WOYWW and Bunting

Happy WOYWW peeps.  This week finds my desk with some Chrimbo items on it as I have properly started making cards (well the fronts, still waiting for the card blanks to be delivered....they really are very few card and art shops in the West).

I am doing some bird cards at the moment. Some of you may know that my darling father (and fellow crafter and painter) died earlier this year so Christmas will not be celebrated quite the same way this year so I am making some non religious (and to be honest not too Jolly Christmassy) cards I can send the immediate family.

Also on my desk is my cuppa (pushed right back so I don't do the inevitable dipping of the dirty paintbrush in it!!) and my night scene stamp (its just sitting there on the right, no idea what to do with it this year....hoping my mojo will surprise me!)

My "Man Bites Dog" cards this week (it could be any variant but I chose)..."Exec Tells On Dead Killer Cop"!!!!!...ooohhhhh.....  

On a lighter note...here is a picture of my bunting from my lounge thrown, without care, onto the chair....why?

 This is why.....LunchLady Jan kindly sent me some of her fabulous bunting...little did she know I have a red and cream/burlap lounge so hers matching marvelously so up it went straight away (I am taking bets on how long it takes the hubby to notice its change!!).

It was a fabulous giveaway on her blog-thanks Jan, its loveerlllyyyy and is in pride of place every time I walk into my dining room from the lounge.

Right, off for a legal snoop around some desks courtesy of the lovely Julia....come and join us...its calorie free!!!

Happy crafting

Bunting with a twist

I have finally given in....its everywhere......bunting is taking over the UK at the moment!  So, in a desperate attempt to use up some of my fabric stash I decided to have  a go at making some.


First I made a card template (digging deep in the recycling bin to find some nice thin card) and then cut up LOTS of fabric.  I sewed them together and added some ribbon to string them all together.  It took about 4 hours to make.....but I admit I am not a quick machinist!

I used red and black skull fabric, 2 tone black and white and cherry fabric.....not your usual type of bunting but it sums me up quite well.  I sprayed it with scotchguard so hopefully that will help it stay a bit clean (though with all this wet weather I must admit that I have brought it back inside for the time being!).  

I had them strung around our veranda (did you spy my mini totem pole?)......now I just need a party to show them off!

I hope you have a wonderful weekend (and not too wet!!) whatever you have planned.
