Something for my son!

Hi Friends,

Just a quick stop to show you my latest project I made for my son. He loves Minecraft as a lot of kids and adults do!

I've been wanting to make him a cushion for his bed and decided to buy all the bits and put it together when I found a free moment. I don't sew so the cushion cover (which I think is a perfect colour match) and cushion inner were purchased from Ikea. I had some black HTV at home already so all I needed to do was create the 'Creeper' face and decide on the layout and size.

To save on vinyl (which is costly to waste) I ended up cutting each face individually instead of on one big sheet and just eyeballed it when I ironed them onto the cover. It was pretty easy to lay them out - I started at the top, then matched the bottom three, then the middle three and then I filled in the row of two's.

Now it's back to creating my festive teacher gifts!

Thank you for visiting!

Happy Crafting!

Dirty, Clean or Busy!

Hi everyone!

Often I get asked by my hubby if the dishwasher is dirty or clean* ... some times one day rolls into the next for me and I can't remember if I've stacked it or cleared it so instead of my usual comment of 'I don't know - have a look' I decided to make a dishwasher magnet:

I used the usual Dirty and Clean wording and included the Busy side too as 'someone'* has opened it mid cycle a few times ;-)

I designed the template for the final product, chose some patterns that are standard in the Silhouette software, played around with their size and angle and used a stencil font.

I printed it on glossy paper and printed a few more layers to make it less flimsy and attached 3 flat magnets.

I love the way it turned out and so far it's doing a good job!

{Photos not the greatest as there was too much glare from the dishwasher door}

FYI - Hubby loves it ... phew!

Happy Crafting!!

Ready Set Go ... !!!

Hello friends

It has been too quiet on my side for a little while and I'm looking forward to jumping back into the action and creating beautiful projects to share with you.

My family and I recently moved into a new home and the last few months have been 'topsy-turvy' - I have been packing/unpacking, purging and sweating!

But it's been worth it ... we are settled into our new home, still boxes to unpack while I find a place for all our possessions - but Oh My Goodness I have my own CRAFT SPACE and I'm over excited!!! 

My son is happy with his new room ... always a relief for a parent! Our neighbourhood has less traffic and there are more kids around. We will miss our lovely neighbours but we know where they live! And they sell awesome goodies at their store so I'll be visiting them there too.

I'm deciding on my next few projects ... so look out for me soon.

Until another day,
Vicki :-)
