My crafty cave

I love my crafty space. It's a place to create, a place to ignore whatever is going on in the outside world and it's a place where I get to spent creative time with Kris and friends.

For a long time I've been organising and sorting and I know I promised to share some photos when I was finished...... 

Well that will always be an ongoing thing so I thought I'd share some pics with you now.

This is my crafty studio....

 All sorted and organised.

 12x12 stack that's now as tall as me....

 I do like ribbon....

 Here's my desk...... Ready to get creating...

As you can see, I do love a storage box or 3. Thankfully I stay very close to an Ikea store.
Kris and I always joke that 17 years ago I had a shoe box of craft stuff..... Then I had a tower unit and corner in dining room. Then I took over the small room, the collection keeps growing too. So when Kris got a place of his own, I moved into his old room.
I'm uber lucky and I just love it.....

Where do you craft? I'd love to see pics...

chilling kind of day

So, today I'm blogging from my phone! That's a new one on me and I have to be honest, it's one I will only be doing in an emergency.... Just much easier on my lap top.

Today I have no crafty pic to show you, they're all on my laptop. But I was Ted to share this pic with you.
This is Kris, my wonderful, kind, hardworking son. I couldn't be more proud of him.
The pupsters are Daisy and Dylan. They are our adorable rescue springy things....

I'm in the middle of gutting my studio, nearly there but its taken me a lot longer than I thought..... Watch this space for some photos.....

Welcome 2016!!

Happy New Year to you all.
I can't believe that we are now into a brand new year.
It's great that new beginnings mean exactly that - time to close the door on the old chapter and start a fresh page.
So here's to all of us and the new adventures that 2016 will bring.....

The card I wanted to show you today is the card that I made Kris for Christmas....

Here are a few close ups for you to show off the details.....

I loved making this card..... what crafty things have you been up to - or what crafty things do you have planned for 2016?
