A Fashion Tip

From the sweet middle one

Tweaks

I wasn't completely happy with my last LO, so I did some slight tweaking.  Still not completely happy but happier. Does neutral coloured straw count as a colour ( it is an aged vintage creamish colour)? cause that kicks me out of the challenge, but its a much better Lo now I also want to go back and ink the edges of the Josh one, but that is stuck down.

Ps the Journaling says - I still feel like her inside, and on the bottom of the torn paper scallop says my teenage self once upon a 1997

Trying something new

Last night whilst surfing, I can across this Blog - lets get shabby -  and decide to give this style ago. Its definitely something new for me, very soft and girly and floaty.  I found it hard to keep adding, as I noticed it is a very full style, while not being busy. I didn't realize how much I had already fallen into one style, until I did this. 

So here is my Challenge Three entry. 

  We could use white and/or cream and a hint of another colour. 

I love some of the little elements of the page. 

I raided parts of grandmothers sewing box, and used my punched paper lace doily flowers ( it took me forever to figure out  how to punch them with out the punch ripping right through them, thank goodness they come in such large lots!), with some aged cream flowers I found yesterday.

Late last night, after that i did some surfing though some entries  - Jaw dropping!!! I dont think mine can compete but it was good to try something new.

Got my scrap on!

I decided to do the Whats old is new again challenge. This is what I came up with. I used some of the August Happy Chappy kit, and some pieces from my stash that just happened to go well. 

I love this photo of Joshie. Its from kindergarten (2005) and he had done his athletics carnival that day.

I also might be waiting on some new kits from Whats old is new again, or I might not. Who am I kidding, I certainly am! Come on pizza box of goodies! The first kit set I ever brought was from them.

Sock it to me

Tyler had been wearing a sock he had picked up from the spare sock basket for a bit, pretending it was a puppet. 

Finally I took pity on the poor thing and after some quick magic from the medium one and I , we turned him in to a real Puppet. 

A few buttons, some funky yarn I had a the bottom of my stash, and some stick on velcro dots, makes a Mr potato head style puppet.  

He enjoys changing up the face and has requested some new looks for his new friend, and some new hair ( of course Ill hate doing that, getting new buttons, and finding different yarns ( hair is changeable as well), what a hardship!).  

Feeling guilty about the warn out grey old sock but he loves it!

By hook or By crook

Im feeling the need to get my crochet hooks out again, maybe ill finish the blanket or do my Mirabel softie, I just need to get it in my hands.
