Matt also rustled up an apple crumble with some apples that were slightly past their best and wrinkly! He uses weetabix in the topping too so it is extra yummy!
As you can see we all thought it was delicious!
The girls looking cute - sorry I couldn't resist posting this photo!
He is a custom order pincushion/paperweight for a very lovely lady and her daughter - the fabric they chose is ace and is one that has been in my stash for a while!
The rest of my day (in between hoovering, cleaning, sorting washing etc) will be to get these cheeky chappies listed in my various shops! The fabrics I've used in these comes from Lu Summers and is hand printed and fabulous to work with.
Soup bowls - I love the deep blue colour. I actually got 5 of these.
Pink cute Arthur Wood vase/urn thingy!
A chicken - no more needs to be said :) Although Anya did confuse a lady when the lady said 'Of course you don't get green chickens' and Anya replied 'Well my Mummy makes green chickens!' The lady did look confused!
A gorgeous pale pink and turquoise Poole pottery teapot.
Some little bits and bobs for the what nots in my craft room.
A fabulous dish - not sure if it is ovenproof but I will find out later this week :)
A fabulous flask - love the little spout :) I have to check to see that it works before taking it to craft fairs with yummy fruity tea in it.
Apparently Matt said no very loudly when I picked this board up but I didn't hear him - lalalala! It has been used as a paintbrush resting place so it's not going to be used for chopping here but I have the perfect place in my kitchen to hang it instead.
A cute house cross stitch for the craft room.
Some funky ties to craft with.
A fab pvc shopping bag.
Some black shoes that remind me of tap shoes although they don't tap. These were 50p on half price Friday.
Some fab red patent shoes :)
Some comfy red shoes!
Some white ballet shoes - not sure what for but I couldn't resist! 10p on half price Friday.
And a set of these 3 'school dinner' plates - one green, one red and one yellow. Minus the food obviously - this was Tara's lunch yesterday!
And these weren't from the sale but a birthday gift from my mum and dad! I'd spotted them in a charity shop before Christmas with my mum and she braved a nasty snowstorm to go back up and get them for me!! The patterns are fab :) More sale things once they have been washed and dried.
They look yummy but don't taste quite as yummy! I don't think I cooked them for long enough and maybe strawberries aren't meant to go into buns. The plate is from the jumble sale but from 2009.
This picture above is from the sale this year - a lovely watercolour painted in 1965. We have no idea where but it look like an Italian scene to me (having never been to Italy!)
This is my favourite bit - I would love to live in that house peeking over the tops of the trees to look down at the sea.
Love chick is entry number 1 :)
Haven't spotted him yet?
There he is! Just a little Disney themed fish joke. Feel free to ignore if you have no clue what I am rambling about :)
The said hanger with the fabric removed - the threads left behind make a very pleasing pattern - it's a bit tricky to see in the photograph but trust me it is pretty!
And actual ironing has taken place in my house today. Fabric ironing for crafty projects you understand and not the ironing you are supposed to do to your clothes!
Those little piles of fabric are destined to be made into pincushion chickens if I get off my backside and get sewing this afternoon - it's only 1pm here so there is hope yet :)
This chick can be found here (she has chosen a different agency to the other chicks!)
This flowery chick has decided to break away from her twin and go to a different agency.
And this brightly coloured chicken has decided that her fate lies with this agency.
A treat for me from Anya :) Made at school.
A card for all of us also made at school.
This message is the cutest! And I love her cursive writing (and the fact that school are teaching her to write cursively).
The collection of items I had for My Creative Space on the 4th Feb? Well this is what they were turned into!
Some rather cool (in my opinion!) recycled notebooks :) The top one has already sold but the bottom lady with her orange skirt is still available. She's not in a shop yet but will be soon :)
I also made this one for the same lady that ordered the first pattern notebook. It's made from reclaimed book covers and has reclaimed paper inside too. The book covers come from the charity shops I visit (one in particular) and I buy them because they are damaged in some way - some have damaged covers, some have missing pages etc. All parts of the books get used (if they aren't damaged) and I use the pages to make envelopes or gift tags and the covers become notebooks - waste not want not in this house! The reclaimed paper is from the scrapstore and can be plain paper that companies no longer need or headed paper if they have changed their details etc.
I crafted on the girls table and it was very nice sitting in the afternoon sun! Day 32 of Crafting 365.
However what I will be doing is tidying this little mess up in preparation for making some more envelopes later!
