These are just a couple of presents that I made as gifts for Christmas and didn't get round to blogging...
The first is a hand felted frog bag I made for my mum

And these are earrings I created from vintage chandelier drops for my partners sister
{Some of these earrings will be going up in my etsy shop soon}

and placed them into a handmade box

Still Lagging!

Well as you can see i've still not completed day 12 of the Timmy tags YET
So instead I thought I would share a couple of the boxes I made to sell at my recent christmas fair.

 Inkadinkado stamps

And MME papers.
I'm really pleased how they turned out, What do you think?
Right I best get on.. still got cards to write and post!!

And with that in mind here is a little gift box I made to sell @ my upcoming christmas fair in Dec

 I just stained the box and added an alcohol inked metal top with trimmings.

 A short and sweet share today..

Update with a smidge of craft..

Hay Blogland
Just though i'd check in with a little update.
I had my second X-ray and was told that my lung is now fully inflated so thats good news, I'm still in some pain/discomfort with it but i guess it will take time to heal/ get better properly. I have to go for a follow up CT scan next week to see if that can find what might have caused it.
I would like to thank each and every one of you that has sent cards and gifts and well wishes, I really need you all to know it has made a difference to me, I feel i'm not as alone as i feel, if that makes any sense! And i really appreciate you all for that xx
I have re-started my physiotherapy for my knee which i obviously had to stop for a while but am taking it slow, seems if it's not one thing it's another lol..
Anyway... I though i'd share this little gift wallet i made earlier in the year seeing as i'm not crafting at the minute..

My other half brought his dad some old bank notes as a present so i made this wallet to house them.
Just a simple little project but it did the job nicely.
I used a couple of the very cool 'Vintage Aviation' stamps by Sam Poole.

Well thanks for stopping by, hopefully i'll be crafting again soon so there will be more interesting things to see other than my waffle. Take Care x

Anyone for cake!

OK so it's not actual cake, and well its not for everyone.. but the title sounded good {ok its all i could think of} anyways...

I have my best friends wedding fast approaching and decided i wanted to make her a lovely gift box for all the treats, you know old, new,borrowed,blue.. so i decided on a 4 tier wedding cake box... it took me nearly all day to make but i am so happy with the outcome, it was defiantly worth all the hard work..

The photo's really don't do it justice

{i must try and get some better ones before i give it too her!}

I made 3 mini pizza boxes for the top 3 tiers and the bottom is a lidded box.

I used a selection of my MS punches to decorate the "cake" and some gold peel-offs.. {aarrhh i know.. peel-offs but it had to be done lol} and embellished with some red prima flowers & paper roses and leaves, oh and some sheer gold ribbon.

I'll not be crafting much now till after the wedding

but normal service should return early to mid sept, thanks for visiting x
