Guinea Pigs

I've just sent an email out to some of my more forthright friends to ask their opinions on my 'bits for sale'.

If and when (no - it will be when!)) I get any feedback from them, I'm planning to make any necessary changes and then send out a mail shot to all previous recipients of my stuff to try and drum up a bit of interest.

And in the meantime, I still need to make more bits!!!  I've been doing a bit of jewellery the last few days so will upload that soon.  Except for the nasty green one that I made last night!!

And so dear readers, if you have any comments, criticism or advice you would like to share, please feel free to do so.  I doubt I will cry for long...

First ever craft fair

Been a bit quiet of late.  Rest assured I have been making things but I haven't quite got time to upload them yet.

My big news is that I have finally got round to booking a table at a craft fair at the end of March.  It's only a small fair (I hope) in a community hall but it will be my first assault on the public so I'm looking forwards to it and am a teensy bit nervous.  I've been getting a lot of support from my friends on Trimcraft and am now trying to get a good selection of cards together as I've been asked not to take too much jewellery.

I've also enquired about a space at a table top sale in the middle of February so I really do need to pull my finger out!!!

Allow me to explain..

..not quite so tired now but still going to bed early tonight.

Dominic Cooper was trying to kill me.  I kept having nightmares and woke up three or four times throughout the night.

It  was in a park at the top of a hill and there was a bald man with glasses and wearing a raincoat who was stuck in a giant rubbish bin.

If anyone would like to analyse that, feel free.  And it's had a chronic effect on my creative output as I've only made two and a half cards in the last two days.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzz

I am sooooo tired.  I blame that nasty Dominic Cooper.

Friday Night output

Been busy again tonight.  I can't remember the last time I made this many cards in such a short space of time!
(two per night is lot for me!)

Oh look it's my Daisy Sugar Nellie stamp again!

Plain brown card, I think the stripey paper is K&Co and the flowers are from Wild Orchid.

I'm entering this into Friday Sketchers - sketch challenge

My Time To Craft - chocolate

Cute Card Thursday - monochrome

This is just a card wot I made

Daylight Bulb

My daylight bulb arrived this morning (actually it's my second one but the first one got broken in the post).
What a difference it makes.  And as it's a low heat energy bulb, I won't now be scalding my head on the desk lamp every time I create.

Here is one of the cards I made last night.  I was going to enter it into the Polka Doodles challenge but failed to realise that it was already Friday and the challenge had closed!!  Ah well, I'm sure someone will like it and one of these days I really will get the hang of all these deadlines.

Stamp is from Magnolia

Flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts (see sidebar)

So far, I have entered it into 2 Sisters 'Gettin' Girly' challenge.

Chuffed

So here's the new baby card.  I printed off a colouring page from the web and whilst watching the football on the telly on Saturday afternoon, I did my own decoupaging of the image and then coloured it.

I then sat back and waited to see if the baby was a boy or a girl (not due until Saturday).  Lo and behold we have a new girlie in the world as of this morning so I was able to fold some pink cardstock and do a pink label and make this.

It's not the most complicated card I've ever made, but I'm sooooooo pleased with it.

I've entered it into the following blog challenges:
