Altered Chai Latte Pot

Hi everyone.

I have a little altered project today.
I was so fed up of looking at my boring pen pot.
This was created to enter Brendas 5th blogaversary.
If you haven't seen Brendas blog you are missing out on some beautiful pieces of artwork.
We have to share our all time favourite crafting item by entering a new piece of artwork using it.

If you have been following me for a while you will know that my favourite die is Caged bird by Tim Holtz so of course had to be used.
I covered a piece of white card using my favourite swirly butterfly stamp from Flourishes by Michele Marsden.
I love all types of swirls and this pack has a few very pretty ones.
Added some orange ric-rac along the top and bottom
I also love sparkle so used irridescent pearls and then covered them, the cage and leaves in holographic glitter.
Finished off with a flower, candi and blue ribbon.

No longer a boring old pot and I love how it turned out.

Penny Black Valentine

Howdy peeps.
Yet another dreary day pouring with rain.
Apparently it is now the wettest Winter the UK has had in over 250 years.
Looking at my poor flooded back garden I can totally believe it.

Today I have a Valentines card that will be given to my hubster.
The die cut is by Marriane, just love this one.
I have used the umbrella couple from Penny Blacks 'Mimi's Many Loves' as it is very fitting given all the rain and means I can enter it into the Penny Black challenge.
For this month we have to make it sparkle so I have added lots of iridescent  glitter to the swirls, heart and butterfly.
I have coloured the umbrella couple using promarkers.


I am entering this into the following challenges...

WOYWW - 245

Morning all.
Boy is it cruddy here today.
More torrential rain and gales.
I will be so glad when Summer gets here LOL

Ok today I have for you a photo of my desk.
I have decided to try and take part in the WOYWW
Not saying it'll be every week but I shall try :)

This is the beautiful pine desk that my dear hubby bought for me last year.
Yep there is a desk under that lot honest *nods*

Anyway, I haven't been crafting as much since September but I did start a knitting project which is a jumper for our puppy (yes of course he needs one)
Bottom left corner you will see the puzzle folder and puzzles my son bought for me to keep me quiet LOL
Perfume and galaxy tab from my hubby (nothing to do with crafting I know)
Finally you can see my latest item which is a felt angry bird.
It was supposed to be an ornament but is now my pin cushion and decoration LOL
Hopefully my next WOYWW will be more interesting for you all.
Thank you for looking :)

OMG don't you just hate brain farts


Hello hello hello.
Yes I am alive and kicking.
Well alive anyway lol.
Where have I been ? LOCKED OUT.
Damn fibro fog and gmails new password recovery feature is the pits.
You click on forgotten password and then in the next step it asks you all kinds of questions including 'Last password you remember'
Well HELLOOOOOOOOO that's what I clicked forgotten password for *rolls eyes*
Anyway long and short or it is I have finally gotten back in *hurrah*

I have now added my other account (scrappingbits.blogspot.com) as author so if you see Bits N Bobs posting don't panic it's only me LOL
At least this way if I lock myself out again I will still be able to post :)

I have a TONNE of catching up to do and haven't done any crafting as such apart from cross stitching since September last year so have itchy fingers.

I am sure I have a desk underneath all the junk I have been piling on it.
If I remember i'll post a photo before I start clearing it LOL

Oh before I forget BRENDA thanks to you we now have a Labrador pup.
Well Labrador x but still a Lab lol
More on that in my next post but below are a couple of pics at 10 weeks old.
This was supposed to be a quickie as it hurts to type too long but hey ho.

Enjoy your evening everyone :)
