Home Sweet Home

By
Happy Sunday to you.  I was up early, the sun was shining so I ran the towels through the washing machine hung them out on the line, a first for this year and blow me now its pouring with rain.  Whats that all about!!!..  
We have a fun day of crafty gorgeousness to share with you over on the Graphic 45 blog today, including my Home Sweet Home recipe box.  Made for CHA back in January this was a perfect project for these gorgeously bright home themed papers.  We're always spoilt with imaginary in a Graphic 45 collection and in this one we have the most amazing vegetables to cut out and layer up.  Fabulous for home and garden themed projects    Working with just two sheets of each of the eight papers in the collection I went for blues and reds for this project and then added cut out detail on the lid, sides and on each of the dividers in the box. 
Here's a few more pics;



The recipe box/photo box is available as a kit on our website and we're making the project on Friday 20th and Saturday 21st March at Birds in the Barn.  If you'd like to come along and join in the fun call Janet 01206 211099 to book your place.  
I'm prepping today for two Graphic 45 shows on Create and Craft TV on this coming Tuesday.  If you're able to tune in show times are 11am and 7pm.  The channel details are in the top right hand column of this page. 
Thanks for calling by, enjoy what ever you're up to today and look forward to sharing more crafty makes with you shortly :-) C

    Hi Clare, This recipe box is fabulous, lovely vibrant colours, and so very useful too.
    My next door neighbour, yesterday, got her first set of washing dry outside. I spent all afternoon yesterday doing my front garden, a first for this year, and my back and neck are complaining bitterly, I could hardly stand last night haha, I can feel another 'soaking' in the bath again this evening, this getting older is no joke at all hahaha.
    Lots of love from Patricia xx

    Good afternoon Clare, Your recipe box is just beautiful and I love it. I thoroughly enjoyed your show this morning on C&C and will definitely be tuning in again later this evening. We too are enjoying some blue skies and sunshine but sadly I'm unable to get out as am having some neck/back problems again! Never mind. Take care.

July Giveaway and crafty Weekend in Milford Haven

Morning everyone, Happy Monday to you.  I"m home after a fabulous weekend with Cheryl, Jan and Chris, at their fabulous shop, In House Interiors in Milford Haven.  It was a full house on Friday for our Artisan Style workshop where we constructed, painted and altered pencil cases and albums.  Saturday was demo day and another full house.  Cheryl, Jan & Chris, thank you so much for hosting the event for all your hard work and your hospitality, you really did spoiled me :-)  It's been quite a while since I've travelled over the border to Wales so I was quit excited as I passed the Welcome to Wales sign and then Raglan Castle.

Saw my first Dragon too :-)   After a journey that took me across the middle of the country and th...
