new elsie kits.

if any of you liked elsie flannigan's previous journal kits, check out her etsy for 2 new ones. at £25 inc shipping to the uk they're a mite pricey but very cool.

today i spent around 2 hours sitting in borders flicking through craft books and found this fab magazine, craftzine.com. totally fab. but as its a US import quarterly, it cost £10 per issue! but i had a good read through the 2 issues there. the online blog has loads of articles and things to try. i particularly love this one on plastic bag crafts. i saw a fab article in it about crochet copies of designer handbags and fell in love with a Chanel one.

seriously. check this out.

Ive also been looking at amigurumi on etsy as id love to have a go. this seller, saplanet, has kits with all you need to make a cute creature. amy gaines also sells really cute patterns.

*the oxfam boxes a couple of posts ago were rejected because they were supposed to be black, not blue. my sister's company also offered them 50% off but they still said no. charity begins at home i guess!


*had a very unsuccessful attempt at trying to get tom to the vets today. he was all starved for blood tests, was miowing until i got out of bed and when i did he vanished under the bed. my attempts at retrieving him were met with hissing!


*have a new ignition on my car. fingers crossed it will start ALL THE TIME and not when it feels like it.


*got my october qtea kit for my GDT spot. love love love it. if you fancy being the guest designer for the spring add on, check out the blog by saturday the 27th september!!

yesterday i ..

went to leicster to see my friend Sade. ate£ 41 of yo! sushi between two of us. bought some cool orange flowered fabric for £2 a metre



i have been majorly outbid on the camera i was watching, and also a second, better model. i have my eye on one with 4 days left so have put a reasonably high bid on.

today.

*im bidding on a polaroid EE100 folding camera on ebay.
later: argh outbid..so i bumped the price up lots! hahaaa

what i did on my holidays..

or at least yesterday!

seeing as it was (for once) a gorgeous day, me and marcus went on a bike ride to a local park. this park is newly created and already has loads of birds and things living there like mr heron..


..and mr moorhen.. yesterday evening we went over my dads to help my sister fold 1500 oxfam donation boxes! and they had to be folded and stuck just so or oxfam would reject them. so much for charity!


and then this morning we took tom to the vets to be weighed and he still hasnt lost any weight, so next week im taking him to see the vet and maybe have a blood test to see if there's a reason why he hasnt. he wont be happy though as its a fasting test. that'll be fun at 6:30 in the morning!

scrapjacked.

i did this LO for scrapjacked and guttergirlz using september's sweet spuds kit. how fab is that rose moka paper!

new kit club

found this club, kenner road, through aniia's blog. love the antique look to it. they still have the main kit available, $34 plus shipping.
