Just sneaking in with Oldie for Friday......................

an apron made in the project class I used to attend..............................

just a waist band 'pinny' not the full monty like granny used to wear.....................

 

some stitching and some stamping......................

 

finished this part (the waistband) at home...........................

I was always one of the slowest in the class.............................

the stitching down each side of the apron.......................


I actually loved making this, partly because it was something that I would never have attempted at home and also because I hadn't made anything using a sewing machine for more years that I care to remember..................

Something a little different and again down to the expert tuition of Julie Atkinson who used to test us, as a class on a regular basis and we always rose to the challenge even when initially some of thought we can't possibly do this...................................

just shows!!

Wishing everyone a lovely weekend whatever you are up to.

Something a bit prettier..............................

I have recently been showing projects that I have made in classes from a few years ago and then some steam punky stuff which I know is not everyone's 'cup of tea' so here is something a little prettier..............

 

love this colour combo as it reminds me of summer................................

 

I was lucky enough to have a set of CE Dazzlers that matched the ink used perfectly..................

 

I love this Crealie die and have used it so much but typically it is one of the things I can't find in my boxed up crafty stuff!!....................

 

I have made this card in a variety of colours for different work colleagues and will show some more in the future...................

Ingredients used:-
for the aqua card

SW Rambling Blossom EF
Archival Ink in Aquamarine
Crealie Daisy Die
CE Dazzler
SW Delicate Fronds
SW Faux Quilled Leaves
SW Pine Bough
SB Back to Basics Tag Die
Whimsy Sentiment Stamp

I hope you like...................

Have a wonderful weekend whatever you are doing................

Something a bit different...........................

after showing some of the projects that I have made in class over the last few years - Oldie for Friday, I thought it was about time I showed you something newer...............

I feel that it has been a bit of a 'cop out' on my part showing all the older stuff, but as most of my crafty stash is still in boxes (do I really want to get it out and then pack it away again when we decorate)?? NO..........................

I know I have shown you something similar to this but I did adapt it slightly and this is the card I made for our Son in March this year....................

  

I stamped the card blank with Versamark and embossed with gold emboss powder for this one to make it a little different to the previous male ones I have made........................

I just love trying to match the cogs so they look as they interlock, it is quite therapeutic...............

Ingredients used:-

Indigo Blu 'Yorkshire Dales' Gilding Flakes

Crafters Workshop Mini Gears Mask

CE Micro Beads

Sam Poole - Steam Punk Dreams Stamp (background gears)

SB Sprightly Sprockets

Sheena Douglas Festive E/F (for texture on the cogs)

Inka Gold Wax

LOTV Sentiment Stamp

Justrite Family Stamp

I hope you like.............

I will be back with another Oldie for Friday (hopefully on Friday) lol.......................if you are a regular you will know what I mean.....................
