Promarker Storage

Good Evening!

It's been a dull and drizzly day today, but it's very muggy. So the saga of my shoulder still continues and I spoke to my GP this week and he has asked me to look up exercises for my injury on YouTube and to try some of those, if no improvement in three weeks then he said he will give me a steroid injection, roll on three weeks, I'm so not an exercise person!!

As I haven't done much crafting recently, I have been trying to sort some of my craft bits out and one of the things that needed doing was my Promarkers. I needed to put them in some sort of order and to find some storage for them. So I trolled Ebay and found some made from MDF. I was pleased with them and when putting the markers in I realised I had more markers than I thought so had to buy another one which you can get from here. The service was great, but I wish it came with instructions. I got there in the end so here they are...



I haven't painted them, but I might in the future. My only gripe is that I wish I could put them in the other way, but the holes are not big enough, as I put coloured dots on the other end so I can see the colour, oh well. I've just got to fill the other one which I will do tomorrow.

Have a great week and see you soon!

The Dreaded Boy Card!

Hello and it's Another Saturday!

So where has the last week gone, I'm still suffering from shoulder problems, not good at all, but hey ho. So it's really hot here in sunny Southend today and I went and sat in a friends garden for an hour or so until I was starting to fry! 

I made a card a few weeks ago for a male/boy, I really hate making them, I do like a nice girly card... So here it is and was really quick to make.



I do love this colourful simply print image from Lili of the Valley which you can find here, the papers I've had for so long I'm not sure where they came from.. sorry, the punch is  Martha Stewart and I used Spellbinder dies.

Have a great week, and thanks for passing by.

Hi

Hair Bows

Hello friends, I hope you've all had a good week? I'm still suffering with my shoulder and I can see another call to my doctor. So again I am sharing something I made earlier...  Hair bows made for my friends daughter.


How cute are they? I made them using Hobbycraft glitter felt and cut on my Cricut Maker, I added the embellishments to the centre and they have a hair loop on the back... Simples.

Anyway I hope you like and see you all next week, have a good one.

Here's One I Made Earlier!

Another Happy Saturday

Hi all, I'd like to wish any American friends who visit the blog a happy 4th of July, enjoy your holiday weekend. 

I know I've been quiet this week, but I do have an excuse! I've damaged my shoulder apparently its a 'Rotator Cuff' injury. I woke up with it and it's blooming painful. This means crafting went out the window! However, I do have lots of things I have made that I can post and I will show one today for you, it's one of the biggest crafting items I have ever made. So here it is...


I made this selfie frame for my friends baby shower back in 2018! To make this I purchased the poster board from The Range and I cut out the middle using a Stanley knife, then I made all the decorations using my Cricut machine and all the designs are from their Design Space.

I hope you like it, have a good week and stay safe, especially those in England as it's a day where we can now visit pubs and restaurants!
