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

  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

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.....

The trees are up, the lights are hung and the cards are written. I can't really believe that Christmas is nearly upon us! where has this year gone... its just flown by. Hope your Christmas preparations are going to plan.

Tomorrow is my final workshop of the year... but today I am sharing with you what we made at weekend, a wall hanging pennant. It is a mix of KaiserKraft Pennants, Sizzix Hexagon 3/4" die, Authentique Christmas papers, felt, twine and lots of rusty bits!  and lots of photo's of the finished article...

Thanks for popping by today, hugs Clare xXx

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A Time to Celebrate.......

Hi, I hope you all had a really lovely weekend... I know I did! I  was over at Sirstampalot at weekend teaching, and of course it was mixed with a little retail therapy... it would have been rude not too.All the ladies really loved making the two projects, we used a different stamp for each project Lumber Jack George & Woodland friends and rather an unusual colour combination for the Christmas makes, but I think it works really well... and all were convinced by the end of each class.

During the weekend, I did receive a phone call off my Molly who was so excited... because Luke had just proposed to her and presented her with the most beautiful engagement ring which he had designed himself and had made! David and myself were in on the secret as he had done the proper thing and had visited (all unbeknown to Molly) to ask David's permission... how sweet is that.
Just got to decide now whether I should have a big hat or not !!!

Take a Bun Tin....

Hi everyone, hope you all are having a good week... not sure whether mine is running any more smoothly than last week ... but hey never mind! Looking forward to my workshops over at Sirstampalot in Peterborough this weekend, just got to tie up the lose ends of what we are going to be creating.

Thought I would share yesterdays make over at the Kendal workshop... as seen, as Advent is nearly upon us! I am actually going to put chocolates in this... and not eat them before hand, but I don't know if I am kidding myself. Well thanks for dropping by today.
