New Craft Room Pics and Tour


Hello there and good morning to you!! We have done 6 sleeps in our new home and I have to say I am loving it! Thank you to those who have sent me a card and a gift, and to the lovely peeps who have helped me out! My dear friend Jane helped me start to sort the craft room out on Tuesday night which was a HUGE help to me - thanks Jane!

So I am here with a few photos of my craft room and a little video too!

Here is my new blind that was only put up yesterday. We have had blinds put up throughout the house with the exception of Ross's room (he wanted to bring the same curtains from the old house!)


Now to my regular ladies please do not faint but I actually baked buns on Friday for the little class I held on Saturday. My new resolution now we are in the new house, with a bigger kitchen, is to bake for all of my classes rather than nipping to Sainsburys all the time!


A few pics of my craft room


This is the area for tea and coffee and when I not running a class I do my cutting here but for a class I get out some samples.


I had 4 lovely ladies for a class yesterday. When we are not using the extra table I will just push it up to the wall to have more room!


And here is a little video, sorry it goes on its side sometimes and there are a couple of sound issues but I am sure you will get the gist!




I have some spaces left for my Stamp a Stack on Friday evening - please book with me by Tuesday 21st May. £15 to make 12 cards OR take your cards home FREE with an order of £45 on the night!


I also have 2 places left for my Technique Club, details below!

Workshop makes

Hi there! It's our first weekend in our new home and the cricket is cancelled!!! Will be putting the hubby to good use today sorting things out and doing jobs! First up for me is finishing sorting my craft room!

I demoed at a lovely Stampin Up party on Thursday evening at June's house with 6 lovely ladies. People often worry that they might not have enough people at their workshops but I was able to spend lots of time with the 6 ladies and June got a tonne of freebies. Thank you to all the ladies and in particular to lovely June.

Here are the projects I demonstrated. The ladies made the card on the left and then I shared the "spruced up" version on the right with a few added extras!



Have to say that the Butterfly punches were a huge hit on the night!


I gave June this little gift for hosting the party which contained a Dazzling Details. 


Right thats me off! I have to supervise the blind fitters who are here today! Finally I can take down the flattened Stampin Up boxes down from our windows!

MICA (Missing In Crafty Action!)



Hey there!! 

No doubt you have realised but I have been MICA (Missing In Crafty Action) and good reason I have for it too as we moved house on Monday!!! Really enjoying living in this gorgeous brand new home although I still feel like we are on holiday at the moment!

The move went fairly smoothly, even the huge corner sofa came into bits and the removal men managed to get it up the stairs fine!! The smaller sofa for our family room was a different story and it was touch and go for a while!

I have had loads of help from lovely friends and my Mum and Dad have been amazing, Mum has done my ironing this week and helped me unpack loads of kitchen stuff and my Dad has done loads of jobs and mowed the lawns and been a superstar. We wouldn't have this house if it weren't for them!

I haven't got many photos for you at the moment as I am still drowning under a sea of boxes but here are a few to share with you.

So here is a photo I took last year (yes its been going on that long!!!) This was before the house was fully finished (we don't have the blue barrel there anymore!). The bit to the left over the driveway is ours as well! It like a tardis! Looks small from the front but with the 3 floors we feel we have loads of room!

This is the lovely view from our family room and its the cricket ground where my son and hubby both play!


I can sit and have a cuppa and watch Ross playing in the practise nets (yes thats him in the distance practising his bowling!)


This was my craft room on the day we moved in!


And here is one of my favourite rooms, my lovely new kitchen!! Note the Pool Party walls and accessories!! Love it!

I'll be back tomorrow with some crafty chat and makes for you!
