new year regular blogging ???

hiya everyone , HAPPY NEW YEAR  to you all x i hope 2012 brings you all your hearts desires and health happiness and lots of crafty goodness x   with  my small new business being such a success from september last i have been a very absent blogger x but i am determined to change that and blog more ! so here you are here is a small selection of crafts i have been up to lately x enjoy looking and as always your comments make me happy x

this elvis card above is part of a candle set i made for a customer whose sister is Elvis crazy and by all accounts the candle card set went down a treat x

this engagement set is one of our new designs and since making it it has been very popular with customers who then like to add the couples names and engagement date and some even add a photo x

this baby sympathy candle is a very strange one to be asked to do as it gives me great pleasure to design one for a breaved parent or couple and on the other hand it is very sad to do too, but the comments from the parents when they see their little baby on the candle with a little poem they tell us is very uplifing for them . i have ony included the poem at the back of this candle as i have not asked permission yet to use the fromt wiht the baby image on x

well thats it for today , i hope you like some of our creations and any questions or suggestions just messsage me and i will get back to you

happy crafting

more candles !

Hiya everyone ,I hope you are all well and had a lovely weekend ? My weekend was busy work wise but today I made time to sit down and enjoy watching Dublin take on Kerry GAA all Ireland final what a great match it was , both teams played a great game but it was Dublin who took home the Sam Maguire so celebrations in Dublin well done to the lads .Now to crafts I have couple of things here are 2 more candle and cards sets I did for a customer during the week . They have been given to their receipients so it is safe for me to post x The brief was girls birthday fav. colour green and the rest was up to me and the pink was for an 83rd birthday and it was totally left to me to design , I love how they both turned and hope the client loved them too so fingers crossed the receipients love them too x

and secondly on crafts I had previously made my granddaughter Emily an altered frame and my Daughter loved it so much she asked me to make a full set so here is what i came up with

Thanks for stopping by and as always i love to read your comments and i always reply too .

hi all , here is an altered mirror frame i altered the other week . it is an ikea mirror and i didn't bother to remove the mirror as it was so cheap to start with but secondly it had masses of glue at the back and then i would have had to replace the mirror with some sort of backing ? no no no too much work for me so i just covered the mirror with some cardboard and set to work it is covered in paper with modge podge and distressed first with distress ink in brushed cordoury and top coat of modge podge tehn the fun ... lots of little snippets
flowers and butterflies and the stems of the flowers are little snippets beaded crochet , i love that stuff . then some paper blinged up dragon flies and hey presto a cute frame for my even cuter granddaughter emily

thanks for stopping by and chat to you soon
