Halloween Ooooooh!

Ok So I promised a pic with my papers from Jen at Flurogodess,

And here it is.

It is a 3 layered paper cut, Halloween Card.

I wanted to put "Halloween" on it but felt I couldn't add anymore without ruining it, already felt I had gone a step too far with the Cob web!

I wonned I wonned!!

Thank You to the wonderful Jen at Flurogodess

I have received a bunch of Halloween goodies including a Fake worm

(with a warning, "I am for scaring not for eating" yet I still had a little Sniff, Poke and yes even a lick! *Blush* )

Some much needed Orange and Black papers amongst other goodies which my children will be thrilled with too. I hope to produce something half decent with the papers and post some pics!

Thank you again Jen x x

So 7 facts about me;

1)
I was coeliac (Allergic to Gluten) as a child, thankfully I out grew the condition in my late teens.
Discovering Doughnuts and fresh baked bread was a heavenly Joy!

I had a friend at school who said I could eat the remains of her cake mix as her mum had used gluten free flour; She lied and I was very poorly sick and missed the party.
(that was nearly 30 years ago!)

2)
I don't hold grudges.

3)
A brick wall fell on me when I was about 6 or 7 years old. I suffered nothing more than a grazed shoulder! and I had no top on!

4)
My family owned a pure white cat called fluffy,
she had 3 ears, 1 eye and 2 club paws! (she hated me!)

5)
My name "Buffy" is a pet form of "Elizabeth" As a little girl I used to say Lily ~ Buff and the Buff stuck, I was chuffed to see this in a baby names book recently!

6)
I have always lived around this area and my children attend the same school as I did,
Some of the teachers from my days are still there!

7)
I completed a 5 year Mechanical Engineering apprenticeship at Imperial College and went on to work there as a workshop Technician. It was the last year and as far as I know the last Company to offer such an Apprenticeship as the old school apprenticeships are now long gone!

Run for the Camera! The Sun is shining!

Having received my delivery of a new knife I thought I would put it to the test with a little paper cutting. It passed the test and got my eldest hooked on stenciling Rock Stars for his own Banksy style posters! I never get to keep anything for long in this house!

I am also chuffed to pieces with a lovely set of cute Christmas stamps and have produced my first Christmas card of the year! Albeit a very simple design.

And finally I have got my website up and running! wooo Joy! :D

There are only a few wine glass charms up for the time being but it is a start!

Like the true professional that I am, I made a set of Fimo Wine glass charms for a commission and failed to photograph them before Selling! D'uh

So have made three more though I am not happy with the present with the larger ribbon as the gold leaf looks Naff.

Christmas already!

With two fayres on the horizon and Halloween!
I have ordered in some card making bits n bobs.

Been busy with more wine glass charms and generally running around like a headless chicken crying out for inspiration and a feeling of "I can't do nothing!! "

I haven't bought a thing in black and Orange!! arrrggghhhhhhh

Dreaming in Crochet Patterns

It's true! People in my dreams are being represented by certain lines and dashes, with a key for reference. Thought it best I take a break from it and come here, before I start talking in "Crochet Pattern" ~ "triple crochet for 2 then chain 3" 0_o


Going back ~~~~~~~

Birthday

Princess' birthday she was as pleased as punch with her Lovely Cake, of which I confess to ordering and not making.

Cat Cake

Crochet

With a few "eureka!" moments I managed to get to grips with Crochet and pattern reading on a basic level. I am enjoying it albeit at a "retro" level as opposed to contemporary but it will come! along with inspiration, I hope!

The Square needs to be fixed but I don't have enough pins for pining at the moment!
