three of them ready to be covered with sheets of kitchen towel that i had carefully peeled apart to make them really thin lots of gluing layering and shredding the towels into tiny scraps later and then when dry coating in acrylic paint they looked like this looking better but not quite finished so i coated them in more pva glue and rolled in silver glitter and left to hang for a day these were the 2nd gift item for my partner in the christmas decoration swap and as they have now been received i can show one of the things my partner said she liked was contemporary silver and pastel xmas

pastel xmas themes but also adored vintage didn t mind paper or fabric and would leave the choice to me this is one of the items that i made i was really just spud ling well it came up on my spell checker with some christmas material and a wooden curtain ring and wondered if i could turn it into a christmas wreath as you do so i tore a selection of christmas material off cuts into very thin 6 strips and tied them onto the ring until it was filled up i then trimmed the strips back nearly to the knots to get the right perspective and added the little wooden birdie a piece of the selvedge

fabric cut into 56 5 charm squares and received back 28 different prints with 2 squares of each i used 24 on each for the pockets so still have 8 squares left to make into something else this is the first one i did prior to breaking my wrist and the second one that i was determined to make come what may which i managed by stitching the pockets on in a continous row and using my elbow to feed material through my sewing machine the boys haven t done a post this week as they say they have been busy up and down the stairs all day long looking after the doc who has just had an operation and is all stitched up and me why not pop on over to julias blog to see what everyone else has been up too posted by mrs a at 13 21 23 comments monday december 05 2011 button annie i like making raggedy annies and my blogging friend sherry likes making sculptured face dolls so when i found that sherry was to be one of my partners we had 3 each to make for in the recent button floozies christmas swap i just knew i had to make this for her the criteria was to make a christmas ornament to hang on a tree or to be a small shelf or table accent that is decorated with buttons the buttons did not need to be the only decoration but should be a main or special element of the design i had seen a button doll on the floozies blog and decided to adapt it to be one of my ornaments her face is made from one large white button which has been sanded to give a rough finnish in order to draw her face i incorporated the two button holes to make her eyes by cutting out small circles of felt embroidering the pupils and then pushing through from the back to make her googly eyes i have also given her red hair in plaits her legs are made from black cord and i added felt boots her dress is adorned with lace and trimmed with small red and green buttons to match the material last but not least her shrink plastic wand just had to get the plastic in somewhere entering into the following 1st unique gifts

post about it on your blog well i tried making a mosaic up using flickr and my favourites folder but soon realised that it wouldn t work having your own pictures saved in there what to do okay go to plan b always have a plan b up your sleeve or in my case up my plaster cast i spent all yesterday evening copying and posting each calendar picture into word and re sizing onto the same page took absolutely ages as they kept jumping out of sequence on the page as i added each new month got there in the end though next print off sheet and re photograph upload to my pictures and post here where there s a will there s a way i have nt bound my pages into one claendar as each page is mounted on cardboard and has a cord attached for hanging i want to be able to use the pages each month on my desk instead of having loads of post it notes and papers stuck on a clip board reminding me of challenges to enter and each swap that i enter last posting dates so here are my twelve calendar pages for 2012 many thanks to anne for suggesting photoshop and suze for picasa i will keep those in mind for next time posted by mrs a at 17 49 14 comments friday december 02 2011 and here s one i prepared earlier the final calendar challenge over at the craft barn is for the december page and they are asking for red green plus pine trees and sparkle i literately threw this one together single handed before i got plastered at the hospital this morning see previous post the tree stamps are both from crafty individuals and the glitter from my stash don t try this one at home yourself glue glitter and one hand do not make for good team work now if i can just work out how to do one of those nice little mosaic thingies to show all my 12 pages i will be laughing normal services will be resumed asap good job all my christmas makes have been finished and photographed have a great weekend and don t break anything posted by mrs a at 22 38 6 comments in the pink not been blogging this week due to unforseen circumstances iv e got well and truly plastered slipped over in the wet weather on tuesday afternoon and then spent yesterday at a b e having x rays taken rings cut off and a splint put on to counteract the swelling went back this morning to have a temporary plaster cast put on for 2 weeks as the fracture break they think i have does not show up properly on the x ray till that time if i m lucky just the splint needs to go back on but if not it will be a hard plaster cast for 10 12 weeks eek wanna see well what other colour could i possibly have had thank goodness i m left handed is all i have to say posted by mrs a at 22 15 17 comments saturday november 26 2011 london fog the challenge this week over at the craft barn is to do a november foggy bare tree look with a touch of pale yellow peeping through this one nearly had me beat as i don t have any bare tree branch stamps then i remembered that there was a tree sticker left over from halloween night so we were in business the page has been colour washed using memento london fog ink pad and the hint of yellow is made up of a wash of t h distressed ink antique linen and wild honey blanking days are the london fog ink i did try using black owl cut outs for the days of the week but it looked naff so have kept the page plain and simple apart from the cat sticker he was the only one to venture out on such a dreary foggy day posted by mrs a at 06 14 9 comments wednesday november 23 2011 woyww no 129 not posted a woyww for a while due to ill health now on the mend but still sound like a honking swan when i talk this picture of my desk is actually taken tuesday morning but i wanted to include it for a reason i recently entered the button floozies altered autumn button tin swap but sadly my partner did not acknowledge receipt of her tin or send her swap to me when laurie the host for the swap found this out she very kindly unbeknown to me made and sent at her own cost from usa this super decorated tin and buttons i love all the buttons that are in the tin but the five i have selected in front are my favourites hope you can zoom in on those as i couldn t get in any closer with the camera lens without it going blurry when laurie told her friend about it she also wanted to make me a a tin before knowing that laurie was going to to send to me so jeanelle thank you so much for your sweet thought and lots of hugs to laurie for making my day for me so whats on my desk today i m really behind with getting one project started and finished the squares have been hanging around for about 2 weeks now though i have sorted them out into the layout i want to use they all need hemming and there are 48 in total to do the knitting is in conjunction with the same project there are 6 finger puppets on the pattern so far i have managed to make the duck very fiddly as there are only 16sts altogther and you knit it in the round started on the elephant but have now realised in order to increase for his ears i need to be working with 5 needles in stead of 4 so need to do a quick change over the two blue and one white bauble are an experiment i was going to throw a load of tacky baubles out last year but hung onto them instead these are some that i have covered with small pieces of kitchen towel and pva glue and dried overnight in the airing cupboard iv e painted two blue and waiting for them to dry out again before i go onto the next step to be honest i m making it up as a go along pop on over to julia s blog for some more desks to have a good nose and poke around thats
