I did it, I got back to crochet after an absence of 16 plus years! I used to crochet all the time, I made clothes, novelty and decorative items, but when I started working full time it took so long to finish anything that I gave up. Now look what I did yesterday: I am pleased that I can still do it, and though my hands ached it was remarkably calming and relaxing.

This is the second week that actually feels like I have REALLY left my job, I left just before Christmas (on early release) and the holidays just felt like normal holidays, then just as I was trying to get used to the idea I got the flu, and was in bed for a most of a week and a half. There are benefits, I have more time to craft, so where is it then? Not finished a lot yet but my craft room is

Yes it is challenge time again at Quirky Crafts Challenge Blog. I had hoped to post before this, but I have been ill all week with flu so have been in bed a lot of the time. The Nurse Practitioner told me that I will start to experience coughing all night for a couple of weeks, so far this hasn't happened and I hope it doesn't! Here is my card. The sponsor is Stitchy Bear and I used Sewing

Happy New Year to everyone, I hope you have less troubles and more joys this year. The first challenge of the New Year is here over at Quirky Crafts, and was set by Diane, it is Food Glorious Food! We have two sponsors so two chances to win a prize, and the image is by our exciting new sponsor Bugaboo, the other sponsor being our favourite ribbon sponsor Crafty Ribbons. I used Bugaboo

It is my son's birthday today, and he really wanted a particular kettle so I thought this card would be good with the teapot! This is a very sweet House Mouse stamp, used for the first time and easy to colour. I coloured the image with Promarkers, cut out with a Nestabilities large labels die, cut a panel with the same set and embossed it with a Cuttlebug embossing folder. I added a different

This image is called Three Christmas Trees from Stitchy Bear Stamps, and the cog snow has been added by me using Serif to copy the cogs from the Steampunk Corner, I hope they will forgive me! I cut these out with Nestabilities, and coloured them with Promarkers. Sentiments are from a mini Hero Arts set.  I don't know why I cannot take a straight looking photo, I have the card standing in a

Yep, it is challenge time again over at Quirky Crafts Challenge blog, our sponsor is Stitchy Bear Stamps and the challenge is Steampunk Christmas or New Year. I used Big Ben silhouette with Steampunk Corner printed on acetate fixed to a panel of card embossed with a Tim Holtz Sizzix embossing folder, and dabbed with Distress Ink, and I die cut Distressed Clock by Tim Holtz which is a Sizzix

Well it is according to Lyn who set the challenge! My first card is made with a Limited Runs digi called Snowman on the Cupcake, I love it.  Coloured with Promarkers and Trias and a little glitter glue to finish. Die cut with Nestabilities and the sentiment comes singly and in sheets ready sized to cut out with Nestabilities circle dies, how cool is that! The ribbon is by Crafty Ribbons and

I made a couple of baby boy cards last night, don't faint! I should be making Christmas cards really!  I found this paper in a DCWV stack, and used Spellbinders dies to cut and emboss the shapes, mounting them on Nestabilities squares and rectangles and finally added some buttons. Simples!

Yes it is time for another Quirky Challenge, and Caro chose Clean and Simple. This is my example using Claudia the Cow from our Sponsor Digital Delights by Louby Loo, and the sentiment was also from them and goes perfectly with the image. I coloured the image and sentiment with Promarkers and Trias and cut the image out with Spellbinders Nestabilities rectangles with a blue scalloped mat, and

This is to say Happy Birthday to Charlotte. I used Emo Alice who I though should have pink hair. Coloured with Promarkers, gems added for skull eyes. Die cuts with Nestabilties, and numbers with Sizzlets Bounce. It's a Girl thing is a Penny Black stamp.

I set the Quirky challenge today and I want to see as much attitude as possible! We have two sponsors, Crafty Ribbons and The Stamping Boutique who provided some great images to the team to use. I decided to use Cleopatra on a box, she will make a great present when I decide what goes in the box!  I painted the box with copper acrylic paint, and the image with Promarkers, Trias and a

Another challenge over at Quirky Crafts, and I was late with my DT project again.The challenge set by Diane is  Autumn/Fall leaves and colour and our sponsor this time is the wonderful Stitchy Bear Stamps. I used Woodland, Park Bench and Brrr Lady on my card minus the snow! I coloured the images with Promarkers and Trias and I added some of my favourite polka dot sheer ribbon from Crafty

It is Lyn's challenge over at Quirky Crafts challenge blog and she set Something Spooky with an alternative recipe for those who don't do Halloween. I used the sponsor's (Limited Runs) images and I just love the cup cake images, was tempted to have the eyeballs cupcake but decided on Witch Splat at the last minute. The sentiments are free from Limited Runs, I used Hanging Pumpkin and

 The challenge as set by Caro is ABC, or anything but a card! So time to make those quirky items like ATCs, altered items, boxes, bookmarks, and I, like a few of the DT, went for bookmarks but the bookmarks are all different! Our sponsor this time is Robyn's Fetish and we used lots of images from the NEW Back to School range, I used Bookworm and the ruler from the accessories pack to make my

The stamp was one I found for sale on Crafters Bring and Buy on Facebook, but is available from Joanna Sheen. I had to have it, my SIL has the same dog and a little cat so it was perfect. I was a little disappointed that there was more fine detail on the picture with the stamp than the actual stamp. I coloured the image with Promarkers and Trias. I used some Kate Knight papers that were free

This is another image from Stitchy Bear Stamps, which I added late to the Flourishes and Embossing challenge. I love parrots, I used to want to own one and I had parrot earrings and knitted a parrot cardigan on the knitting machine, the cardigan is still around though I don't wear it now and it probably is too small now! The image was coloured with Trias and my printer decided to print on my

The challenge set by Diane is Flourishes and Embossing, and our sponsor is Robyn's Fetish. This gorgeous image from our sponsor is called Flights of Fancy, and I printed it on acetate then die cut it and a piece of patterned glitter card and joined the two with star eyelets. I cut a Nesties large label and used a Sizzix embossing folder to emboss the Black Magic Cordinations paper, which I then

I was commissioned to make a personalised engagement card and here it is.  You can't really tell but the gorgeous purple card has an embossed pattern of flowers and leaves all over it. All shapes cut with Spellbinders Nestabilties, and border punched with Martha Stewart deep border punch. Words stamped and heat embossed in silver.

Yes - another Quirky Challenge starts today, and it involves red hats! Our Sponsor is Robyn's Fetish, and this image is called A Hunting We Will Go. I think it is good for a boy's card. I coloured the image with Promarkers, and die cut it and the mats with Nestabilities, added We R Memory Keepers Big Snaps with the Cropadile to the corners of striped green vellum and a greeting by Hero Arts.

O.K. Confession time, I am a messy crafter, or just messy! My once lovely tidy craft room following the purchase of two Ikea bookcase pictured below, has become full of "stuff" again. and I have the opportunity of two free bookcases which are not Ikea so don't quite match either in colour or depth. They are actually deeper. I thought about it and decided that I could try one and see what it looks

A lady at work commissioned me to make a christening card, and here is the result. It took ages to finish as I kept taking bits in to show her and see if she was happy before assembling the finished card. The main stumbling block was getting all the wording in, and I couldn't find a christening stamp in my collection. So I had the idea of putting the words "on your Christening" and the date,

Poor Sooty is not at all well. I thought there was something wrong, though I was the only one who did, he had a problem where he was busting to pee in the middle of the night and again early morning, and a few accidents (we won't talk about the bed incident ). To me he seemed very subdued, laying on the settee after Shaun had gone to work and not dashing back upstairs with Alfie. So I took him to

Yes it is another Quirky Challenge, and you just need to include numbers on your make. I used Chef Luigi and two sentiments from our sponsor this time: Digital Delights by Louby Loo. My numbers and the large sentiment are die cut with Sizzix dies, and I added the numbers to the top of the cake.The other sentiment is cut with Nestabilities circle and scalloped circle dies.

One of my customers asked me for sympathy cards, I don't have a lot of stash for this but I have this very beautiful sentiment stamp. I stamped this in brown Versacolour and heat embossed with clear EP, on blue card. I then cut this out with Nestabilties rectangles, mounted it on a dark brown rectangle and then a scalloped blue one. The card blank is the same brown card. I found some perfect

Challenge 14 over at Quirky Crafts is no patterned paper - make your own background. Our sponsor is Stitchy Bear Digital stamps. The image is from our sponsor and is called Butterfly Love. I coloured her with Promarkers and added glitter glue to her wings. She is perched on a Sizzix die cut flower called fringed bloom which is fastened with a brad. The background is made with Cordinations

It is my dear Daughter in Law's birthday on Monday, I can post this because she got the card today! Vanessa loves cows, so I got my herd of cow stamps out and chose this one. The stamp and greeting stamp are both by Penny Black, image is called Moo Birthday, really great fun I think. I die cut the image and mat with Nestabilties large labels and kept it simple as Vanessa likes it that way. Pink

Its my son's birthday and he loves surfing, so when I saw these Elzybells stamps in the clearance sale I thought of Richard and got them. The boy is a UM rubber stamp, the images inside (below) and the sentiments are from a clear Elzybells set.  Happy Birthday is I think a Hero Arts clear stamp, die cut with Nesties, and letters are Sizzix Lindsay's alphabet? I had some cute flip flops to finish

Challenge 13 over at Quirky Crafts is a recipe grid by Lyn. We are lucky to have two sponsors this time, Crafty Ribbons and Robyn's Fetish and I used an image and papers from Robyn's Fetish with some Crafty Ribbon's ribbon. The image is coloured with promarkers and cut with Nestabilities and I heat embossed a Debbi Moore greeting. I used Stickles on the dragonfly wings, and I added flower brads

I really thought my PC was going to die last week, for months it has been playing up, not booting up and having to be reset 6 times before starting (though some days booting fine, then fine for weeks then not for days or weeks), blue screens of death messages (and this is Windows 7), losing the spare drive, losing sound...... So I bought an external drive, thought would back everything up before

I have made a card using the template from the last challenge, which I have decided I really like.These are so easy to make, and it is a shame we had so few entries. Mum has adopted a Tonkinese cat that needed a new home, and she only went to get the mower serviced! So it seemed to me that this would be a lovely card for her. I had some printed cat material I bought at a show, some of it has cat

Diane does like to challenge you, and us on the Design Team, this type of card was definitely a first for at least two of us who were unable to follow the template until one of the team found a YouTube video that made it look oh so easy! So this is my first attempt, and I will be making these again as I do like this sort of card. I used Dino and Just a Note images provided by our sponsor

It is nearly the Royal Wedding day and so it seemed to me a great theme for a challenge. The challenge is to make a project inspired by royalty, and incorporating the colours red, white and blue of course. So lets see those crowns, jewels, ermine, gold, and perhaps a wedding or romance, well the design team at Quirky Crafts Challenge blog have really done well with a great variety on this theme

The image is Pocket Patootie Birds by The Stamping Boutique who are sponsoring us for the current challenge.

Flippin Men card for my brother, not sure what the La Pashe stamp set is called now. It is a bit "cheeky" don't you think! My brother loved it. I coloured the images with Promarkers, die cut an apeture with Nestabilities large labels and the toilet "door". I mounted acetate in the apeture and cut out and fixed the images either side of it. The hinges are die cut with a Quickutz die and fixed with

This challenge was set by Diane, and it is to make a twisted easel card, or a Mother's day gift or both. I found it particularly challenging as I have never made an easel card before, and this is my second attempt. The train is still "wonky" the first was totally wrong and was trashed, this one will have to do! I used a digital stamp called Train Tracks from our lovely sponsor - The Stamping

The latest challenge over at Quirky Crafts is an easy sketch by Lyn. Our sponsor this time is Stitchy Bear Stamps and I used Ole Gray Mare digi image on my card. I love this image, it is so cute. I coloured it with Promarkers, cut it out with Nestabilities large rectangles and matted on a scalloped large rectangle. I used long rectangles to cut the patterned paper and scalloped mat, the

This week I chose Alice in Wonderland for our Quirky Crafts Challenge. We want you to base your craft project on the book Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Caroll, and if you don't know the book or it is an ancient memory as it was for me try putting it in Google, you will find lots of images and the story too, Wikipedia has the best and original info on the characters. Check the Quirky blog for some

Its challenge time again over on Quirky Crafts, I was late as usual with my DT example. The challenge is Recycled Romance, romantic projects with a recycled element that you would normally not use on cards and would throw away, such as kitchen foil, bubble wrap etc. I altered a Green and Black's chocolate box, painted it first with Gesso then white acrylic with a touch of bronze. I then stamped

The challenge is In The Spring Garden, which must feature a stamped or digi image you would associate with the garden and your creation must include the colours pink and green.

The first Quirky Crafts Challenge of 2011 is Something New - New Year, new house, new baby - a celebration of anything new this year.I have taken the plunge and attempted my first ever canvas. I bought the canvas with the small easel because I wanted the easel, now it just may have to stay on display like that! I primed the canvas with white gesso, first time I have used that. Then when it was

I wish all my followers and friends a VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR, and if you have had a bad 2010 I hope that 2011 is better for you and your families. I am still awaiting my curtains, maybe 2011 will bring Citylink and the curtains to me!

Yes, still making those last Christmas cards and this one is specially because my Niece is getting Daisy and Dandelion for her present, on CD and stickers and decoupage sheets. Hope she likes the CD. Daisy, or is it Dandelion, was coloured with promarkers and I decoupaged the hat and paws, I love those paws! Niece is from a clear Papermania set, the stamp and greeting were a magazine freebie.

Nearly the last Christmas card, and a birthday card too. The penguin stamp is a Stampavie stamp, coloured with Promarkers and glitter glue and a gem star over the star the penguin is holding. The tulips are Stampendous and I have a spare unused set up for grabs if anyone wants it. This is the second card I have made and a different colour combo this time makes this a very pretty card.I

 Two more cards to share with you. The first is using a Hero Arts clear set which is so cute, my Uncle loves owls so this is for him. I coloured the owls with Promarker die cut the panels with Nestabilties, and the card blank with a Sizzix Bigz XL scalloped card die, the ribbons are from Crafty Ribbons and the bow made using the Mini Bowdabra. I am going to enter it in the I Love Promarkers

These card blanks are from a pack by Dovecraft of 30 shaped cards. I bought them in a sale I think, and found them when trying to make quick panic cards. I feel a bit cheated that one of the shapes is a rectangle (yes I know that is a shape) and the rectangle comes in gold and silver, which means there are less novelty shaped cards. There is one more shape not shown here which is a bauble,

I have been desperately trying to make my Christmas cards this past week, still a long way to go. One evening I sat and coloured these cute puppies I had stamped the night before, and I found some tiny cards and envelopes that fitted perfectly - quick cards I thought but by the end of the evening I only had 6 cards to show for my efforts so I am having to make quicker cards now. The puppy is a

So sorry everyone especially teamies! This has been such a hectic week with so many things I have ended up doing, and I have tried to make a side step card so many times when I had a minute without success. This is because I was following American instructions in inches from the SCS forum (thanks, I will try and find the link and post it later) and 1/8th inches, using a metric ruler that had

Yep, it is my recipe, and the recipe is mainly black and white with one accent colour and LOTS of punching. So get out your punches and go wild. We are still taking names of people interested in joining us on the design team permanently or for a guest spot. Also the winners of the last challenge have been announced over on the Quirky Crafts Challenge blog. We have also introduced an exciting new

My first tent card, this was made for a Paper Craft Planet challenge on the All Things Sugar Nellie group. I used a Diane Duda stamp coloured with Promarkers but I am not happy with my colouring. The image is cut out with Nestabilities ovals (original sketch was a circle but I hope this is allowed), I think the papers are Dove Craft but I am not certain. Glitter glue also used, and a Papermania

I did have a lie in but only until just before 9am. Then I packaged up some more ebay sales ready to post, and the morning seemed to just vanish. I made my lunch, then at about 3pm after I gave up waiting for the last person to pay and forced my way through the school run parents who think my little cul-de-sac is the school car park. Then met three way traffic lights on the way to the only local

I set off for work this morning in the fog and frost and ice, soon I joined the back of a big queue of traffic where there isn't normally one. Sat there and crept forward for 20 minutes before realising it was probably because of a road parallel to the A road I was trying to get to, which I normally take, that was closed for remedial work (having been closed for a week and resurfaced only a month

Here are a couple of Christmas cards I made today. I used the same stamp set I am selling on Ebay right now, they are a duplicate unused set and the auction ends tomorrow. There are also some sets of Cuttlebug dies going at bargain prices. I think you could use these Personal Impressions stamps on their own, or together in any combination. The cards used here are C6 size. I coloured the stamps

Just found this great blog candy over at Cat's Whiskers Jacqui's but it ends today so be quick: Oh dear I am so tired today, was up to midnight putting things on Ebay including more stamps and some unused unopened Cuttlebug dies. Lots more to go I am sure but the free listing ended at midnight so maybe another weekend for the rest. I will try and be ready with photos next time and postage so I

Challenge 38 on Quirky Crafts is a sketch by the lovely Spyder (Lyn). I wanted to use this very cute snow person by Penny Black which is coloured with Promarkers and some glitter glue and Stickles on top. I love his cosy scarf and hat. Here is the sketch: I used some Papermania paper, ran some metallic blue card through the Big Shot with a Crafts Too snowflake embossing folder, added some

Remember I said I bought some bargain Flippin Women and Men stamps? Well here is the Flippin Women bingo stamp set that I used on this Sister in Law card yesterday. I coloured the image with Promarkers, cut out the two images and sandwiched them together with acetate in the window of the card. I cut the window with a Spellbinders Nestabilties large label die. I used the other stamps in the set

The recipe is to use red and gold, must be two different types of gold (say card and ribbon), one stamped image, one length of ribbon and one patterned paper.I cut the card with a Sizzix Bigz XL die, the red frames are a Nellie Snellen die set, the inner scalloped square is flat to the card the outer frame is raised off the card for a 3D effect using silicone glue but hard to see that from the

Say the word SALE, followed by Stamps and I am there!  So recently I have bought the entire set of Flippin Men stamps and some of the Flippin Women - there weren't many women left. These were only £1 each reduced from £9.99 per set so how could I not buy them from Imag-e-nation and I only went there for a free digi download. Then I had an email from Elzybells announcing a 75% off closing down

Challenge 36 started this evening over at Quirky Crafts Challenge blog and  is a sketch by the lovely Caro. As soon as I saw it I thought of my Hero Arts Clings sitting there as yet unused, and thought these would be perfect. The sentiment is a little too large but does it work?  I turned the sketch around as you can see. The snow person is paper pieced and then shaded with Pro-markers. The snow

I recently ordered from Waitrose for the first time. They have only started delivering here since opening a new shop about 10 miles away. I did pop in to check it out when I had to go that way for something else recently. Well there were a few things not available, the delivery man was most apologetic and some substitutes I sent back, and he told me if there was anything else I wasn't happy with

I am late with my Design Team card for Quirky Crafts challenge 35, which is my recipe and had to include stitching (faux or real), Lace, at least two buttons and the colour teal or turquoise. So not good I am late but I did have a lot of family issues going on. You have a week to join in, so hop on over to see what the rest of the DT have done and the lovely entries we have so far and if you win

Summer holidays are over and back to normal at Quirky Crafts challenge blog so lets get crafting! Challenge 34 is a sketch by Deanne, and this is my take on it. Didn't have time to set up the mini studio so hope this is good enough. This retriever puppy stamp has vanished in the mess in here so I will post who makes it later when it turns up! Nothing changes!  Doggy papers by Boxer Scrapbook

This photo doesn't do her justice, I can't get the colour right. She is in fact a gorgeous deep pink, could say fushia pink or hot pink but looks much redder in this photo. I have altered it but still too red. I could put the daylight photo studio lights up and try again but there might be too much glare as she won't fit my mini photo studio.

The recipe for this challenge is use: shrink plastic, ribbon, at least two eyelets and two patterned papers.  I used double sided paper so two designs, and after getting through 3 sheets of shrink plastic finally ended up with a bloom I could use, stamped with a Wordsworth poem also stamped in the background corner, the bloom was inked on the back with Stazon pastel ink, words in Stazon black -

I have decided to sell my Craft Robo which I haven't used for a year. This is the CC200-20. It has a still useable blade, and a couple of sets of new blades, the software (Cutting Master, DXF Art Collection Source DVD and training DVD) that came with it and the additional Design Master software, print outs of instructions and UK Scrapper tutorials for both Cutting Master Robo Master software and

Oh I am a bad blogger, not blogged for ages! Well I did go away to Torquay for a few days, but have been back for a couple of weeks so no excuse really but I am struggling to find my mojo. In Torquay we were on a bus when there was a bang and I watched a large seagull tumbling over and over coming to rest on his back with his feet in the air on the pavement (sidewalk). I assume he was trying to

I have been suffering from serious lack of Mojo lately, couldn't seem to motivate myself to make anything despite having all these pretty ribbons in front of me courtesy of Crafty Ribbons. I really tried, laid out the ribbons on different things but could not seem to get it going, sorry Ali. Then on Friday I started to make this card for Vanessa who's birthday is today (Happy Birthday dear

It is my Son's birthday tomorrow and I made this card using English Paper Company paper, chipboard letters, a free digi download of the beer monster from Pollycraft which I love, so thanks for the great freebie Pollycraft. Monster is coloured with Promarkers, and finally I used a foiled birthday sentiment that I won from a magazine for my card that was featured ages ago and some frog eyelets. I

Sorry I'm a bit late posting this, Quirky Crafts challenge number 30 began last Sunday, and I think it will be another popular one. The last one Girly Girl attracted a huge number of great entries and the winner has now been announced. This card is stamped with a Dolly Mama stamp "Domestically Challenged" and I have to say I found it challenging to colour in with my Promarkers but got there in

This card is made using a Whimsical Ink, Queen Kat Art stamp by Maigan Lyn. Please excuse the cutting out, I decided to cut out the inside of the mermaid's tail after she was sitting firmly on the frame and it looks a bit messy. Frame is Sizzix, background (in frame and behind it using Cordinations Whitewash paper) is Cuttlebug embossing, real shells bought locally, ferns is a Martha Stewart
