New addition to the family....

If I said I was obsessed with animals it would be an understatement....
I adore animals..
For Lady C's birthday we decided to get something she could take care of, be gentle with, something to call her own, knowing nothing about Guinea Pigs at the time I didn't realise the huge commitment...they need a pal, they need a 120cm cage and Peruvian Guinea need a daily brush.
But after all they have fitted in really well, we are keeping them inside for the winter and will get a hutch for the summer.

I love the fact they know my voice and come over to the side of the cage for cucumber or curly kale and actually take it from my hand, so cute. We have called them Bubble and Squeak, squeak is the one snuggling in my home made snuggle sack, (what did you expect? a new Guinea Pig line is on the design table..)

whats the film crew about?

well theres a odd story...my mums friends grandson....you keeping up?....makes product videos and has been searching for long haired Guinea Pigs and saw we had 2 on Facebook so that brought us to Friday. We has a photographer, 2 camera men, a model (Chris) the product licencee and James the producer! What a day, it took hours but a great experience, bubble only weed on Chris 3 times...the table twice but they do say never work with children and animals! Lots of other stuff going on but heres a little snippet!

This too nearly 2 weeks to upload!!!!!!!!!!
Hope you like this tutorial, I am very technically challenged and found this a little confusing at first but with a few tries I found how easy it really is to make beautiful envelopes in a flash!

So much has been going on , I will fill you in over the next few weeks but I am hopefully back and up and running soon!

I love crafty sales that actually have things I love !

 
Love Stampin up products and love their Fabby offers on lots of sets that are so nice, the only problem is which to choose.......

Pop onto my online shop and grab yourself a bargain..

So many things going on at the moment I will be back in action very soon, there is light at the end of the tunnel and I'm hopeful it's not the oncoming train.

Back to Normal at last!

Although my new room arrangement isn't finished, the girls are back to school fully on Wednesday so I can feel a little normality again and get it finished!!!!!! I really cant wait, my craft studio has to be an Interior Design Studio, Stamping Studio , Scentsy Studio and a sewing room....as I type this I realise I must be mad...
Summer holidays have flow by, we were lucky to go to Majorca and Abersoch this year , we got back a year ago, have done school shoe/uniform shopping and today and shhhhhhh......don't tell anyone..bra shopping too.
Both girls wanted to be measured, Lady C isn't quite ready for a bra yet but we managed to get her a little starter bra to keep her happy,she was petrified, think she thought she would have to stand in the shop naked! The lady was very nice and reassured her so for once no problems.

The day was finished off with a trip to the doctor, Lady K went on and on about having a henna tattoo, after giving in to her this is the result....the picture doesn't really show how bad it is, its like raised sore blisters, awful and not right...should never be allowed. we hope we are treating it early enough to avoid scarring, bless her she's very upset

Late Friday post on Sat...whoooops......

Sooooooooooooooooooo overwelmed!!!!!!!

Horrid horrid job!!!! not even a bit of the way through...soooooo tired!!

I have boxes and boxes of stuff everywhere!!

I love looking and tidy peoples craft rooms, I just want one NOW!!!!!!!!!!!

Horrid Job!

All change here! as if my craft room chaos hasn't been a nightmare for a long time I now have to move my Interior Design Studio in there too...how? HOW?

I am ALWAYS sorting my craft studio, I spend a lot of time looking at ideas of storage, I love moving things around, planning, rehashing etc etc....but I now have to get something the size of 40 people into a Mini.......not easy at all!!

The only way I can do this is to empty the whole room, then create the following..
KEEP PILE
DONATE PILE
CHUCK PILE
Then make a design table, raised up with design books underneath, a Stampin up area, Scentsy area and a sewing area......feeling tired thinking about it....
Tomorrow it begins, the hard stuff.
The gazebo is up in the back garden to decanter the contents, 2 large trestle tables are up and I have employed some child labour who will be paid in sweets, chocolate and maybe the odd fiver....

wish me luck, I'm gonna need it!
