Yay! Another Project Completed!

I decided just before Christmas that I'd like to have a go at making a crochet blanket. I've only done a couple of crochet projects before this, like flowers and wrist warmers and felt like I should be brave and try something a bit bigger! I'm so pleased with how it turned out! It has taken rather a long time to complete, because I tend to have quite a few projects on the go at once! The pattern was really easy to follow and the yarn is so beautiful and soft. I used Debbie Bliss Pure Cotton Aran (it was on sale here).

Here the blanket is relaxing on Dylan's new bed!

And here's a lovely close up shot! :)

Thanks for dropping in!

Ta Daaa!

The bedroom is finished! I'm so pleased with it, I wish it was my bedroom! It still needs a few pictures and things here and there, but it's lovely all the same. Dylan thinks it's great, he's enjoying sleeping in his new little bed, instead of the cot. The bed does have a bed guard on it, but it doesn't look pretty enough to be in the photo's! The bunting on the ceiling was bought from here, I fell in love with it as soon as I saw it!

Also this week, I turned 31! We all had a lovely day of shopping, I've also done quite a bit online too!!! I'm just waiting for it to arrive now.... lots of lovely yarn! I've also bought myself a new pair of flip flops on Ebay. I used to own a pair of these a few years ago, I couldn't believe my luck when I found them for sale. Brand new, with tags and in my size!!! I've bought the yarn so I can make a matching bag. :)

See you soon!

Circus Tent 3D Frame

Morning! I've finished the altered frame I mentioned in my last post. I had loads of fun making this, I hope you all like it. I used loads of different Sassafras for this, it includes, Nerdy Bird, Apple Jack, Bungle Jungle and Happy Place. Sassafras is definitely my fave brand, if you hadn't already guessed! ;)  I wish I'd taken the photo's before I put the glass frame over really. I had a right job on trying to take the photos without getting a reflection off the glass. And all the time I was trying to take these photos Dylan was running a toy tractor up and down my leg! If anybody's got any tips on how to avoid getting my reflection in the photos, I'd be really grateful.

All being well Dylan's bedroom should be finished this weekend. I'll be really glad when it is because the house is upside down right now and it's driving me crazy!

Hope you all have a fab weekend!

Thank You Kelly!

I received my prize today that I won on Kelly's lovely blog. The goodies are lovely! I'm going to save the Cath Kidston dusters in my sewing box,  if I have a baby girl I'll make some bibs with them. If I have a boy I'll do the dusting with them! :) I can't wait to use the Hello Kitty memo pad, I'll use some of it on a layout that's for sure.

The decorating is coming along slowly but surely, everything takes twice as long with Dylan here! Bless him!

See you all soon!

Lilibee Studio Giveaway

Make sure you check out the Lilibee Studio Blog, there's a great giveaway. You can win the Apple Jack stash required to make the new One Week One Project. I'm going to start on that this weekend I hope!

We're in the middle of decorating the front bedroom at the moment, this will be Dylan's new room. We bought some gorgeous things for his bedroom last weekend from Ikea, curtains , bed set and a blanket similar to Iggle Piggle's. I've also bought some Apple Jack stash because I'm going to make some altered frames for Dylan's bed room, so watch this space!

There's also a layout I'd like to share with you as well today, It's Create 10 Project 9. I've skipped 8 and 10 for now, I'm in a frenzy of nesting at the moment! The prompt for this layout was to use more than one photo on the page. I've used photos of Dylan chatting to Auntie Clare's rabbits.

I used papers from Sassafras Sunshine Lollipop and Prima Marketing My Mommy and Me. I've embellished the page with Prima My Mommy and Me Rub Ons, wooden ladybirds, Japanese deco tape, ribbon and hand stitching. The alphas are all American Crafts Thickers.

Thanks for stopping by!

Create 10 Project 7

Good Morning! Here's my layout for Create 10 Project 7. The prompt for this class was to include a handprint on the page. I chose to use one of Dylan's rather than my own, I thought it would be a nice thing to look back on in few years! He didn't reckon much to me painting on his hand, he hates having dirty hands! I also asked him to draw a picture for me that morning to include on the page.

Papers used;Sassafras, Anthem. Cosmo Cricket, The Boyfriend. Basic Grey, Lime Rickey.

Alphas; Sassafras, American Crafts Thickers and others.

Embellishments; Sassafras stickers and paper whimsies. Die cut flowers.


Also don't forget to check out LilibeeStudio where you'll find a new One Week One Project tutorial. It's a lovely colourful mini album using the new Sassafras Apple Jack line. I'll be starting that project next week, when I've completed the rest of my Create 10 Layouts! I'm trying not to burn myself out! :)

Have a great weekend!

Baby Update

Just a very short one today. I've been for my appointment at the hospital today, which was my 28 week check up and booking in appointment for the Cesarean. Aaagghhh! It all seems very real now! We're booked in for the 6th July, only 11 weeks to go.

I haven't got any scrapbooking to share with you today. I had to have a rest evening last night, after a day full of Dylan's terrible 2's tantrums.

Thanks for visiting!
