A couple of swaps !

Over on the Lots To Do forum we do a board book swap. The theme for this one was "blue" - think I got that bit right!!!!!! I hope my recipient likes it. I could have sold it 10 times! In fact I nearly kept it myself and did another one .................... Off to start the next one now!

We are also doing an ATC swap using this technique. It is using PVA glue and alcohol inks. I must admit I did have two goes at it and am still not quite sure but they are done now.

Lets hope my swapees like these too.

Right must go now cos I have been handed the fabric today to make the curtains for Mr Gordon's boat. My sample one was just dandy! Now where did I put my rotary cutter.....

Thanks for stopping by.

Japanese Art......

Just a quickie today. Been crafting lots. Here is a sneak preview of my swap for Lots to Do. The theme is distress. I had made a different one but then we got a list of the years board book swaps and decided to keep the first one for later on as it was more appropriate.
This is the cover :
This is one of the pages - I won't show anymore so as not to spoil it for my swapee!!!

I sat and cut out 69 of those flowers!!!! The book was originally "The Selfish Crocodile". I hope they like it........ I really like doing these.

I will show you tomorrow what I bought at Ardingly Quilt show..................

Thanks for stopping by.

Thursday 7 - still snowed in....

No buses at all coming into Woodingdean. Another day off.......
I decided to make use of my time by doing these "moos". They are for a swap on Lotstodo forum. The theme was "green" so I recycled a piece of card that was backing some attendance notes at work, used the clock images that I stamped out at the PaperArtsy weekend and didn't use, and sprayed with lots of "firework" inks that I bought from a friend. Also I have glued on some clock parts that I bought from paperartsy! Is that recycled enough !!!!!!!!!!!!

I thought I would just show you the view I have from my cabin. It's not the front view it's the side view. The trees are in the gardens of the two houses next door (if that makes sense!) The big fir tree top right is a massive tree that is in the garden behind us. Just hope it never gets blown down cos it will land on me cabin !!!!!

As I was coming indoors I spotted these icicles hanging from the front. There were some at the back which were really long and much better but the photo was a bit blurred. These ones are melting a bit.

I hope the roads get cleared soon 'cos I want to go to the Craft Barn on Saturday to see Kim Piggott who is doing a demo with the Magnolia stamps. She paints them with her distress inks and they are sooooooooo beautiful.

Right best go and get dinner.

Keep save guys.
