At the end of their play outside Smithy and I got ready for a lovely nap!! 
My Christmas present from my mum will be very useful for school work and general crafting!! I was very pleased. :) 
I hope you have all had a super Christmas and have a happy new year!!
With this song I would like to wish you all a fantastic Christmas and New Year. 
Thank you Yiota for setting up this fab christmas party :P

I wish she was still a Puppy!!!
After seeing Paper and String's lovely felt Christmas chains, this is our crocheted version using left over wool! 
Christmas is a lovely time and I can't wait!! Hope you are all well and feeling Christmasy too :)
Wonderfully wrapped!!! 
All the lovely goodies inside. 
This notebook has the most beautiful paintings of the flora and fauna of Greece. So so interesting and gorgeous!! I don't even want to write in it!!!!! 
And the lovely Ribbon and Christmas goodie!!! 
Lovely, a lot of work to prepare the pastry and surprisingly the centre took a mere 5 minutes to make!!!!
After all that excitement I decided to make a necklace. I always like to try out different ideas and this one turned out OK :) 
I was handed an earring request, due to a well liked earring being lost. So I began to replicate it!
On the left is the original, the right are the replicas in a different colour. 
To finish off with, my little creation of fun!! 
Fortunately I had something I was saving for a day like this. (the reason for the title) A family friend invited us over as 'guinea pigs' for her handmade Etui lessons, it was brilliant. My mum and I chose the material and followed instructions and the result (I think anyway) is great.
I managed to find some on ETSY, they look good.
First and second page, on the left are two of the artists (Gina Mikel) paintings and next to them a copy of a certain part of them. On the right there is info on the artist with some decorative tissue paper around it.
Third and forth pages. On the left two more printouts of her work with written analysis and a copy on the right in watercolours with another written analysis. 
Fifth and sixth pages, on the left a flap with info underneath and on top foam writing (saying Graphite and Ink) with sponged paint on and ink around the lettering. Underneath there is a print out of a graphite and ink drawing and next to that is a leaf from the garden and a watercolour painting of it just below. (unfortunately the leaf has gone a bit brown :0 ) On the right there is the same picture as on the left but cut in half and the right side of it is drawn in pencil and Indian ink by me.
Well that is all for today's post, hope you liked it :)
I'm not one for spiders really but its all for nature :)
I also made something new - A pouch to carry your keys in - It goes around your neck and as you pull the ribbon it pulls the keys into it. Take a look. 
I did a Halloween themed one with some new neon orange thread, which worked very well I think.
Well that's all for today, hope everyone has a nice week
Around I ran trying to catch it, it went under my bed behind the curtains everywhere!! Finally i caught it, it turned out to be a juvenile blue tit! The only way it must have gotten into my room was via my window which wasn't open very wide.... odd!! 
Hope everyone has had a nice week
Not the greatest pic. :(
I did this for summer camp at my mums school as an example. 
A family friend took me to one of these places where you get to paint pottery, sooo fun!! heh.
My mum made this pillow for me a long time ago in what was my fav colours :)
A Totem pole, the story is i used to love art attack and saw this in one of the books i loved and decided to make :) 
Just a Hama bead creation really. :P have a nice weekend Lucy x
