Fairy good times!

Today is manic for me...have so much to do & not much time to do it....I think I will most definitely be burning the midnight oil tonight.
On a happy note I have some pictures to share with you all today....
Here are some of the new crafty makes I have been working on. I have been wanting to make these for ages but never quite got around to it. I am quite pleased with the way they have turned out....I do have  more but they are still under construction & need to be finished.
That goes for the fairy doors to.

Exciting times

Apologies for the lack of new posts on here....I have been soo busy I just haven't had time....(honest truth....I forgot all about my blog....my bad).
I am busy working on a few new projects, which I am really exited about.... something completely new....well new for me anyway. Have been waiting to have a go at these for ages but I am not going to say anymore until I have finished them & I can share some pictures with you all.

Apart from the new stuff I am still beavering away with all the Super hero goodies & Nic & I are busy prepping for upcoming Christmas fairs & our reguluar fortnightly stint at the Mack.
So much to do, but Nic has half term coming up so we can hopefully get lots done.

Last sunday I did the Vintage fair & had a blast met lots of lovely people...
Nic couldn't come as it was her sons birthday so I was flying Solo. I missed out on all the lindy hop & fashion shows as I was just too busy to leave the stall.

Lots of the steampunk & vintage style makes went to new homes & we have had lots of interest for more of the same.
I just don't have the time to take on commissions for the steampunk stuff at the moment.
I only really do one off makes, mostly to suit myself, but maybe in the new year I will design something new.

Seeing as I have nothing new to share tonight I will just add a rather fetching picture of Nic & I at the Mack last Saturday, if the wind had changed I would have been screwed lol...
Until next time....catch ya later special Llama's.

Insomnia is wrecking me!

I just can't sleep!.......
In the last 3 weeks I would say I have slept a total of 26hrs. I am running on auto pilot. The lack of beauty sleep is really starting to take its toll. I will need to employ a porter soon to carry my under eye bags around all day.
It is now nearly 2am....I have to be up at 6.
I am wide awake.
My eyes are swollen, bloodshot & dry as a bone.
Moaning about it helps though.

Crafting was hard work today. I have alot to get done this week. Lots of orders & prepping for the Vintage fayre I am doing next Sunday.
I don't have alot of spare time this week....tomorrow ( or rather today) I am looking after Nics son, Tues shopping & taking my mum out, Weds delivering orders & catching up on the washing & housework etc...
If my insomnia lasts the week I can craft through to the early hours (with the aid of eye drops).

Anyway enough of me rambling on.....The picture I am sharing tonight is of some girly makes...letters, cards canvases etc.
Will share more soon.
Until then.....catch ya later special Llamas

A little fairy magic

I keep forgetting to update this blog! I am such a bad blogger....
Insomnia has been my companion over the last few weeks so my head has well & truly been in the shed. I have been on auto pilot getting through my days, & crafting or reading through the night.

Tonight I am sharing some new fairy doors I have been making.....the only reason these came about is due to the lack of sleep....I was fed up with doing the letters & other bits ready for the craft fayres & wanted to do something different. For my first attempt am quite pleased.
They are a bit quirky....I like the distressed look of them & prefer them this way.
I cut them out myself ( at 2 in the morning!), using a handsaw.
By 8am they were all finished! (I made 5 in total).
I've put these 3 up on facebook to see if anyone wants them....the others I will give away as Christmas gifts.
If there is enough demand I will make more....I've also made up some little fairy dust bottles to go with them.

It is now 1am & I am sat finishing off a whole load of letters ready for the weekend. I actually feel like I could sleep tonight so am off to wash the paint & glue off & head on up to bed.
I just thought I had better get something on here as it's been a while.
So until next time.....catch ya later Special Llama's.

Happy Mail!!!!!!!!!

Look what goodies the postman delivered today! Lots of Inkylicious stamps!
Love thier stamps. Great quality & they have a large selection of quotes & sentiments to choose from.
Looking forward to getting crafty with these.

I haven't had any crafty time over the past week which has killed me.
Our washing machine has been knacked for the past 10 days which has thrown this house into chaos. The panasonic engineer couldn't get to us last week due to the nato road closures.....(so he said),  so I have had to rely on family & the bagwash to get the washing done. Time consuming & alot of hassle.

Hopefully I can squeeze in a little creative happiness over the next few days.
We are back at Roath Craft Market on Saturday.....looking forward to it.
If you live in Cardiff pop over to our facebook page (tab at top) to see our craft fayre offer.....
Until next time catch ya later Special Llama's.

Crafting overdrive!

What a very busy crafter I have been this week. Lots of makes ready for a craft fayre this Saturday & some birthday goodies for my niece who turns 16 on Saturday.
These are are just a few of the makes I have finished....(well the only ones I've photographed so far).

I have made so much in the past week my brain is in craft melt down. Am sick of the sight of bloody sandpaper lol....gone through a full pot of matt multi medium & blue chalk paint & 3 rolls of double sided tape!
Tomorrow there is no time to craft time....I have to clean up all the mess I have made & catch up on all the housework 😢.

Until next time.....catch ya later special Llama's.

Pop up A4 box card

I was asked to make a first birthday card for a friends little girl....she wanted vintage lace & pearls....
Something pretty & OTT.
This is what I have done so far.....I may add sticks & bunting to the back to give more height & possibly add the name.
Not quite sure yet.
I think there is something not quite right about it.....but I am never happy with alot of cards I make lol....
