T for Tuesday and WOYWW?#756

Late as usual. Of course, silly me, if I didn't say I was late, who'd know? Join in with WOYWW over at Julia's Stamping Ground and pop in to Altered Booklover too.  I'll mix up the pictures, just to add to any confusion. Top picture-not Tea for Tuesday but Hot Chocolate instead (with squirty cream)..Yum.  I've pulled out my Christmas Mugs, so there should be a different one on every week until Christmas! (Says She, of never getting anything finished)

 Anyway! I had some 'Happy Mail' this morning, which waylaid me even more, as I just had to have a play! and got out the iron board, which is really a pop up crafty table...and started crafting!  So, above (not finished yet) is a halloween box card scene, love it! I'm going to fix it to a card, as it lies flat for posting. For once, I'll be early for next years Halloween!

 

I've been trying to keep up with Rach and Bella Christmas Crafts  Collaboration 2023. (Sorry. Google won't let me link it).There's sooo many different crafters joining in making crafty stuff on their YouTube channels every day this month, that I've forgotten where I've got to! I was trying to download the 'Prompt'-the idea of course is that you can 'join in'. Ceri The Crafter was on in the week, making belly bands and tags, which got me having a go too and then I found a freebie 'fold out filo' download (Wonderful Watches) from Vectorian Designs on my laptop (nothing to do with anything I'm talking about) and I had ink! So! That got printed out and made. Seen above with the waterfall pockets. (I now have no ink!)  I ended up sticking clock stickers on mine...(she does warn you in the video) as I had the clocks up side down on the front pages. 

I went to a crafty fare over the weekend and won a small Christmas wooden stamp set and a flumpet in the raffle.. 

 Then, below, I spotted this cute little Teddy at the same fair. Big teddys, were £3. Medium ones were £2 and the one and only small bear was a £1.... (all needing new homes)
Once home, I opened up his (still fixed to him) tag to reveal his price when he was new ...£39.95, so he instantly became my bargain of the week!

I also took some dogs out and got covered in mud! (No, I'm not showing you a picture!) I actually got out of bed about 2 in the morning, remembering I hadn't posted this post...then noticed an email from my insurers...about the accident that happened last Christmas Day night...they are asking me, if it goes that far, am I willing to attend court!? Yipes...Ok! (I'm hoping I won't have to pay sooo much insurance)  Well, that's what I've been up to this week. Pop over to Altered Book lover and Stamping Ground to see what everyone else has been up to! Thank you for stopping by! (I have no idea why that bit suddenly typed in capitals....I didn't type it in capitals! and it's not in capitals on the posting side)

This weeks Wednesday FREEBIE!!! On A Sunday.

Yes, I know I'm confusing those of you that look out for the weekly freebie on a Wednesday...and it never comes, but sometimes it does! but on a different day. And sometimes, I just can't do....anything. I binged watched the tv most of Friday...What Happened to Saturday? It disappeared into the ether, floated off into space...Okay. Back to reality.... Here's this weeks freebie... It was supposed to be Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer... but I've forgotten something... perhaps they're under his hat! I cheated a bit, because there was this reindeer on my shopping bag, which I rather liked...so I got the idea from that...

CLOSED

Thank you for stopping by!

WHaTs On your Work TOP WednesdAy?! #755

  And!!! (Breathe) I made it...it's .still Wednesday and I'm still...alive! Happy WOYWW!? I'm joining in with Stamping Ground...last as usual! I did manage to get round last week...but didn't comment on everyone. I'll try harder this week! And what A week....No, I won't go there...you'll just have to image it...oh all right then. Telly's been going a bit daft, in this case going all 'pixelated' which has nothing to do with Piskies (which is where that word actually comes from!) I guessed it needed a new dish...it did...all okay now. The blind lady came...new blinds in about two weeks....you thought I ment...yes...No. She can see! Then the electrician turned up! I thought he'd take one look at what's going on out in the garage and say...'Not going there mate!' But he soon worked it all out and is going to spend one morning, sorting it all out for me....(so I can use my Freezer and Tumble Dryer without it all fusing all the garden lights, John's man cave, my potting shed and pond!) oh and yes...I now have new glasses....no money left after all that, but new glasses!

 And so....as you can see from the pictures above, I'm in the kitchen. Camera man (Kittle the cat's owner) was coming last Monday but was late at a meeting so is now coming at the weekend... so  all work in the craft room stopped! But as least I can see the floor! Pictures above shows that I'm once again cutting out tickets and tags... It sort of gets my mojo going, a tiny bit! 

 The Alice in Wonderland papers/tags/pockets, and these flowers above are all freebies from Tara L. Jacobsen. (Google her, adding freebies or try HERE) Join her and sign in (you'll get a password in an email) and in you go. Loads of lovely freebies.  Well, that's me done me thinks. Pop over to Stamping Ground and join in! Thank you for stopping by!

ps...the other lables, (buttom left of top picture) are from Tracy Fox's esty shop. Botanical Labels. LoveJunkJournals.

One last (not very good) picture. I've put a chain and a charm on this little Alice tag.

It's A Freebie-On a Sunday!

 Well, why not! I run out of time again in the week-so grabbed a pen and pencil just now and come up with Hettie The Hedghog playing in the leaves...Of course I know the leaves should be a lot bigger-probably bigger than Hettie, but then you wouldn't see her! Go HERE to download. It won't be there for long. If it's not being downloaded, gofile will take it down... A comment would be lovely! Thank you for stopping by!

Whats NOT on your Worktop this Wednesday #754!?

 Happy very Late WOYWW #754. I thought I'd shame myself after someone said last week, they'd like to see a horrific or was it hideous, craft room. Well, here it is!! Just one corner of it. This is why I've been crafting in the kitchen....or the living room for most of the year.

 

My Simply Cards and Papercraft Magazine arrived with this nice stamp set and dies...so I thought I'd have a go... The stamped and died snowflakes, weren't too bad, but I found a few dies in my stash (really?) and cut them out and then embossed them and I think they look better.

 If I were you, I'd nip over to Stamping Ground and join in...there's some really fabulous craft rooms over there!! Thank you for stopping by...

Happy Birthday Debs for The 15th of November

Another birthday I nearly missed. Sis in laws....I won't tell you how old she is. She started dog walking/boarding about the sometime as I did so thought this doggy card would be just right. But I have a little niggle in my head that I may've done a card like this one some years back. The coloured scene (using Promarkers) fell out of a folder and I thought! Yes! I'll use that one, and quickly fixed it to a cut down card... made an envelope and another little one to add some birthday money in. Nice and quick-but you should see the state of my craft room now!! It's worse than ever.  I MUST do something about it.... I have some one coming to sort out the camera stuff, which John got ages back, on Monday, so I could video my cards... I can't keep doing that on the egg-box with a biscuit to balance my phone. (so I can have my hands free to play at crafting!) Anyway! This is a Bugaroo image PNG-ed over the sky background and then 3D-ed. That's it! Quick and simple! Thank you for stopping by!

  Update. Yes! I had used this image twice before way back in 2014... https://spyder-spyderscorner.blogspot.com/2022/02/the-2nd-on-2nd-2014.html  Now I know the sky background was from PinkPetticoat. Whatever happened to them? And the strippy background, done with (Promarkers) is one of my foreverfreebies.

 You'll find the freebie-wonkie-strippy-paper HERE

Aw...dam...it's started raining again.... Better go and draw this weeks freebie!

T stands for Tuesday!

 

  I know, I'm a rubbish blogger. Life is a challenge! This week...my telly's gone completely wrong...pixelating and making strange noises. Been doing it for a few weeks. But on the good side, I still have my old recordings, plus Netflix, YouTube, Firestick, Britbox. Amazon Prime...(somewhere) etc etc.... (That's if I can remember where they're hiding! Weirdly enough, all the other telly's are working fine!) This week is really the same as last week.. But I like to try and join in, just to make me DO SOMETHING!! And because it's Tuesday  I'm joining in again with Elizabeth and BleuBeard's, T stands for Tuesday. There's no tea...so, I added my Cornish Tea container instead. (It's ususally lurking in the background somewhere. Once, and this is odd, as I took the picture, Google jumped in and showed me loads more of the same type of pots...Who knowns how that happened...interesting though... and proves....Big Brother IS Watching you!!

After clearing back some crafty stuff, this is this weeks breakfast... Porridge (yuk without sugar, Ok with...) closely followed by my diabetic stuff...a gravy cardboard pot made into a pen holder, a hot chocolate  Brioche, my fruit whizz up drink and a large container of water... I'm just hoping all the sugary things I've just eatten will get 'washed' away. In the week, Fancis my Airedale Terrier dog man, came and fixed my Outside light. It was less than four months old when it suddenly stayed on all the time. (So I took the bulb out) Now it has a new add on sensor. Perfect. YAY!!

It was rememberance Day, last Sunday and every 11th of the 11th there's always loads of poppies set out in churches or wherever there is a War Memorial stone Cross. This was  at the church, in Lymington on Saturday Morning.

AND!! Looky see! This fabulous Hunkydory 12" Supersize Guillotine (with purple bits) arrived free this morning via Practical Publishing because I subscribed to Creative Stamping Magazine. Love it....and then....

The postman delivered my Simply Cards and Paper Craft magazine with this months 'freebie' "SnowFlake Sparkle" stamps and diecuts. I'll be playing with this later...stamp and cut them out and then add embossing powder, and zap them with the heat gun. They will be lovely! I'll do a few, ready to add to cards. That's it from me this Tuesday, hop over to The Altered Book Lover and join in!! 

One more picture...This is granddaughter, Niamh....ready to go trick or treating last week! Thank you for stopping by!

Happy WHat's On Your Worktop WEDNESDAY! #753

HI! It's still Wednesday, so I'm joining in with Whats On Your Worktop  over on Stamping Ground.... been a bit out of it, as not been well, and I had dogs... cleaning up takes ages! And it keeps RAINING!! I'm using radiators to dry clothes and dogs towels... (dog Tails?)...as I still can't use the Tumble drier...(or the fridge or the freezer) long story...they're in the garage, and if anything is on in there, the fuse blows...Pop!! I was going to do a bit of painting on a masterboard but somehow that didn't happen...so I watched  Ceri The Crafter, playing with his latest design using his Gel-plates most of the night, brilliant! I really MUST have a go at that! I did do a bit, but then got gerfrumbled... I'm still in the kitchen as craft room is just toooo hideous to take photos! so had a practice with making another little filo/journal booklet. I want to get that right before I use my 'nice' papers! I also cut up some tickets and stuff, and backed them using a nice caramel coloured card (which was a chocolate dessert wrapper!) 

Well, that's it from me! Late again as ususal! Pop over to Stamping Ground and join in too!  Thank you for stopping by!

What's the time? It's Time for Tea on Tuesday

 

Hello crafty Tuesday Peoples...I've missed a few weeks, as photos wouldn't load and then I had some doggy visitors, (doggy...not dodgy!!) one of the owners left me this yummy chocolate dog as a thankyou! And then I felt reeeeallllly ill...Not covid just something else, who knows!? 

 

 Was off my food....but this helped! Anyway, this is a bit of a mixture of the posts that didn't get posted. That's if it works!

 So, I'm signing in to Altered Book Lovers Tea for Tuesday and!!! Surprise, it IS actually Tuedsay! Yay!  First couple of pictures show breakfast, boring lunch, ham and cheese Toasty, less boring,  the left overs of a spicey chicken casserol I made, which I later whipped up into a soup. It was  lovely and really attacked that bug I had. added a bit of sour cream to cool it down a bit...

 Postie had just come... bringing some half price magazines from CraftStash...plus a little T Holtz mini Chopper!  I love it....so cute! ...Just right for doing all those little chopping things! 

Then, below, there's today's lunch, a mixed salad corn and wheat wrap, with sour cream and Tikka chicken. This tasted so much nicer than it looks! (And like before in another post, I took the cocktail sticks out first!)

In the top right of this picture are my bargain of the week.... 50p each two little lizard hangers.They might end up in the garden.

And just now....I've been sorting out a few things. Trying to get my mojo working. I'm either going to make a painted master board with scraps...or make a new little journal....what would you make? Go and join in with Bleubeard and Elizabeth! That's it for now! Thank you for stopping by!
