The year in Review....

Well the year is drawing to a close, and what a year it has been! Working full time has stolen my creative time :(. Unfortunately it is the way of life isnt it.

I am about to be on leave for 6 weeks, and while putting my intentions "out there" never gains results I thought I would try one more time to make myself accountable LOL.

Over the next 6 weeks my plan is to destash and list excess stuff on my craftumi store and to consolodate all the stock I have made and have a clearance sale. Watch this space.

Cassie's Accessories

Formal time is upon us! These are the itmes I have made to go with Cassie's Awesome Orange Formal Dress! A pair of sparkly Errings and a Zipper Rose Hair clip

Wedding Gaff!

Here we have an amazing bouquet for Suzy's wedding. Yes, it is beige coloured fabic tape - also known as Gaff Tape!!

Gaff tape is the Force - Light on one side, dark on the other side and it holds the universe together!

An overdue update

Goodness me, how time flies! I have been working full time for the last year and have found that being creative has impinged on my ability to Blog as well!!!

Make something every day started off quite well... but petered out by Febuary (as all good new year resolutions do).

I have been making many amazing things. I think the best thing to do is give you a photo montage to update the things I have managed to acheive in the creative world.

Some chunky chain maille


Zipper Roses

Gaff tape Roses


Bouquets

1st Makes for this year.

Today's Makes were:

Fused sheets of plastic bags (bring on the year of upcycling!)
Gaff Tape rose
A "paper" flower made from fused sheets.


Very Cool if I do say so myself.

New Year - new creations

So, New Year's resolutions - MEH! I never keep them, I never remember them.... always best laid plans.

This year I have a new idea and I guess it would have to be called a resolution but I am just going to call it my 2010 plan of attack :)

I have decided that I am going to try and "make" something everyday, and try something new every week.

The rules are simple. It can be a whole or a part, it can be finishing or starting, it can be shared or on my own.

Some of my plans for this week are:
Make fabric out of plastic bags
Make a cake
Make something from my plastic fabric
Make something from my new cook book
Make a new friend.

So lets see how we go. I have made a start on the fabric... and it is much fun!
