It’s been a few weeks since my last post, and what a busy few weeks they’ve been. Homeschool continued until last Friday, when we broke up for Easter. My approach has changed a little (a lot!) as all children finished school shortly after we did and the childrens’ school posted a timetable out, as well…… Continue reading An Easter Update
When I looked at my blog on the computer and not just on my phone, I was reminded that once upon a time (2 years ago) I was in the top 100 cardmaking blogs. Lately, cardmaking posts from me have been in short supply (as in non-existent) so I decided to change all that. My…… Continue reading Cardmaking Round Up
This week’s crafting has been all about portable projects and end of term gifts. The Coastal Crochet CAL blanket isn’t making an appearance because I haven’t done any more of it, I have last Friday’s rows still to do. Next week though it should be back! I’ve made masses of progress on my sock after…… Continue reading WIP Wednesday-18th July
The sketch pens have probably been my most used accessory on my Cameo 3, as they allow me to add greetings quickly and simply without using the printer or having to cut and stick fiddly little pieces of lettering (although I have also done that on occasion!) Of course, using a printer is just fine,…… Continue reading Tips for using Silhouette sketch pens
In recent years, I have tended to make similar cards for both mine and Mr C’s mums as I was limited for time. This year, however, I had a whole day set aside for the job (actually just the part of the day where the children were at school/pre school, minus time for doing chores).…… Continue reading Mother’s Day Cards 2018
I missed WIP Wednesday as I was so busy and didn’t think ahead to schedule a post, so I thought I would combine it with a finished object post too. My FO was actually two papercraft projects made for, and sent to, a friend who is opening her own yarn store this weekend! I’ll start…… Continue reading A WIP Wednesday/FO Friday mash up
I have been the proud owner of one of these awesome machines for 15 whole days now, although I only got it out on Boxing Day evening. Mr C warned me that the reviews online said it had a lot of settings and could be tricky to use, so I braced myself for a learning…… Continue reading Things I’ve Learned As A Silhouette Cameo 3 Beginner
Happy New Year to everyone who follows (or reads but doesn’t follow!) my little blog. Well done if you’ve followed this all year, it’s certainly been a busy one! I know for a fact before I even start writing about these goals properly that some haven’t been met. And you know what? I’m not going…… Continue reading 17 for 2017-December (and Final!) Update
I’ve still managed to work on some projects this week as Mr C did all of the present wrapping whilst I was at work one day so I haven’t had to spend every evening making a mess with tape and paper. (He will definitely be on Santa’s good list for doing that job!) Instead, I’ve…… Continue reading WIP Wednesday-20th December
Yes, I have made a card. I still do, occasionally, despite all of my recent posts being about slippers and snowmen! I realised today when I looked at my Garmin that this card should be with it’s recipient today, but I made it this evening so it will get there on Tuesday. I really am…… Continue reading Five Minute Make Camper Van Card
