What a start to the week!!

The vision of a calm, lovely start to the week has not gone to plan :o(

Monday was my birthday - Yay!
Monday I did my back in again and now it's slowly getting worse!
Monday my boiler broke and now have no hot water or heating!
Tuesday back even worse, still no hot water or heating, busy at work but a lovely present arrived!

This lovely Cath Kidston bag was filled with goodies! (Will take photos when it is not pitch black!)


Let's hope the rest of the week runs smoothly! Fingers crossed.

Promise I will get back to posting about craft and hand made goodies rather than life traumas!

New direction

Over the past couple of weeks my craft has moved in a slightly different direction and one that I am really excited about, as it has given me loads of new ideas!
I'll post more about that this week!

To go alongside this new enthusiasm I purchased this lovely book yesterday - Printing by Hand by Lena Corwin. It has great photos, instructions and ideas!

So what was inside the parcel?

A while a go I posted about a lovely parcel that I received. The packaging itself was lovely but inside it was gorgeous! My new Orla Kiely bag!



Loving that design!

Biscuit Emergency!

After spending a Summer in Australia a couple of years ago I discovered the best ever
biscuits!

Luckily enough when people visit Oz they kindly think of me and bring back lovely goodies. However these are my last pack and I'm trying to make them last but it's not easy!

It's Pink and sounds oh so good!!

I love TV and spend far too many hours watching it! When I'm working I have it on in the background and then tend to find myself sat watching it rather than working!
So this year I invested in this cool Pure One mini DAB radio. Digital radios are great - It is so good not having to tune in the stations plus I can plug the I pod in as well.
An A* investment!

Finito!

I've finally got round to finishing a project in 2009! Plus I've found a really cool website thanks to Betz White.

So here is my finished project made from all those card circles. I love it! I got the pattern download for Paper Globes from the very cool Heather Bailey.




If you click on the scrapblog you can view another page! The hours of fun I will have with this!

Help!!
As you can see I've been playing around with my blog template, but anyone know how to get my blog picture in the centre? It is really annoying me!
Any help appreciated!

~~Pink Stitches~~

After being ill for Christmas and New Year I decided a needed a little treat!
So this lovely looking parcel arrived mid January. I'll show you the gorgeous item that was inside later but how clever is the packaging!


Cut out the handle and hey presto a cool bag!

WIP

A while a go I had lots of these....


That have now turned into this....



and hopefully by tomorrow it will be a finished item!

Yippee!

It's another ....


However I am doing some day job work and hopefully by this afternoon I may be through my pile of "To Do's" and get onto something a bit different.

SLUSH

That's about it for today - just lots and lots of slush!!
The snow has melted.....but we are on snow watch again!! There is supposedly, when listening to the TV and radio going to be at least 10cm in my area over night!

Caught this lovely blue sky a couple of days ago.

Did I hear it was 2009?

Blimey! Not sure where the end of 2008 or the start of the 2009 went!
(Apart from having a cold, then the flu, then a stomach bug, I was slightly fed up!)

Glad to be back and to start the month of feb a snow day!!

Changes

Hello there! (So much to catch up on and talk about but for today an explanation)
I have been pondering about this for a while and now I've decided to put the plan into action!
My dilemma - two blogs CraftyB and Pink Stitches.
When I get round to selling my goodies I do so under the name of Pink Stitches, I have changed Flickr to Pink Stitches, therefore as you can partly see I am going to be changing the blog to Pink Stitches!

Does all that make sense!?!
So hopefully as of tomorrow you will only be able to access my blog through pink-stitches.blogspot.com

I do hope that all my fab readers follow me over!
