Back on the crafty horse

So after nearly 5 days of no craft related activities due to trying to re cooperate a little....the list of things to do is even more compacted. Tonight I managed to list these 3 pouches in my etsy shop and website. So much more to do...

I love making these pouches, my fav part is the little button in the centre of the flower.

Last weekend I tried to take some photos of the new bags I have made, but when I looked at them tonight the quality is rubbish due to poor lighting. I'm planning on re-taking them this weekend. Here is a sneak peak of one of them soon after I'd finished sewing it.

I love, love, love this bag!! She will be going onto my website this weekend.

Double whammy!!

The sad :( face is now a :) happy face.....I've fixed my laptop!!! YEY ME!!!! I love the Internet, full of useful tips and tricks. A USB stick and a download later, a few buttons held down and Et voila.....one fixed laptop. I'm so pleased I didn't have to send it away to be fixed.

Thanks for all the fab comments about the tags and in response I'd LOVE to do a tutorial for you guys!!! Let me get myself sorted this week and I'll get on it.

And I'm also very pleased to say no migraine today!!! :D

Tags, laptops and migraines

Also completed last week were some more bagladee tags, I had completely ran out so I had a mammoth printing session and ironed half onto twill tape. I love these tags they look professional but sooooo easy to make!

Now for a sad face :( my little net book has decided that it doesn't want to switch on :( I know I am devastated, I don't know what to do with it...I've tried googling the problem but it all sounds way too complicated for me to sort, and I don't want to send it back to the manufacturer if I can help it. I might try one of Chris's friends he is quite handy with computers so maybe he can fix it?

Some of you may be aware that I suffer from chronic migraines and recently they have been taking control of my life......today was the day I gave in a went to the doctors, after a few tests and LOTS of questions I think we may have gotten to the bottom of the problem. In a nutshell its to do with hormones and medication so hopefully new medication and anti inflammatories will rid me of them for good. Now that would be bliss!!!!

Lots of sewing to do, but not tonight, pop back tomorrow I have some photo's of some more gorgeous stash.

Stash and weary legs

Last night it was ravioli and toast and a hot bubble bath.....

And this is some of the stash I picked up from the Crafts for Christmas Fair at the NEC. There were soooo many stalls there, supplies galore and so many talented crafters. There were all kinds of crafters there of all ages......we had a fab day.

I bought a reindeer pattern, some fat quarters of Christmas fabric, some lovely polka dot ribbon and these gorgeous wooden buttons that you can colour in with felt tip pens!!

I also got 3 balls of wool for my Mama, that were a bargain. Hope you like them Mama, cant wait to see them as hats or mitts :D

We walked round for hours so by the time we got on the train to come back to Notts there were definitely throbbing sore feet craving a rest. Well worth the trip, Andrea stocked up on her jewellery supplies and we spent the day having a lovely catch up......

Rememberance Sunday......

Ooooh I just cant wait!

Today Andrea and I are off to the Crafts for Christmas/Hobby Crafts Fair at the Birmingham NEC......I sooooo cant wait!!!

I'm feeling a craft supply splurge coming on :) see you later with stash photo's.

Nights drawing in

Now that the dark nights are drawing in, its impossible for me to take any decent photos during the week. I have a pile of items waiting to be photographed, 3 bags to be listed, some gorgeous cards I bought, more of the paper bag swap I'm taking part in and a few more bits and bobs.

So here's some of what I was up to last weekend....some more flower brooches sewn together and waiting for brooch pins, labels and rhinestones.

And some more jazzy ones to replenish 'Stuffed Nonsense' which are now sewn together and waiting to be photographed.
