Good Morning Ladies,

Boy, have I got some amazing things to share with you today, some amazing crafts and some adorable photo's of Our Karen's adorable Grandson 'Oscar' x

First up today are Our Cheryl's Fantastic Fernli phone stands, Cheryl has painted them and decorated them with Die Cut bodices with stunning Maribou Feathers as the skirts, they are so beautiful, I love the little masks that match too, what young lady wouldn't want one of these?
The men themed ones have also been painted and decorated with Cogs and Sprockets, I think that these will fly off of your Stall at the Fete Cheryl, I will share your other things next week, I will also leave a link at the bottom of the post for Fernli Designs website, you won't believe how reasonably priced their goods are and they are such good quality too.
Thank you so much Cheryl for sharing your crafts xxx

Lynda has created another one of her fabulous boxes, this time the top has been decorated with a vintage image, some stamps and some of the lovely Metal Embellishments that she buys on Ebay, the sides of the box have been decorated with Box Pleated Tulle and a piece of lace around the top, Lynda I love seeing the different boxes that you design, they are all so amazing, thank you so much for sharing them with us xxx

Janet has also been shopping at Fernli Designs, this is one of their Large Caddies, they are known as Lace Caddy but I keep tools and Artiste Paints, Glues etc in some of the ones I have, I abosutely love the papers you have used to decorate your caddy Janet, it works so well with the pretty lace you have used, Janet has also trimmed the top edge with Pearl Flower trim and some pearl string and some Braid around the bottom.  The ends of the box have been embellished with Crafting Insomniac's Resin Pieces (trees).  The Birds and flowers add a fab finishing touch too, Janet has also decorated the Spools that the lace has been wound onto with Matching Paper, such a beautiful way to store your lace and trim. 
Thank you so much Janet for sharing your fantastic craft storage with us, I will share the other amazing projects you sent next week xxx

Last but by no means least, I will leave you with the most adorable photos to put the biggest smile on your faces.  Just look how adorable Karen's Grandson Oscar is, Karen says his mummy was pulling faces at him at the time. That smile would brighten anyone's day wouldn't it?!
Thank you so much Karen for sharing your photo's with us xxx

Well thats all for today ladies,
Have a lovely weekend,
Love and Hugs
Sandra

  1. Morning Everyone
    Oh Karen thank you for making me smile this morning. Oscar is so adorable. I just want to pick him up for lots of cuddles. Thank you.

    CHERYL-I love seeing your creations. They are so full of inspiration and always look so professional. I don't think they will be sat on your stand for very long and I'm sure you will exceed last year's amount you raise. Thank you

    LYNDA- I just love your boxes. You always come up with different finishes and this box is no exception. Which seller did you buy the metal bits etc from?

    My Fernli Lace Caddy is to stay here at Marigny so that I'm not carrying my big box of laces back and forth. I now need more of the lace holders from Fernli lol and I suspect that I'm going to need more storage space here at Marigny too. Watch out Jim I can see another cupboard on the horizon hehehe

    We had mille-feuille (the equivalent of our Custard Slices but quite different) so as you can guess they are layed slices of puff pastry with rum flavoured confectioners custard cream between the layers finished on top with a dusting of icing sugar. Definitely a 'once a week' treat!!

    The temps picked up yesterday again and we reached 30c and this is forecast for the next few days. So it's jobs done in the morning and inside in the afternoon relaxing with feet up.

    Have a good day everyone and I hope you're all receiving my hugs which are sent everyday. Dobbie has done another sterling job this week so he will continue for a further week although he doesn't know it yet.lol.

  2. Good morning Ladies,
    Wow ! what a stunning selection of mixed craft, but I have to begin with Karen's grandson Oscar's big beautiful smile just the perfect way to start the day, made me smile too, what a gorgeous baby he is, I bet you get great cuddles Karen , enjoy!
    Cheryl , I love your mobile phone stands ( who could resist buying one of these?) boy or girl they are fabulous , they should sell like hot cakes!
    Lynda, your boxes are a work of art and must be treasured by anyone who receives one , that is if you can bear to part with them , all the lace etc , makes them truly sumptuous !
    Janet, you really are wonderful at mixed craft you seem to be able to turn your hand to anything, your lace caddy is a masterpiece and useful to boot!
    I hope to play golf this morning but as the weather is unsettled I'll see what it is like at 10 am , I hate playing in the rain and as it's an 18 hole medal it could be a long slog, I expect our family from Edinburgh to arrive around tea time so will be kept busy after that.
    It's our wonderful daughter in law Fiona's birthday today so a few celebrations will take place when everyone is here..
    Have a lovely weekend whatever your plans are, love and hugs to all xoxo

    Goodness-Cheryl, Lyndy& Janet...you have all created such beautiful items. Really lovely.

    Karen-Oscar looks such a happy little chap, gorgeous photo of him.

    Quick visit as I'm off for a eye test this morning and I need to pop to the shops in the village then head into Southport. My eye test isn't until 9.50 but I have a few things I need & would like to get some of them before I go into to opticians.

  5. Sorry ladies I'm making a real mess of this today. I've only had 1bhours sleep and not awake yet.
    LYNDA what a beautiful box. Ideal foe keeping bits and bobs in. When I saw the scissore I thought of sewing things. How long does it take to make such a work of art?
    JANET last but not least. Such a stunning lace caddy. and how lovely to have one in each country. So glad your weather is good. Like you I do everything that needs to be done in the house and garden as early as possible before it gets too hot.
    I'm actually off to the garden now to brush. The bourgainvillias have been shedding their flowers and they are stored in all four corners of the garden. Theres quite a little mountain of them. Then the rest of the day is mine yeh. I think I'll have a play with my new dies.
    Janet, your pastries sound delicious but back on the diet again today after my lovely meal out yesterday.
    Have a good Saturday everyone.
    Love Valxxx

  7. I have to say thank you for your lovely comments Oscar is just gorgeous I could just sit and watch him all day even when he's asleep Charlotte was talking and making faces at him whilst he was on her lap and I swear he's trying to copy her I love the way he coos and "talks"
    Your mixed media today is lovely ladies Thos phone stands are very clever CHERYL and should go down very well
    Your box is beautiful LYNDA and JANET I love this and the idea of storing lace and ribbon I think I will have to treat myself to one of these as my few bits of ribbon are wrapped around bits of cardboard

  11. Just a quick call I haven't used Brushos or Pixie Powders so I'll be interested in all of your thoughts I can't get over how many demonstrators and presenters are defecting to the Craft Channel... makes you wonder doesn't it I intend to watch Jodie of Tonic fame at 2pm to see what she'll be "selling"

    1. Hi Karen
      I can't get the craft channel. But wished that Tonic had gone to Hochanda instead. As far as I can tell the Craft Channel isn't on for very long time no and Dawn Bibby is awful.

  16. Hi everyone. Hope you all had a good day and that Michele's eye test went well. As I said I went for a work shop this morning and yikes what a messy one it was hihi. We played with Alcohol Inks and it was great to see so many different colour mix. Most of them manged to finish their cards but as usual I didn't ,don't think I'm peticular slow it's just when there are only four cutting machines and lots of components to cut and I let everyone go before me I tend to be last so now have to finish them off at home tomorrow. I will send some photos for you Sandra soon. Not looking forward to the weigh in tomorrow, the scales won't lie. Where is my Night owl friend ? hope you are alright. Wish you a better night Lynda. Hugs to you all Xxxx

  18. HinMaria. I am here now. Expect I have missed you. I have been out all day with a friend and am shattered. Glad you had a good day with Julia. Would love to do that but a bit far and for reasons I don't want to go into I steer clear of Milton Keynes. Not long back from holiday and still trying to sort myself out. Hope you are keeping fairly well. Take care. Hugs Littlelambx
