Hey Everyone, Well that is the end of my 2nd week back to work after the hols and all in all I feel quite good.   The alteration to my working hours for my health seems to be working out just great.   It has basically been raining everyday so I have gotten the chance to sit and relax crafting every afternoon so I have had a fab time.   Do wish the sun would appear tho as do feel I need some sun and cant wait to get out to the garden :)
AS I said I have been really busy crafting, mainly altering projects, feel free to check out what I have been up to by visiting my Youtube channel, I am having so much fun doing videos and any comments are most appreciated.
Well time to get the day started and get ready for work
Have a great weekend everyone

End of the holidays :(

Oh well this is the last day of the holidays, back to work tomorrow. I have had a lovely relaxing couple of weeks tho and feel pretty refreshed for going back to school.
The beginning of this week I spent most of it in the garden. I got some veg planted up - peas, mange tout, rocket, cauliflower and red cabbage. I have parsnips to plant too and courgettes but the weather mid week put paid to my gardening efforts. It has been really cold and wet again, there was actually a shower or 2 of hail yesterday :( With the new work schedule of mine of just working 9 - 1 tho I will hopefully be able to take full advantage of any nice afternoons we have from now on.
On a brighter note the yuk weather has seen me crafting hard. I have made lots of altered birdhouses and I am excited as I now have a youtube channel http://www.youtube.com/user/faeriecrafts?feature=mhee so please stop by and have a look. I apologise in advance for my extremely broad accent lol, but I have tried very hard to keep my North East of Scotland isms to a minimum.
Anyway I am away to do some more crafting as the weather aint much better today again.
Happy crafting everyone x

Home again

Its been a while yet again...... anyway I am back from a relaxing weeks holiday in Norway visiting Vikkie.  Most of the week the shops were shut for easter but we did manage one trip to the craft store and bought lots of stuff (mainly stuff for stick pins and charms - Vikkie got some beautiful stick pins from Fiona (jennings644 on youtube) so I was desperate to make some of my own lol.
It was a crafty week, which I enjoyed immensely ...... I altered a photo frame, a box, made butterflies out of flowers, a little 4 x 4 album, an acetate butterfly (inspired by jennings644 on youtube), helped Vikk with a couple of junk journals (my job was inking and stamping) and the last day I was drawing (the first real art work I have done in ages).
Then we spent an afternoon rearranging Vikkies craft room, which was fun. Vikkie also set up a youtube account for me as I have been toying with doing my own videos, I will be using the same name as my blog so watch this space lol.
All in all I had a lovely week and cant thank Vikkie n Pete enough for having me yet again, love them both.
I shall put up some pics of finished projects once I have uploaded them.
