In the Blink of an eye.....

Well is that it? summer is nearly over and it all happened in the blink of an eye! One son fully Graduated and reinstalled back home... One very, very sick Alfie dog nursed back to health... Wedding preparations in full swing and only 12 months to the big day...and a big new venture about to start for me... the T.V!

Thursday 4th September at 12 noon & 3.00pm Create & Craft for The Hobby House. I am launching some of the new goodies I have designed for them especially under the name Daisy Mae Draws.... Hope you can be there.

Going to leave you with a couple of pictures, have a lovely weekend I am off to Grosvenor House papers in Kendal to demonstrate at there big annual event.

Thanks for popping by today,

A Very proud Big Sister!

 

It's Wednesday Already..!

Good evening all!

Where is this week going?!?!

Hope you are all well! I just thought I would pop by and see what was happening in the crafting world this evening and I must say it all seems little quiet. You may notice that I am having a little change up on my blog with the layout etc so just bare with me....just hoping to freshen it up for the coming Summer months which will hopefully be filled with lovely warm sunshine! :)

No sample to post tonight...but just to assure you I have been super busy, so just watch this space :)

Anywho, I must get back to master chef now and see what's cooking!

Hugs, Clare xoxo

Sunny Wednesday...

Morning to you all, hope your day is as lovely and sunny as ours...it sure makes you feel so much better!

Had a lovely class over at BarjanB on Saturday and it was a lovely group of ladies who came along, so thought I would share the weekends make with you. We made this box/frame wall hanger in these really lovely papers that I have only just discovered "Maja Design" Coffee in the Arbour they just soooooooooooooooooooo lovely.

 

George has finally finished University for good and graduates in July... just can't understand where those 3 years went. All his belongings are slowly but surely arriving back home as he moves back, so I guess that's it to my tidy organised house and car!!! :0)

 

Well that's all, off to sort out all his washing... don't really know which is dirty and which is clean as its all mixed together...so its all getting washed!

 

Thanks for popping by,

Life is so much better at the beach! ...

Hi there! Sorry I haven't been around of late but you know how it is....

Spent a lovely day over at Stamp Magic in Doncaster on Sunday demoing for Which Craft. Paula & Gary really do put on a great show and on Sunday it was the 10th Anniversary. It was so nice to see a lot of familiar faces.

 

Today I want to share my Beach Hut make with you.... the weather is rather nice here today!

I have used a real mix of medium to make this project but it was such fun to make and I just wanted to keep adding

this and that. Well that's all for now thanks for stopping by.

Sew Long..................................

Well, what am I like... only the second post of the year! and its April the 1st, must have a word with myself for not being very consistent. I guess that's me at the moment just feeling a little low.

 

Today I want to introduce Spring Time Molly - it seems the right time with all this lovely Spring weather! though I have woke up to rain, but it is only early. Molly is not a stamp but a sewing kit, which comes with everything included apart from your stuffing. I thought a little change would be good, the instructions I have compiled are easy to follow step by step so if you have never sewn and fancy a go you to could create a Molly too. She wears a pretty wool/felt appliqued  jacket over her dress and of course she wear bloomers... with winter having passed she carries her hat in her hand. All fabrics, embellishments are as I have used and of the highest quality.

 

If anyone is interested for more details and cost, if anybody is still out there after all this time please contact me  at  clarerowlands65@hotmail.co.uk

 

Well better run, and start the day properly with a nice cup of tea and another look out of the window.

Thank you for popping by today, Have a good day whatever you have planned

Clare xXx


 

 

  Spring Time Molly

Whoops it's been a while...

Well it has been a while... but better late than never. I have been busy designing this and that, new stamp designs and few other little bits along the way! So at last today I have finally got around to writing a new post for my blog and the first for 2014!

Workshops are just beginning to pick up speed again, although I have had a few already to gently ease me back into the swing of things. Yesterday I was over in Kendal teaching a great bunch of ladies... creating a little something that they could all use if they wished. Even the tea bags that I bought for everyone colour co-ordinated with our make. Pink is not my usual choice of colour but these papers are by my minds eye and ever so pretty and the stamped image is anyone for tea Molly. It's just a shame I still haven't got great photography skills.

Well if you dropped by today... many thanks for not giving up on me.
Keep safe, warm and dry in this horrendous weather
Hugs Clare xXx
