Im on a creative roll ....

Last night I was sitting in my studio with my hubby having a cup of tea.
I saw some earrings I had made a few years back, some angels wings and and some inspiration come over me. I got up and said to my husband "I just have to make something". Out came the wire, beads, fabric and away I went. The little angel above is the creation. 
She is made with a Tilda fabric from the Flowergarden range and I am in love. :-)

Also, I have been on a Modge Podge binge lately. Having made the Christmas Deocration below and another one too, which I havnt taken a photo of and this little gift bag above. This is a little bag and on it I have used a lovely Shabby Chic tissue paper, Tilda Paper Craft papers from the Flowergarden series, Riley Blake mini pom poms and some gorgeous pink and white gingham ribbon (from France) - I just had to add that in, as I love things from other countries, other than China. I have made the folded ribbon roses from the link in my tutorial tab.

I have also been very inspired by Pinterest... this site is so inpsiring.
I spend time on there every day finding tutorials and inspiration.

The above photo is of some clay tags I have made for Christmas. At this present time I cannot find the link for the tutorial. I will tell you have I made them.

Instructions:
White clay - air dry clay is what I used.
A crochet doily
Rolling Pin
Cutters.

Roll out a handful of clay. Place the doily over the top of the clay and roll. This will press an imprint into the clay. Now using the cutter of your choice cut out the shapes. I used a snowflake, heart and star cookie cutter. I used a small birthday candle to make the holes for the string to go through.
Leave to dry.

So everyone, this is my very creative week.



Have a great day

The 'other' quilt Im working on...



Well the title says the 'other' quilt Im working on...its really one of the many quilts Im working on.. I wouldnt like to list how many projects I have on the go as it is rather embarrassing.

This is the first block for Seasons of the Heart by Leanne Knell for Petals and Patches. I had a bit of a disaster with the corner blocks so I had to use something from my stash to fix that up. Im a bit naughty when I make things from patterns. I find it very hard to stick to it and I go off and do my own thing.

Also here are the Shepherd Bush Stocking I have done... as I said in the last post I just have to make them up. 3 made and 3 more to go...one for each child.

These are made from shell... Paua shell and a mother of peral type shell..



This is called a Garden Bracelet.. I have made many of these in many different colour ways and given them away as gifts.

So thats me for today....
