other talents in our house

howdy ,

there is many many talents in our house . my younger sister is very good with words . she write short stories and poetry so well and quick too. when i asked her for a poem to add to blades book. something for alittle diffrent for a new page so she put her thinking cap on and came up with this which she titled "to our new friend" which i then put on a page for his book.

this is how it reads ,
fluffy ears, tiny tails,
cutest face, but oh so frail
our love for you shal never end,
for you, our eternal friend.

wet puppy dog noses,
and beauty like roses,
loyalty so true,

and a furture we coloud never see with out you.
but now you're growing up, and shall ni longer be a pup
and even thought you'll be older,
our love will never falter

i look forward to the furture, blade.
i know with you we'll never be affraid,
we'll always be here to watch you grow,
better owners you will never know.

sweet huh and only took her like 10 mins

piggies,

hello every one,

this is not another pet post , wel kinda but of a diffrent sort. meet pinky and perky (sisters choice after all they are her's)  these two are sock pigs. each made from two socks . i used the fluffy kind that comes out at xmas . to make both i used two pairs of socks . the idea of these cratures is that you use the odd socks that you get left with after a wash ? (the mystey of the missing socks will never surprise me or ever be solved in our house).

 with pink and purple i only added six buttons and two dummies  and two teddy eyes all of which i had in my stash some where .

 aren't these guys cute?

soft cuddly and so easy to make .

something diffrent.

hello every one,

im  awear my blog has become alittle one sided so pillows and scrapbook . so i have added this my dor hangers. i went to our local craft show last month called stamp magic held right here in doncaster . altho i will admit i was alittle disapointed at the fact most of the exsamples and stalls where the same as last year . there was one knew stall called the MDF man.

from this sall i bought a couple of things . a money box , a large book box and these two door hangers. kaisercraft is know for its beyond the page projects and these where a great purchase at the show and since id been intorduced to the mdf things by kaisercraft i wasnt scared to try these out so here i was two door hangs.

my sister wanted one so i started with her's painting both door hangers with two layers of kaisercraft paint in eggshell. there paint is great for mdf it only takes two coats three max depending on the colours and mdf .  then i stamped it with a script stamp i had in my stash.

 adding a couple of pink roses black filler flowers and some die cut leafs. i used prima pad i had which show cases a water colour like print on the paper .

 and i got the bling letters from http://www.merlyimpressions.co.uk/ colouring in the center stones of the letters with my pro markers . i also used a scrap fx chipboard word from chrissies web site colouring it in with my pro markers then useing my stickels to add some glittler .

then since i had two i wanted one . same idea just diffrent colours . for myself i went green red brown. and i used the word treasuers on my own. with my own anitial v . only this time i coloured the smaller outer rinstones with my pro markers.

yep love them . why not try your own the kiasercraft website has there very own door hangers .

blades book begins.

hello every one. 

i have started blades book. well to be fair i started his book a while back but im sharing it now. while i was on the way of his book i wanted to try and keep it consistant with the same paper line threw out( i have since thrown this idea out the indow and started using all sorts but ill share that later) so on my look out i came across basic greys black dress collection and thought it perfect for his book as his main colouring is black white and grey.  once id ordered the 12"x12" pad and a few little bites i went onto ebay see if i could find some embelishments that matched this collection alittle cheaper.

 altho i never found the emblishments i came across an acution that was for a pre made four page basic grey black dress collection paper pack. this was great . the pack shows you how to make four stunning pages. one double lay out (featured here ) and two single pages full instructions and with embelishments laft over . plus it was the collection i was useing ( they have done this with other collections)

 so i went on my way when they arrived to start blades book in this way. ive not done much scrapbooking and for me this was a great way to take out the danting fact of how to a, start his book and b, how to lay out my pages all i had to do was add the pictures .

  i did add the bling to this page as well from my stash of papers and such. but i love how this show cases blades mum and dad . and how i can record where he came from . his mum featured here is a pure bread siberian husky. she is long haired and quite small .

and here his dad short haired again pure bread siberian husky. both with his feature black and white and grey marking but they are stunning.
hope you like these and looking forward to some more of his book.

pillow fetish part one

hello every one,

right practice makes perfect right? so working on this theory i have combined two things i have had a stab at befor (sewing and patch work) to make a third things i have done befor a pillow. ive called this a fetish because well ive been making a few pillows which i will share with you . but this time round i didnt want to  draw a design. so i used one of the prima stamps that i have . printed it onto a cream layer cake bella solid and got to sewing . this time round i used red and aqua blue . and of course i didnt think of my hole project i just went with it. 

 sew once i had sewen the hole design and yes it was done with only useing back stich as its the only one i know. once id done this i hit a wall . what fabric do i use to make my pillow?

 and wow be tide surfing the blog world and i come across ruby . the perfect mix of red aqua and greens to make my pillow . so hello ebay and away i went ordered myself a charm pack and here is comes to my pillow .

so two things yes my lines are off on here i know that . two my sewing got cut off alittle on the front. no this pillow is not perfect . however it is mine it is what i ave made and for this reason i love it just for me.

layout stand,

hello every one,

so i introduced you to my new scrapbook on going project of blades book . and since i now have my blog and want to share with you my projects . i thought it about time to make and decorate my kaisercraft lyout stands which i have had for a long while now. so i got them out and then spent about 10 mins just looking at them. then putting these into goolge i didnt come up with many more ideas. i knew i wanted something simple but that loked good to sit on the shelf when not in use. so i decided to paint these black . keep clean .

 then i sat there again until i knew i had some bird cages which once again i ordered way befor with the intention of some project which i never got around to making so these where just sat there . yes i have had it pointed out to me im a percrasinater. i mean i find all these projects i love and want to make  and then never get around to it because i find more projects that i want to make and so the list goes on. and with in this time i have bought so much stuff to make one project that gets pushed to the back burner. well no more hence the reason ive made these .

 painting the cages white so they really pop from the black stands and adding some red roses. classic simple and another colour combonation of red white and black that i love together.  adding a few rinestones to add alittle bling and here they are.

i love these roses and how you can curl the stems . im not sure but i think maybe i should have added leaves but hey i dunno. well best go use these to show you some layouts
