Giant Amazonian Water Lily.
Very excited that http://www.britishcouncil.org/ want to use this image in one of their publications. No fee for it, but I will get credited and may even get a copy should my pic be included in the final publication. :)

Owl
Card for me to send my brother.
New design - Circular easel card.
Owl assembled from "Woodland Folk" die. (Made by Do Crafts.)
Am going to have to design a sticker for the back of these cards, I thought it was easy to work out how they stood up, but it seems not. :/
Really pleased with my owl die, I have all four so I'm keen to try the others! Love this set by Do Crafts...

Finally!
Finished uploading all my card pictures from 2010! Have resolved to upload atleast once a week this year, and blog them too.
I think this is my favourite card from 2010. Very simple and I started with a beautiful paper and a beautiful ribbon.
The paper is manufactured by Scenic Route, and its called "Laurel - Baywood Lane".

The ribbon is from an Anna Griffin ribbon collection.

My table in Shifnal!
This was my third attempt at a craft stall, once again in Shifnal, but this time the christmas fair.
I didnt spot the sellotape, my first customer passed it to me, oops.

Kitty care package
Sent this package to Maria for her kitties to enjoy :) They went down well! Sold completely out of catnip toys, have to start a new batch for the easter fair!
Chunky Bracelets
Some of the jewellery I made after visiting the Birmingham Bead shop in the Custard Factory. It's a really cool shop, full of lots of the beads that you just cant get elsewhere, and very much things on trend and in fashion. Worth a visit if you are in the vicinity, there is a car park very near to it!

Su and my tables at the craft fairs.
Photo from the October craft fair in Shifnal 2010. This was our second go at setting up a stall! We needed an extra table just to show the tiles, no offers tho, so they didnt pay their way!
