Twitterpated Scallop Bag






I found this fantastic pattern here I made the bag in one evening.  I Love it as it fits my work diary in and what is even better is it is coordinated!!! The only thing that is missing from the pattern is where to position the darts, but it was easy to work out where they went.

So that was my Stampin' Up! sewing project last night..... This will be my ongoing crochet project, the wool has been ordered and it arrived this morning, all 36 balls of it! The plan is to make a massive blanket. I taught my daughter this weekend how to make the small ( three round ) granny squares, so hopefully she will give me a little bit of help. I have no idea at this point how many squares will be involved, I am just going to keep going until I have used all the wool up. I have estimated it will probably take me all year.

Stampin' Up! Googly Ghouls

My sister had a go at making the haunted house I made last year and used the Googly Ghouls stamp set. I love the way Frankenstein is popping his head round the door.

Stampin, Up Candy Wrapper Die

My sister and I made these today in preparation for Halloween. Each wreath took 18 Candy Cane Wrapper boxes. We used the Howwstooth & Scaringbone Designer Series Paper to make the rosettes. The stamp sets that were used were Toxic Treats and Googly Ghouls.

Candlelight Christmas Designer Fabric

I love the  Christmas fabric from the Autumn and Winter Catalogue. I used the Candlelight Christmas Designer Fabric (page 4) to make this heart garland for Christmas. Having had the new extension last year the ceiling is really high so I was able to get carried away creating these hearts. I crotched small flowers for the centre and placed a Neutrals Designer Button in the centre of some of them.

Stampin' Up! Framelit and Edgelits Dies

I made this box set for a hostess gift. I had such fun making them. I have cased some designs from several sources, the most obvious one being from the from of the front of the  Stampin' Up! Summer mini catalogue 2012.
I used Pool Party as my main colour base.The stamp set used is the Apothecary Art which is designed to fit the Framelits perfectly.

Lego Stampin' Up! Card

I made this Card last week. The Yoda punch art was taken from this talented lady. It can be found here. I wanted to take it one step further so I added a  Treat cup from Stampin' Up! and Lego figure. My son was not that pleased I had used one of his Lego men to make the card hence the finger marks on the card.

Recovered office Chairs


We needed two office chair for downstairs,  .... So I recovered them to match the decor!
They were really easy to do, all you need is a screwdriver, brute force and a industrial style staple gun.

Phone Case

I made this case for my phone a while back using the Timeless Portrait Stampin' Up! fabric. I followed an easy to follow tutorial which can be found here. It is designed for the iPhone 4,I did find that I had to change the measurements to fit because I wanted to keep the case on my phone. It is lasting really well as I made this case around four months ago. I think I am going to have a go at another one in the Stampin' Up! Spice Cake fabric.
