New Look :)

I LOVE owls and clouds so when I saw this Blog in a Box I had to buy it!

It's by Zoe Pearn and I bought it at Sweet Shoppe Designs.



The instructions are easy to follow (but some experience is probably helpful)


I'm off to the Wave Rock Retreat in a few weeks so have to start thinking about photos to print and organise! Arrr.... I'm really looking forward to it as I didn't get to go last time.

Back Again :)

Mum, Suzie and I have just arrived home from our craft weekend together at the Duke of Orleans.  We all got heaps accomplished and had the BEST time together!  We weren’t ready to come home.

Mum and I arrived at 6.10pm on Friday night.  We didn’t do any craft and just sat and watched TV.  Here we are relaxing on the couch…

Then Suzie arrived at 9.30am Saturday morning and we got crafting!

Suzie and I went for a walk along the beach and into the bush to try and find some wild orchids but weren’t successful.  I did get some nice beach shots though.  It’s such a pity that this beach is always covered in seaweed…

I did hair accessories for most of the weekend.  Here are some of the ones I got finished.  I will put them all up on the website and facebook tomorrow…

and I revamped my shopping list clip board I made 5 years ago.  It used to be in heritage colours but now its decorated in the new Miss Nelly range by Kaiser.  I have a notepad hanging on it…

We have all agreed that we have to do this again!

TWOCAN STITCH

MIck (Murray’s sister) and I have just launched our new online venture called Twocan Stitch.

You can find us on Facebook or on our BLOG

We have been busy creating handmade accessories and toys for the past 3 weeks which at the moment include hairclips, head bands, kids and adults crochet beanies and baby rattles but have more ideas in the pipeline.  Suzie has also allowed us to put some of her cushions and a bag on there too to sell. 

If you have Facebook, we would love you to click the ‘like’ button on the Twocan Stitch facebook page to spread the word :)

Baker

We had a scrap night last night with Lissa and Lisa but only managed to do this one layout.  It’s great catching up with friends though, even if it’s not very productive.

Bree loves to make up her own recipes…here is her Nutri Grain Surprise :)

Getting Crafty

My sister-in-law Mick put me onto making these gorgeous zip flowers…I LOVE them.  This is my first attempt and attached it to a satin black headband.  I think I will make a brooch too.

The tutorial I used is HERE.

And Ashlee’s on a clip..

Ashlee recently bought some tiny coloured googly eye earrings from Diva and when I saw these larger googly eyes today in the craft shop I knew she’d love them as earrings.  It was a pack of 150 mixed colours. I just glued them onto earring backs…easy peasy hey!

So what have you been creating lately?

Weekend Scrapping

These are the 5 grand daughters on Murray’s family’s side.  A while ago I did the 5 grand sons page.  These gorgeous photos were taken on New Years Eve last year.

For Mother’s Day this year I wrote my daughters a letter and gave them each a piece of heart jewellery…
