Well .what a bad blogger I am ..it's nearly a month since I last posted But I have to say it has been an exceedingly busy few weeks, and quite productive at that !
Cats came & went like all good shows do, ATC & Tag swaps have been completed and sent off, Business is good one way and another so all in all lifes pretty hectic right now.
Have just completed 'On angels wings' ATC swap via UKS, & also a vintage lingerie Tag swap so looking forward to those all coming back !
Jewellery making has been quiet recently with very little time to get on with any projects, But with my holiday looming I have packed up jewellery making supplies, scrapping stuff etc ... perfect time to catch up on some of these things I feel !

WEll the scenery is about completed, it is in situe & looks ok (i think) ...
Still got the odd fish bone thingy to make & the moon for the night sky .. other than that it;s job done (i hope)
The performances are next week, & I'm helping with the face painting, am busy making sketches of the different character cats & we're having a dress rehearsal run through on Monday next week (2nd July) so we can have a practise & then there are 3 performances later on in the week.

Got quite a few jobs on the go, managed to finish the mini book for my daughter & the design team plus a couple of 12 x 12 LO's .. will post pictures when I get time.
Still need to do a couple more design team items .. must get my thinking cap on for those

Been too busy to play much this week, had to help in school making 63 Cat Headresses for the up & coming production (guess what it is !)
Today I spent 3 hours sewing up two complete costumes for my oldest two kids ... I'm now covered in Fur & am doing a good impression of a cat myself (Purrrrr) :)
Have still got all the scenery to do for the show ... should get on with it this week, but work has been very busy & we have also just spent a lovely weekend in the Cotswolds So got even less done than I should have ! .... oh well :)
Am going to a crop on Thursday night so will endeavour to finish the mini book I am making for my daughter with my latest Ribbon Oasis Design Team Kit .. something else that needs to be done to !
Unsure what tomorrow holds as of yet .... know I'm seeing my best friend in the sfternoon though .. Oh dear even more time taken up doing not alot ! .. ah well friends are more important than scenery (hope school understand that :) )

Blimey we're into June & what a gorgeous day it is here today :)
Been busy with work and 1/2 term, plus the plotting and planning of two of my childrens birthdays and subsequent parties.
My daughter is having a make-over/sleepover party so have bought some nail art varnishes & have been playing with designs .. it's great except only my left hand is painted at the moment ... not sure I can do my own right hand with the same designs on lol :)
Have recieved my charm swaps back ... some very interesting work (& lovely I might add) some of them I'm not sure just 'how' they have done it , very clever ! Am going to put them together to make a bag charm or something similar, I will post a picture when I've sorted them out :)

I need to buy some utee ! having recently seen some fantastic work by a fellow uks I NEED some .... must go out & get some asap !

I also am in need of MORE shrink plastic .. this really is addictive :)

I need more ...'Shrink-plastic' that is ! I bought some yesterday off the previously mentioned Market stall & it is such fabulous stuff !!!
If you've never tried it you need to ..it's like magic ! ..stamp an image on using stazon ink ..& then trim to the shape you want & heat it with the heat gun (or you can put it in the oven ... & voila a 'shrunk' image on a little chunky piece of plastic .. But it's not just the end result that's sooo nice, it's the way it shrinks too ! ..my kids think it's amazing :) (so do I) ..it literally melts & all curls up on itself & you can't for one minute imagine it turning out ok .. but then a few seconds later it rights itself & it goes flat & 'is cooked' :)
I shall post a picture in a few minutes of the Charms that I have just made for the swap. (hope they're ok ..never done anything like this before !)

Called in at WHS today and discovered a fairly new Bead magazine ..called 'Bead' (oddly enough) .. I have to say I really like it ..there's some fab new techniques I NEED to have a go at & I daresay I will proabably have to go buy more beads and bits to do them ..what a shame ;)
Did get the ironing done yesterday & even more impressively tea is in the oven already today ! ..so now I need to clear my desk off so I can PLAY ! :)

Hmmmm ... The housework is finally catching up with me ..just about to embark on an hour or so's ironing & then really my office/craft space shoukd be tidied again ..it still hasn't recovered from the cyber crop of a couple of weeks ago !
So we shall see later ..what I achieve today or whether i deviate completely & go make something instead :)
