leaving things till the last minute….

Hello, tomorrow I am off to Ballylongford for a Christmas fair. I was kindly invited by the lovely Josephine and Laura Denihan, so i’m packing up boxes of “stuff” ready to load the car and head to the wilds of north Kerry in the morning.
So far I have, fabric heart tree decorations, jewellery, scrapbooks and altered notebooks……. I really didn’t leave it till the last minute this time, I actually did loads every weekend but there is still SOOOOOOO much to do!
Of course, I could be bringing it all home again, that means you all know what my christmas gifts are going to be!
No, I haven’t been organised enough to take pictures yet, but tomorrow I will !

I hope you all enjoy your Saturday night (that means watching to X-Factor to just about everyone in Ireland!)
byeeeeee! xx

Sunday sunday!

Okeedokee, I’m up and crafting like a loon!
I have 6 names for the festive swap.. our theme is, …… erm, lets see……..
Twas the night before Christmas!
So, lets make something lovely, maximum of 6″ by 6″ and just for fun put an envelope in somewhere ( Yes, I am in a very random mood today!!!!)
Six pages including front and back covers. Please contact your partner and keep the communication open – and have your mini in the post by the last day of November.
Thanks for playing, and don’t forget to put the badge on your blog!!

who wants to play???

Hello!
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!!!
I’m here making a very tall mad hatters top hat for Zac….. Pictures to follow!
I should be finishing some reports for work, but its Halloween! (nuff said!)
anyhoo, I just thought I’d ask if anyone wants to play “swap the mini” this month?
I was thinking that December will just be sooooo busy for everyone, so why don’t we swap something festive in November and then we can take December off?
Leave me a comment, I’ll gather up the names on Sunday 7th and post the list then.
so, i’d better get back to this hat, apparently teaspoons need to be sewn to his jacket too- at very nearly 14 he can tackle that bit himself!
Actually he could probably make the hat too, but then what fun would that be for me??!

Surely not!!!

Its October, the Halloween decorations aren’t even up yet (they are down from the attic though, so maybe today?) and I find myself making a christmas album!
But I’m making it for a good cause, so its ok.
My junior school friend Heidi, whom I haven’t seen for very close to 30 years (eek!) has a daughter who goes to the same village school that we went to. Through the wonders of Facebook, she has asked past pupils to donate something to the christmas fair raffle….. So thats what i’m doing!
I’m making it fairly simple with lots of photo space using the K&CO Yuletide collection from the Crafty Alley . I swore I wasn’t buying anymore paper….. but you know how these things happen… ( Isn’t that right Ann??!)
When its finished I’ll put up some more photos.
Have a lovely day,

Saturday Stuff.

Hello, I just wanted to show you the beautiful album I got from Christa in this months swap.
There are some really pretty things inside, i’ll show you more of it in a video soon. Thanks Christa, I love it!!

Zac is doing a graffiti art course at the moment and since his room needed decorating anyway, he’s practising his art. Those spikes at the bottom are the crown on the statue of liberty!! I’ll have to make him stop soon, no amount of open windows will get rid of the smell of spray paint!
( he’s wearing a mask for the spraying bit)

If you live anywhere near me and would like a pumpkin for Halloween lanterns then please buy one of Zacs!! He grew these from seed in my Dads greenhouse, planted them out and harvested them – prehaps he’s the next Richard Branson!!
