Cute little house

Isnt this cute?

A couple of weeks ago I got the new Cricut Cartridge Winter Woodland, which has a few yummy christmassy things on. Well I got otherwise distracted by a calendar class I am doing tomorrow, and so only got to play with it yesterday evening.

On the cart are a few 3d buildings. You make up the outer in one colour, the liner in another and slot it inside. Well with it being halloween I thought I would just make the outer and line it with tissue paper and put a tea light in.

Well, its very tiny - only about 3" at the longest bit, and so no one is going to see it if I sit it on the windowsill. So, I think a very big piece of card, and the 12x24" mat is called for and I'll try another version for Christmas.

So watch this space....

O and for those of you who are coming to the class, dont worry the car is all packed up!

Blimey, I had no idea it was that long since I last blogged, but sure enough its a month! Well I have only one excuse I was really busy doing stuff for 2scrapladies. However I am off work this week and so have a little more time - ah who am I kidding, I am up to my ears in kits and the cricut is red hot, but while it cuts the latest set, I can blog a little.

So as you can see in the photo there is no sign of the desk, but I seem to recall that once apon a time there was one in my office. Aparently there is a nice laminate floor underneath too, but that is currently covered in tiny snippets of paper, green and yellow velvet paper fuzz and glitter from the glitter card. Anyone stopping in here for more than a few minutes also soon becomes dusted in fuzz and glitter.

Still, by the end of the weekend it'll all be over and I'll have to come up with a new excuse for having a small tornado go off in the office!

:-)

WOYWW - again!

Goodness this week has gone quickly. My desk as you can see is still a mess only this time you may detect a distinctly christmassy feel to it.

The foot is pretty much totally better, thanks to some pretty major antibiotics, some medicinal cake from my friend and a few days off work. Last of the antib's taken tonight and hopefully thats it gone.

Taught my first proper paid class on Saturday, at the notsolocaltomecraftshop - thanks everyone who came, hope you all enjoyed it. I am looking forward to doing some more if I can conjure up stuff I think people will like.

Lots of stuff on my desk at the moment, this is just a smidgeon of it. I have piles for the copic class I am teaching on Saturday. There's cut out and coloured in digi stamps (hopefully for a future class) and scraps, and a load of Cricut carts I need to put away. Basically I need to have a tidy up.

But I think I will sit here, with my foot up (still waiting for RUB to come out with a padded lid) and a cold drink and surf the net for a bit.

Update on the boring entry re: my foot. It was lots worse so I saw the doc today, who was surprisingly lovely. She thinks I have an infection so I have horsepill antibiotics and have to stay off it for the rest of the week - oh what a shame!

:-)

Ow!

Woke up yesterday morning and my ankle hurt. Didn't think much more of it till half way round the shops when it became painful, which grew as the day went on. I put it down to sitting at the 'puter too late Friday night cos I know I sit with my feet all scrunched up like you're not 'sposed to.

Which brings us to today. I am slathered in ibuprofen gel, the really useful box under the desk is a footstool (a new marketing line for them - cushioned tops - big seller!) and the ankle is worse. Walking at work tomorrow could be interesting!

So I am consoling myself with colouring in samples for my copic class next week and have the following piece of paper in front of me to do a LO for 2SL. I have a bar of choccy to hand, and a glass of juice. So luckily I have no need to try and go anywhere for an hour or two.

:-)

Woohoo!

I hit the 1000 mark (if you ignore the 11000 that was mysteriously added)!

Scrapping in the dark ages!

I made a LO this weekend, for the notsosecret project I have going on over here, and have used some skeleton leaves!

So what you say?

Well I never used them before. They have been around forever, I've seen a million of them in the shops and gave them a good ignoring cos I just hated the stupid things. Well a friend gave me a couple in a birthday gift swap and they sat on my desk making me feel guilty until this weekend. Not only do they look fab and lovely on the LO, but I am forced to think they may not be as bad as I first thought.

Gosh at this rate I might use eyelets next, now that would be just plain scarey!
