I know 2 posts ago I stated that I was back but I’m afraid I very much am not! Days after we got my OH’s charger back, I decided to do a quick update on my comp and it has now decided to die on me:( I have no idea why, it was just a itunes update and now when you turn it on it doesn’t load the dock or my desktop files or my taskbar at the top… Getting a friend to take a look asap but obv since it’s x-mas it’s all a bit inconvenient.

ARRRRGGGHHHH!!!!

There’s that’s a bit better. I got some absolutely amazing presents and had a lovely christmas but since I am sneaking uses of my OH’s comp I don’t have access to any of my photos, tools or bookmarks in order to make and post things on here so please bear with me while I sort out this stupid problem.

Thank you and in the mean time ‘Happy Christmas and have a wonderful New Year!’

Getting really into paper crafts atm and my lovely friend Maddy of yahyamadeit showed me this fantastic website that has a load of little creations and you just click on them and you get the downloadable template to print and make yourself!:D It’s wonderful, I made this one the other day:

Isn’t is adorable!:D I wana make em all but I’m sure my printer ink wouldn’t like it, haha. I also made a mini DS Lite from here which is cute too but very very fiddley!

It has working hinges too so you can open it up:

Not to mention the teeny tiny Nintendogs catridge that you can actually put into the slot!!:o

I’m sure I will be doing alot more of this paper craft stuff, I would really love to do some scrapbooking but not really sure where to start!

Did you miss me? It’s been over a month but we are finally pretty much settled into our new house, the virgin man only came a couple of weeks ago tho so we have had to use this shitty dongle that died about a week before the internet arrived:( Then when we finally did get the internet, Aaron left his charger in Bristol when he was DJing there and my one happened to pack up at the same time!

So now we have Aaron’s one back from Bristol but mine is dead and until I get payed on the 22nd I won’t be able to afford a new one, playing swapsey when one of our comp’s start to die, lol.

Anyway in respect to crafting I have obviously been trying to get the office up to scratch and bought some new shelves and boxes to put my stuffs in but I have concluded that I still have too much stuff! haha. I have been doing a little bit of crafting tho like this advent calender I made for my OH’s mum as she didn’t have one this year.

She absolutely loved it and text me the next day saying ‘I have turned over the calender today and it is a christmas tree, I love it, thank you so much!’ I will post some more pics of the individual pages at some point too as I am quite impressed with myself, a sort of mixture between digital scrapbooking and normal scrapbooking.

I have also created some little boxes with personal designs on them for xmas presents for my family but I won’t show them just yet as they may read this, I can’t wait to show them though! What I will show you instead is my front room and x-mas tree I put up on the 1st of December like the organised lady I am, haha.

So pretty:) I will hopefully now be able to craft and post a lot more so look out for some exciting new stuffs over xmas and into the new year!

I have a slight obsession with Lego and have a whole bottom draw in my craft area filled with the stuff. I have made some of these 4×4 blocks into awesome colourful earrings which are currently in my Etsy shop if anyone’s interested in buying some.

I thought that today I would research the net for some other crafty Lego projects that inspire me, here are the ones I particularly liked:

1. Lego Sofa
2. 21 Movie Posters in Lego
3. Mini Lego Nintendo
4. 12 Lego Cakes
5. Making a Lego business card
6. Life sized Lego man
7. How to make a Lego gift bag
8. Motorised Lego yarn winder
9. Melted Lego lamp shade

And we can’t post about Lego without referring to the awesome official Lego factory digital designer which is just hours of fun!

I quite enjoy making yummy cakes and always try and take pics of my ‘creations’ so thought I would share these today. I have a ton of cookbooks too and a massive sweet tooth! If anyone has any scrummy recipies then please let me know, I would be more than happy to give it a try and blog about it linking to your site also.

First batch of diddy cakes I made for my friends little boys naming day. We were supposed to bring one cupcake each and then eat someone else’s. Fantastic idea but I got a bit carried away with making the tiny ones. Even had enough batter left over for another big 2 layered cake!

Second batch of diddy cakes made because I had some tiny cake cases left! I wrote KMB and K which stands for Kiss My Bass, my OH’s night/label he runs with some friends here in Portsmouth.

Rocky Road with biscuits and raisins and Blueberry ‘Cheesecake’ made for my last day made for my last day at Priceless Shoes.

Lemon Drizzle Cake with Blueberry topping

In case anyone was wondering or particularly nosy here are some pics of my lovely new house I will be moving into on the 2nd of November:

1. Cute little low maintenance garden
2. Dining area, we will be able to sit and eat at the table for once
3. The nicest kitchen ever! Favorite bit of the house for me
4. A non skanky bathroom, tiny but perfectly formed
5. view of front window in the lounge
6. view of fireplace in the lounge
7. Bedroom that can fit out king size bed
8. Second bedroom but we are making it the office
9. stairs to be carpeted

The stats are 2 bed mid terrace house, GCH, DG, kitchen with gas hob, electric oven, fridge freezer and washing machine, central location to shops, town and railway, £650pcm and shingled garden with outdoor table and chairs, bbq and shed included. It’s not massive but it’s perfect for us. I am very excited but also a bit disheartened and demotivated that I have to live in my current mouldy, rat and pest ridden, waterlogged hole in the ceiling, flat for 2 more weeks before we move, hopefully it will go fast.

I have actually fallen in love with an artists who makes the most amazing but simple creations out of just wire and objects around the house. His name is Terry and he is from Indianapolis, Indiana, United States. If you haven’t already seen his work check out this video of his latest book which includes the things that didn’t even get in the book! There are some crazy imaginative things in there, I wish I could of thought of it, his blog is here also.

Apparently there is a new thing on flickr where you can put together your own gallery with other peoples pictures in (slightly different to a flickr group i’m told) and guess what? My Scottish Hieland Coo’s cross stitch bookmark has been featured in starynight1’s gallery of Cross stitch bookmarks of course!

There’s some really awesome ones in there too, it has made me want to do more cross stitch’s and I’m going to start with an old school Nintendo controller from The Domestic Scientist

Quick late night project while watching my favourite program CSI, Origami Kusudama Flower
