new product blog hop

Hi, if your taking part in the blog hop you should have come from Valery here http://stampingwithval.wordpress.com/
if your just visiting me then please join in the hop by following the circle of SU demos all showcasing the newest products

I was honored to be asked to show the new fabric at Regional training in Edinburgh a few weeks ago (and sworn to secrecy so i wouldn't spoil the surprise for everyone) i was given Candy Cane Christmas fabric to create projects with

i made lots of things with just 1 pack of the fabric

 this is a small quilted gift bag- it is very cute- and i have to say i love it-its not being given away

 bunting- now adorning my kitchen shelf (this fabric is not overly christmassy

a simpler bag (without quilting) these can be made in 10-15 minutes if you have a sewing machine)

 twisted fabric flowers-no sewing involved!!

 gathered flowers with a seam binding centre

 i will add details of how to make the bags later in the week


now please hop over to Sarah at http://www.stampinsarahiow.blogspot.com

vintage cards

i had a little play last night, i like both these versions but i think i like the green butterfly better than the 3 wee ones - but i love the stamped swirl in the bottom card so i'll have to add that as this card will be part of class i'm teaching - i'm sure it will be tweeked again before i'm happy with it!!

Wednesday again

kids are back to school so normality will shortly follow. i've been to Simply Creates back to school sale twice this week so far, i bought some paper, lots of wooden frames to jazz up and fabric

 i think this first batch of fabric will be bags and part of a quilt

but this is todays project (as soon as i do some dreaded housework!!) this is a cheap fleese blanket from ikea for cushion covers and the fabric was from the sale today- so i'm going to make a start on these later- but i'm making myself do the ironing and wash/hoover my floors before i get to play

whats on your workdesk - wednesday 10th

http://stamping-ground.blogspot.com/
its work desk wednesday again!!

i've got quite a few scrapbooking projects on the go- i take them out, do a bit then they get put away again- so i'm trying to finish them off today, i have a mini-book and a couple of lay-outs to do. i also have a canvas that needs a topcoat of pva, i'm thinking about adding a few beads to it aswell but i'm not sure - here it is

what do you think? i love it so far but i'm worried i'll spoil it if i start adding more to it, ideas welcome!!

Fancy Wool

i went to the wool stall at Keith Show as i wanted can can wool for making cosy cushion covers (i knitted scarves last Christmas with it and it was so soft the kids loved it but its too girly looking for them to wear- so i figured cushion covers would do) but i came home with this instead - so I've started another scarf

I've a pile of projects to try and finish over the summer- and i really must make a start!!! its almost gone (and yes its debatable whether it ever started)
