't they fab??

I do envy those clever crafters that make the most gorgeous cards

using only dies. So no double today but going with the

sporting theme, here's a pic of my rugby league mad son, Nic!

See you tomorrow!
xx
