A couple of Twinchies

Good Morning, I am popping in to share a couple of "Twinchies"  I managed to make this week.

I have always enjoyed making small things, it's a great way to use up scraps.

My finger is finally showing signs of healing, its been almost 5 weeks since I got stung, or bitten, didn't realise I had been until I came home from shopping when I saw a huge blister covering the end of my right index finger, being right handed it's really been awkward, I couldn't even use a pen to write!

So on to my Twinchies, these 2"x2" squares are fun to make. These two were made from spare card that had paint/inks on them.

I stamped a background and added the images that are digi's from Lemon Creation.

I hope you like these, I do have some Atc Circles to share, so do check back in a day or so.

Thank you for dropping by my blog today.x

What I am doing...bit of a catch up.

 Hello Everyone, I'm just dropping in today to share an Altered Puzzle Piece that I made goodness knows how long ago. It has been  blogged before.

It's always been a favourite item of mine and as I was in the garage sorting my craft stash I came across the tin that I kept it in. The puzzle piece is from an old child's puzzle, my great grandsons that he lost interest in.

I have been sorting through a lot of my stash recently, haven't been able to do much as my right index finger is still out of action.

But finding this puzzle piece made me wonder if I should create a Fun Challenge Blog for all things small, like Inchies ( 1x1 inch square ) Twinchies ( 2x2 inch square ) Rinchies ( 1 inch round ) Altered puzzle pieces, altered Dominoes etc.

It will depend on how much interest I get really.

Now on to my recent makes...I decided to dust down my sewing machine and get a few Bears made. These can also be made in to Memory Bears from clothes from a loved one.

I also made a few Bunnies for a couple of my great grand children, again these can be made from loved ones items of clothing.

This is the Memory Bear I made for my great granddaughter Millie. It has been made from her Nana's jeans and some tops.

The Blue Bunny was made for my great grandson, he just wanted a Blue Bunny, this one isn't a Memory one.

The grey bunny sat at the front I made for a friend who is having chemo at the moment.

Thank you for dropping by my blog today, be sure to leave a comment if you are interested in creating small things and share with friends in case they are interested too.

Have a great day...xx

Taking a Break

 Hello Friends, it's been a month now since I last posted here, I just want to say I haven't left, I am just taking a break from blogging.

As you know I took over running Valerie's Tag Tuesday Tag Challenges when she was ill.

After 2 years, I decided to step down, I felt Tag Tuesday was not as popular as it once was, with less than a handful of entries each week and lack of input by the owner it was the obvious choice to close.

I discussed this with Valerie and she agreed.

The teams, past as well as present have been amazing and a great support to Tag Tuesday.

I'm sewing some soft toys at the moment,  I will pop a couple of photos on here soon, it's going a bit slow as I have an infected insect bite on my right index finger and it's taking ages to heal.

See you all soon.x

Another set of Faces.

 It's me, back again with 2 tags for Michele's "Faces" theme over at Tag Tuesday

The stamps I have used are from the same bundle of stamps that I bought from another crafter, I have used these before and I thought they would be perfect for Michele's theme.

Thank you to all that drop by and leave me such lovely comments. x

Faces

 Hi Everyone, I am just posting one of the Tags that I made for Michele's theme over at Tag Tuesday

I used a strip of water coloured card that was left over from another project, cut a narrow strip and added to it, on top of that I added the 4 stamped faces that I mounted on some lilac card.

The stamps I have never used before and unfortunately I do not know the maker as I bought them and a few others from another crafter when she was downsizing her craft items.

In my next post you will see a couple more tags using other faces from the bundle that I bought.

Do pop over to the blog and join in with Michele's them. x

Add Wings and a Crown

 Hello Everyone, I have missed joining in at SPA (sunday postcard art) recently. For some reason the blog will not let me upload my entry to the challenges. I have no idea why and for now all I get is to create a wordpress blog. So I apologise to all the lovely people that have hosted challenges recently that I haven't been able to play along with.

However Mandy has offered to upload future entries for me, yay.

It is my turn to host this week and I have chosen the theme Add Wings and a Crown.

I hope you enjoy my theme and I look forward to visiting your blogs.xx

Another for Pinkys theme.

 Hello Everyone, I finally found my missing tag, I had found it where I keep all my stamps, I must have bundled them up with my tag and packed it away, sounds silly, but it happens.

Plenty of Pink here.

A couple of days left for this challenge over at Tag Tuesday.

In the Pink

 To my shame, I am running behind again with my craft projects, life gets in the way sometime and I can't always do just as I want to.

So here is a quickie Tag for Pinky's theme over at Tag Tuesday

I do have another tag, but I can't find it right now, I think I have in a pile of papers that were on my work desk, which I packed away, so will have to go and look for it later.,lol.
