Tick Tock

Well, my craft room hit a snag today as the decorator couldn't make it to fix the problem areas for me, so for the weekend, all I have to show for it is an empty room and a half painted wardrobe and a painted radiator LOL

So I decided as I could do no more then I would make my altered clock. This was a plain wooden clock I picked up at the NEC back in March (with the sole intention of decorating it for my future craft room). I decided to decorate it to match the A R T letters I have also decorated. After much fumbling and swearing trying to figure out how to piece the clock parts together, I stuck a battery in and it worked - yay!

I already know where it is going to go in the new craft room and it will look perfect!

I also picked up a few other little bits and pieces to finish off the decor. All I need to do now is get it decorated!

My Lovely New Craft Desk

Wow - it seems like an age since I mentioned my intentions for a new craft room and now it looks like the plan is finally coming together! I have all the paint ready to decorate it myself and the room should be decluttered by this weekend to allow the decorator to come in to fix a problem wall and the ceiling. Then all I need to do is paint it and start moving my stash in! Yay!

So I couldn't wait any longer and I have ordered my new craft desk from Storage 4 Crafts. Just spoke to them on the phone and they were so helpful and friendly - great for storage ideas so I reccomend you pop by their website. It is being delivered on 4th Ocrober so I am very excited :)

Pretty in Pink

Wow! I cannot believe how long it has been since I blogged anything! Life has been a bit crazy, so now I am at home with a yucky cold, off work sick so decided to finally get out my gear and make something. I have made this for a swap I am participating in and it perfectly fits the Pretty in Pink theme for Gothic Arches!

It is also perfect for the One Powerful Hour theme of Alcohol Inks :)

Masks

The theme this week for One Powerful Hour is Masks. I made this a couple of years ago for a masked ball - it was made from a plain white mask. I still have it :)

Blog Giveaway

Hi everyone

Why not go and check out Karine Ardaults blog. Not only is she giving away a mysterious bag of goodies, but her photographic work is very inspiring and breathtaking. She also has some exiting ventures coming up so I wish her luck with that!

Christmas in July

The theme this week for One Powerful Hour is Christmas in July. Scary thing is I must have set a reminder in my outlook calendar to start making Christmas cards as of today! I did it last year as I was so behind with my cards last year - then forgot about the reminder so it shocked me when it popped up :)

Anyway here is my entry for this week - Merry Christmas!

Tags

The theme this week for Theme Thursday is tags. I made this a while ago, but it is one of my favourite pieces and sits in front of my craft desk as inspiration.
