Hi again,

Just a quick post to say I’m glad to be back online, the last couples of weeks have been a bit of a nightmare, I have had some issues with the web hosting I was going through and had to move to a new one.

I am looking forward to getting back to posting again and joining in on some challenges again. I hope to be sharing some of what I have created lately in a few days.

I would just like to say a big  “Thank you” to all the lovely people that send such lovely emails and leave comments and regularly view my blog. I do really appreciate it and feel very encouraged.

Thanks for looking!!!

Hi Again,

Well it feels like forever ago since I last posted, well I suppose it has. But I finally can say now my studio is finished and now I am able to start creating and having fun again.

Here are some photo’s of my new studio

I have gone with a pink and white theme and I have purchased all my furniture from  my favourite store Ikea.

This is my work table where I do all my scrapbooking and stamping:

This is my computer desk:

This next photo is of the Expedit, I have organised all my paper/Cardstock into the Cropper Hopper Paper Storage, The draws I have filled with a some clear/rubber stamps and the insert storage cubes I have filled with loads of stuff:

Here are all my punches:

This next photo is of this great unit which has 12 draws, I have placed all my die machine on the top and I have filled the draws with cricut cartridges, cuttlebug and bigshot dies, punches, paints, rubons, stamp pads etc……

Here is the draw open filled with punches:

Above this unit I have a shelf which I have filled with baskets and glass Jars filled with ribbon and flowers:

In this photo on the wall is the Making Memories embelishment centre which I love! makes the room look so colourful filled with all the embelishments. Underneath, I have these draws that are filled with of all my Stampin’ Up! stamps.

Last of all against the wall near my comptuter desk I have this shelf which of course is housing more baskets of stuff as well as my sewing machine.

Well there it is! I still have some finishing touches to do like hang some of my artwork on the walls and tidy and sort out the cables around my computer desk. I also have to wait for an electrician to install a new power point under my desk. I’m just glad to be able to get back to doing some stamping and enjoying my hobbie.

Thanks for looking!!!

Hi again,

Well it’s been a while I can’t even tell you were the last 2 months went since I last blogged and it’s even hard to believe that we are now in February. Hoping now the kids a back at school life can resume to normal again, but maybe not in my case.

Over the last few months my husband and I have been doing some alterations to our house which has been quite a challenge. My craft studio is part of the renovation, (which is very exciting for me) but patience is the key word as all my stuff is packed away and not accessably at the moment so I am itching to get back into some stamping agian soon.

In the mean time I would like to show some photo’s of where I started with my Craft space to studio and then soon some pic’s of my nearly new studio.

This first photo goes back about 7 years where all I had was a desk in the corner of our lounge room and a cupboard that my husband built for me.

When I look at this photo I can’t believe how much stuff I have accumualted in 7 years, and here I was only just starting out.

This second photo is of my studio I have now and the one that is being renovated, but this photo was taken about 2 years ago. The view of this room is only half but you can see what I mean when I say I have accumulated alot of stuff.

This room was classed as the formal lounge when our home was built, but when my husband started working from home it became his office until he converted our car port into an office, which then I claimed the room as my studio. Once the renovation is finished this room will join with the office as currently the office is situated outside of our home with no access into the house.

I’m looking forward to posting some photo’s soon of the new room, but it will be a few more weeks yet before it will be finished.

Until next time

Thanks for looking!!!

Hi there,

I was asked by my sons school teacher to help the kids make a Mothers Day gift. She had already bought some cream material roses and asked if I could come up with something using them. 

Here is what I came up with:

I got these cute vases from Ikea and tied some Blue Ribbon around them, which the roses sat nicely in. Then I just got the kids to make a simply little card to go with it. I think the kids really enjoyed making them and some of them amazed me with their talent.

Here’s a closer view of the card:

It was a real enjoyable day with the kids, the only thing is that I knew what I was getting for Mothers Day, Oh well!

To all the Mum’s Happy Mothers Day!

Till next time

Hi Again,

Sorry it’s been a few weeks, but my lack of time recently has left my creativity at a stand still. But today I would like to show you this lovely hen that my Mum made me. My Mum is amazing, we saw these similar hens in a gift shop one day when we were shopping which I took a photo of with my phone and from the photo Mum made this gorgeous hen for me.

Here is the side angle:

and a close up of the hens face:

I think she so gorgeous and very sweet of my Mum to make her for me. Hope you like her to.

Hope to be back soon with some of my own creativity soon.

Till next time
