OK This is something I never thought I would be asked for

"Please Mum can you make me a Birthday Card with a Poo Emoji"

So this is the card that I came up with. 

I think I did a reasonable job considering it is a Poo Emoji

Teaching for the Vintage Chicks Club

The other day I had a message from Bella who owns and runs the 

Vintage Chicks Club 

asking me to give her a call.  

So when I called I  received a wonderful surprise 

Bella asked if I wanted to become one of her teachers.

Of course my answer was yes .... yes ... yes ! ! ! !

So please hop over the Vintage Chicks Club website and have a look at all the wonderful workshops and retreats they are offering.

Don't forget to sign up and visit their shop which will be opening soon. 

I am a bit scared  to be teaching but on the other hand very excited as this is something I have worked towards for years. 

Also I can wait to meet all the lovely ladies attending the workshops.  

I will keep you all informed as to 

when and where I will be teaching.

Dressing a Mannequin

The other day I went into Lincraft to pick up a couple of scrapbooking supplies and came out with a Mannequin.

I have always wanted to dress one with paper, lace and flowers but always had trouble finding one. 

This is what I created - the first step was to paint it purple - but that was a mistake, I didn't like the colour so I decided to rip up little pieces of paper and glue them to the bodice.  Once they were dry I covered the bodice with gloss.  Then I made the skirt from paper triangles in two different paper patterns which I attached to the mannequin.  I then made a skirt of lace and my special beaded lace.  The final step was to cover with flowers, feathers and lace.  It was fun and I am really thrilled with how it finished.
