My Christmas House!

Having finally got all my craft fairs out the way for the year, I've got round to making some stuff for ME!

This year, I decided I wanted to make a gingerbread house, but the more I thought about it, the more it sounded like hardwork! lol Then on my last trip to Pickleberry Papercrafts I spotted this cute little wooden house and decided that sounded like a far more sensible idea!

A quick coat of paint, some Sassafras Life at the Pole papers, Doodlebug paper frills, buttons and a bit of Tulle and it was finished within half an hour - that's more like it!

And it even has cute little drawers to hide sweeties in (and then find them forgotten about and mouldy next year! lol)

Will have more projects to share soon!

Twisted Sketch #23

So a few months ago I applied for the Twisted sketches DT, but didn't get in (insert sad face) but I did get asked to be a guest designer (insert smiley face!) And the sketch went live today!

It was a fab sketch to work with - I haven't done any scrapping for ages as I've been too busy making stuff for craft fairs, so I was panicking that my mojo was lost for ever! But this layout came together in about 1/2 hour and I love it! The twist was to use a punch, so I dug out my ever faithful threading water punch for the scalloped border.

Minimal supplies used on this one too - just some American Crafts Everyday papers and ribbon and Sassafras Sunshine lollipops alphas and sweet treat stickers.

Misi Makers!

Long time no blog (again!) So what have I been up to?

Well, end of September we went off to Orlando for 2 weeks and had the most amazing holiday! We arrived home on 8th October and I have spent the last month getting ready for my first craft fair of the festive season, the MISI event in Bristol yesterday - and what a wonderful day it was!

We left home at 6.30 and had a great journey down to Bristol arriving just after 9am. Set up the stall and had a wander round looking at all the gorgeous stalls and meeting some fellow Misians!

It was truly the best craft fair I have ever attended, with the added bonus of meeting lots of the lovely people I've spent the last year chatting to on the MISI forum! Shamefully I didn't take many pics, I was too busy selling, buying and chatting! lol

But just to prove what a great day it was here are some before and after pics of my stall:

So, my MISI shop is looking a bit bare (but I'm still taking custom orders if you need anything!) and I have another fair on 22nd November, so doubtful that the blog will updated for a while again!

I seem to have.......

taken the summer off without intending too! lol

I have done very little crafting, apart from custom orders and family birthdays, and have been enjoying the sunshine, and spending lots of time at the riding school playing with the horseys! lol

At least I'll have a nice tan for my holiday - yep, not long now and I'll be in Florida! woohoo!!

So, I've finally got around to adding a couple of new cards to my shop, including this fruity little number! And will be back with some more soon - and I've started making the dreaded Christmas cards too - eek! Far too early, but I have lots of fairs this year, and want to put lots on MISI, so if I don't start now I won't make it!!

Finally, check out the MISI blog for a chance to win a hamper full of gorgeous handmade goodies (including some of mine!)

Hugs
