Jack Glass Blowing and Special Gifts

We have had a wonderful day out today, you may remember me visiting the Sunderland Glass Center as I wrote a post on it. We took Jack and his Mam Lauren along with us today and it was very special, Jack even got the chance to try his hand at glass blowing. (see video at end of my post)

We also had a little tour and Chris’s Friend gave both Jack and myself a beautiful hand crafted gift each.

This one is mine.

and this one is Jacks

Dave makes these to sell and they cost £20.00 but all are unique and would make beautiful gifts, just let me know if you would like to purchase one and I will pass your details on to Dave.

Mine actually holds 16floz that is 3/4 of a pint.

Handles can be made in many colours one of which I saw was a gorgeous pink.

here is the video of our Grandson Jack blowing the glass.

Mammas Dress

Some things just take you back to your childhood don’t they?

This dress does it for me, my Mam used to make most of her dresses and this would totally have been her style.

Made using the Hunkydory Glitter Glaze card and one of the Creative Crafting World big base cards.

A few pretty paper blossoms from Orchid Crafts

Coloured with Alcohol markers.

An evening with Jack

We had a card making evening, Jack informs me that he loves to craft and that he saves bottles and toilet roll cardboard to craft with but his Mam is very naughty and keeps throwing it out ha ha! his mam informs me that he hides them in his bed and then they spill over onto the floor and his bedroom is like a pigsty.

Somehow I believe his Mam but one thing is for sure, he has a flare for crafting and loves it when we craft together.

The Hunkydory Magazine from Create and Craft had not one but two paper crafting packs free with it and Jack fell in love with this set.

He added all of the foam pads did all of the gluing, added dew drops to look like bubbles in the sea, button and bow, all I did was cut down the background card and tied the bow.

He even added an insert from the Little Book of Poetry and then wrote out the card.

Oh and yes, a button did find its way into his trouser pocket.

I think we should all encourage our children to craft, the sense of achievement is immense.

Jack now has his own crafting box with loads of bits in to craft with.

Little Pearl Dress

I thought I’d squeeze this one in, I am driving down to Peterborough tomorrow ready for shows on Create and Craft Friday 24th April at 10am and 4pm with Hunkydory. I’ve been busy busy prepping for the shows and I know I have some amazing deals on there so don’t miss it.

I want to show you some ways of using the fabulous little books and here is a sneaky peek.

I’m planning to squeeze into something like this for my Daughters wedding in 2016, well that is the plan.

I’m on first at 10am with Leoni so I think we will make a couple of these to show you how.

New Beginnings With Hunkydory

I can finally reveal that I will be doing some work with Hunkydory, we all know what amazing quality their paper craft is and when they ask if i could do some TV shows for them I was delighted. I’ve been playing with A Little Book of….. and some of the Adorable Scorable.

This card was made using A little Book of Flowers and The Second Book of Poetry.

A double twist easel card with a straight easel center.

Such pretty designs

and such beautiful poetry.
