Back from holidays and using my Gelli Plate
I am back from my holidays for over a week now and I am right back in the swing of work and leisure life here. As you may have noted, I had not only a holiday from work, but also from craft, blogging, sport, writing my weekly card and everything else I am doing on a...
Notebooks with quotes
I am a bit late with my blog, but I was just too busy in the last days getting ready for my holiday. The main thing was to finish my presents for my family and friends. By the time this will be posted I have hopefully arrived in Germany and handed them out. Pretty...
Mothers Day Notebook
After my mothers day notebook didn't arrive for over four weeks I nearly forgot to blog about it. In this notebook I incorporate some scrapbooking, German sayings, some photos and because it was for my mum I wanted to make it something special. I used a lot of...
What I love about Winter
Since I don't really like Winter I thought I should compile a list of the positive sides of Winter to help me getting through it. Here it comes - in no particular order. What I love about Winter is that I can cuddle up in bed in my big warm Winter quilt I enjoy lots...
Craft show madness
Its was just a week ago since I have been to the craft show, but it feels much longer already. Probably because I have already played so much with my new toys. This year, I was not only organised with my color charts, but also knew what things I wanted to buy and what...
Getting ready for the craft fair
I sort of started to prepare a bit for the craft fair this week. I created color charts of all my stamping pads and other paint mediums. They are also quite handy when I need to find a matching stamp pad for the project I am working on. I downloaded a color chart for...
I can’t deny it any longer…
I have denied it for a couple of weeks, but I can't any longer: Winter is here and it is cold! Yesterday I finally exchanged my summer quilt for my warm winter quilt and I also started to use my heater! We still have nice sunny days and its quite comfortable warm...
Lots of food and driving
Somehow this week flew by and I can't even remember what happened?! What I do remember is, that I was doing lots of driving as well as I had lots of yummy food. It started off with Darrin's birthday dinner on Tuesday, followed by the end-of-season dinner from ultimate...
Gravity Discovery Centre and Southern Cross Cosmos Centre in Gingin
Just a quick post, as it is already quite late and I know, I won't manage to do more posting until later in the week. Of course I did some craft last week, but there is nothing ready to show or I haven't taken photos yet. But I have been in Gingin on the weekend and...
My Craft Space and Being Creative
Since I had friends over for dinner last weekend I had to clear my craft table and I thought it might be time to show off my craft area again while it is still nice and organized. So I have taken some photos last Sunday. I am still very fond of my beach style...
Paper Lanterns
I completely forgot to blog about my paper lanterns I created some weeks ago! I saw them in a craft book, so I gave it a go. First I created a beta type from scrap paper, as I struggled with the instructions. Once I had worked it out I used some nice patterned flowery...
Too busy, but still some craft: Color resist
I missed last weeks post completely! I have been far too busy the last six weeks and hardly had time for myself. Ich hab ganz vergessen letzte Woche zu bloggen! Die letzten sechs Wochen waren einfach zu vollgepackt und ich hatte kaum Zeit fuer mich. The last weeks...
Interesting week
This week was going really quick, but I had some interesting things happening. On my way to work on Thursday morning I suddenly saw something black in the middle of the two line road. At first I thought it was a branch or something like this, but then it was crawling...
Busy Easter
I am late again with my weekly post after I had a really busy Easter. I was out and about a lot and even had a nice drive in the beautiful country side of WA. Of course Easter or rather the public holidays were celebrated with lots of yummy food. On Saturday I drove...
A special journal/diary
Remember that I recently mentioned in a blog that I am working on a project I can't share yet? Well, I can share it now: It is a special journal/diary and it was a birthday present for my dear friend Vada. The idea of creating a journal/diary is again from the...
Busy week
This week was again very busy with my "leisure activities". I need more weekend! Indoor volleyball officially starting again and Tuesday was our first training, Wednesday I played Ultimate Disc, Thursday we wanted to go to the outdoor movies, but since it was raining...
Crayon Resist
This week I tried a new technique I found on the internet called: Crayon Resist You emboss a piece of paper and ideally leave the paper in the embossing folder. Open the side of the embossing folder which shows the embossed design you want to use (negative or positive...
Old Projects
Last weekend was quite busy with my workshop and then on Sunday volleyball and dinner at a friends place and with Monday being a public holiday, I invited friends over and therefore spent most of the day in the house cleaning and cooking etc. During the week I have...
