Hobbies and Crafts

Happy New Year and hope you all are having some lovely crafting time. I was lucky to get the E Bosser, a god send with all the stuff I cut.
I am off to a three day craft retreat in April with three of my friends plus our yearly two day Craft Barn meet up in June so lots to look forward to.
A busy year ahead with the Manx Craft Guild as lots of events planned plus we have been invited to be in the sea terminal for the arrival of 10 cruise ships through out the year.

I will probably put this up as a seperate thread but for your information.

There is a Creative Craft show being held at Malvern Show ground (under cover) from 27th February to 1st March 2014.

I have been several times before and these are usually very good shows, they cover all sorts of crafts.
Machine embroidery workshops,
Decopatch and block craft workshops,
Bead work shops (3 different)
Mixed media Pile and plunder workshop (machine reverse applique
Extreme textiles
Needle felting flowers
Fusing fabric


Plus supplies for papercrafting/card making, cross stititch, needlecraft, knitting, stamping, quilting, sewing, scrapbooking.

If you want to know a bit more about the workshops ask and I will copy from the leaflet, too much to copy all at once if nobody is interested.

adults £6 concessions £5 no booking fee (on the day £8 and £7.) Offer for siscount ends midnight 16 Feb.

Jean!!!!! All that clearing out and yous till don't know what you have got :-D :-D :-D :-D

Never mind Jean. You won't have to buy any for a while now :-) :-) :-)

Guess what i have just found......waxed paper .... and just recieved the ones I ordered... :-S :-S :-S :-S. com

Happy New year everyone....let's hope it's a good one. Mine has started off well as I have been asked to join the design team at CD Sunday challenge blog. I am thrilled and it means I get to dust off all those CD'S that have been lying around unused for eons. So if you want to join in the fun and win great prizes pop along.. Or just take a peek for inspiration and see what the other designers have come up with....you won't be disappointed.
Take care. Hugs Wynn xx

Hello crafters, I have managed to get in my little craft area , and did two or three cards using new dies and a 6x6 embossing folder, all turned out well and I am especially pleased with the 6x6 folder so I will have a look at the others, Sallie I got the round M/anne die you have and its lovely. I got the one you used on my card havent used it yet but have an idea I want to try out, I also did a doilly type die sizzex and I think its warped it was a pest to do ,,I kept turning it so it finally cut out, but couldnt find any waxed paper couldnt believe I have used it all up... now it can be bought on the roll. so I will see how much it is it was so difficult getting all the bits out , wont let that happen again.... ;-) ;-) ;-)I put one die the wrong way on the card, so just turned it over . perfik.....I will take some pics later and send them to Ann and yourself....hope you have all enjoyed any craft pressies you got this year. I had mine before so christmas. although J did pay for some fancy edged cards for me . which I still have to use..... off to have a cuppa and a scone. bye for now Love Jean xx <3 <3

I have put three photos of baubles made by Annx on the craft blog. They are really attractive.

I have just put some photos of Von's printed wrapping paper on the craft blog :-)

I have actually completed two scrap book pages this month. I thought I had better get back to doing some pages as I have so many photos waiting, just done a couple of my parents, one when theyw ere 16/17 and one when they were both 17, the year they met. :-)

Winifred, I think I have given you the blog address where people on here have posted photos.
