Okay so I've missed a month of blogging because school has been so busy...this is going to be a full update with pleanty of lovely piccies to keep you all happy. Firstly, I have been hoarding stuff to paint up now that I have lost my painter's block...I have some cute red bags that i found in charity stores that I am decorating to sell (possibly)...
I have also been doing lots of work at school...I finally got my head around the weird lazer cutter and have tamed it into doing what I want...
These have just been finished today...I have some more coming but they will have to wait until after I go back to school on April 20th.
For Mothering Sunday I helped my Mum set up her own blog for her embroidery work...Thankfully Blogger is so easy to use...My Mum is one of my main inspirations for the work I do so please go check her work out, I have always loved it!
I just received agreat pack of freebee business cards in the post from VISTAPRINT.COM and am really pleased with how they look...I love VISTAPRINT because their service is so professional-looking!
Some more projects that started at school are my new sticker designs that I have put onto brown card ringbinder folders. The vinyl cutter is so easy to use and all the imagery is based in 2D design (which I am now a full whizz at using!) I have some more ideas too but they will have to wait for the term to start again.
I am contemplating buying myself one of these machines...I'm just not 100% sure if I'd use it enough to make it value for money???
Just a shot of the transfer tape used to put the vinyl onto the folders.
Aren't they cute? I can't wait to use them for something- dunno what yet?
These are more blanks for the lolly pen toppers I'm making over on http://www.kickass-peanut.com/, lots of painting to do here...I also managed to finish my make of the year 9 clock/frame/mirror project. I have taken over teaching this group now and feel better that I have finished the make for myself first. Some of the kids seemed to be impressed so I think I'm doing OK.
Now that I'm on friend terms with the laser cutter I managed to sort out the key ruler I wanted to make too....however this cutter isn't as sensitive as the one in my last school so I may have to pay them a visit...
Some other things I want to get done over the Easter break are my customised shirts...I finally got myself some of the gorgeous RRH fabric and can't wait to get started using it.
On a random note...how cute are these party bags from TESCO! I LOVE THEM! Great for making little gifts that bit more special- they look especially good tied with raffia and with brown paper labels.
Sticking with the spots...My collection of cute mushroom items for turning my bedroom into a woodland theme is slowly growing...I bought these little cuties in Conwy when we went to visit my sister a few weeks ago. The plastic mushroom is a night light!!!
I have also gotten some amazing swaps recently (despite being on a swapping break due to a hectic schedule) These have absolutely made my month!!! Look at this RRH matchbox I received!
And another swap partner bought me this phone charm as part of a one week profile bliss swap, she also handmade a RRH tin that is GORGEOUS!
There were also some cute Alice in Wonderland covered buttons...I HAVE to find something nice to put them on!
My new arm warmers that I bought in Hereford the other week when I let my partner drive me there to see family...I hadn't had chance to wear them until this week when we went for a drive to some local castles and Tenby.
We just missed the last entry to carew Castle...I haven't been in here since I was in Primary school so we are definately going to go back soon!
When we got home I started planting my seeds...I'm determined to ressurect my poorly vegetable and herb garden so used my numerous egg cases to plant seeds indoors (avoiding the tempermental weather)
Then somebody decided to help me...
Isn't he turning into a little stunner! I think he's a bit of a poser whenever I get the camera out!

*PHEW* so that's the update so far......I have more to add but I will wait until I finish those red bags off and the RRH items that I'm working on.
