So for Day 2 I was going to make a tape cassette into a purse a la Chezlin I had everything ready, tape pulled apart, zipper, felt and it was even a see through one which would of been awesome… but I don’t have the right glue:( Need some super strong glue which I don’t have unfortunately.

So instead, as I cannot let my CADetteS down, I decided to be resourceful and use the tape that came out of the cassettes and take some picture of it using my new light box. Not as good as I had wanted them to be because the light source I am using isn’t bright enough but good enough for a crafty effort. What I really wanted is a consistent white background but as you can see it’s slightly darker in the corners and edges, still a lot to learn yet tho:)

So here ya go:

O and I also completed my second Coo on my cross stitch but I won’t post that til I’ve completed it, gona go finish him now me thinks!

I am so so pleased with the amount of responses I have had for CADS, makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside that people want to take part. I obviously have a lot of thanks to give to Heather at Dollar Store Crafts for posting about it and generating people to my blog and the project so Thank You heather:)

I have added everyone who has responded to the new blogroll for CADS which I have, I think quite cleverly, called CADetteS,! I will also try and get around to all your blogs every day if poss to find out how your getting on, but don’t worry I won’t be mad if you haven’t managed it:)

In other news I had a business meeting today with Business Link, a free service for new and starting up businesses. They have helped me so much and given a ton of good information and contacts. This means that I have still to create my second day craft but bear with me, I will be doing it as soon as I hit publish on this post!

So for now welcome new CADetteS and get crafting in September!

For the first day of my CADS project I have done a third of my cross stitch that my mum bought for me on her holiday. It’s of 3 Scottish Highland Coos, my favourite animal is a cow, and I have now completed the first Coo.

The last time I cross stiched was when I was 12/13 during the summer school me and my sister attended. It was a clown and I remember feeling really relaxed while sitting there chatting and cross stitching:)

So anywhere here is the first Coo:

Since I did so poorly in the Make Something Cool Everyday in April task I thought I would start my own for the month of September and see how I get on. It should be a lot easier now because I am really getting into this blogging malarkey and I have loads of free time.

Come join me in my task! There are no rules as such so your craft could be anything from knitting to photography to a painting or even a piece of poetry! Leave a comment below if your taking part and I will add you the the ‘cads’ blog roll. I will be keeping track of all fellow Cads attendees closely and will update the list when we get new people involved. You can join at anytime, don’t worry if your a few days or months in, everyone is welcome and don’t worry if you miss a day or a week or something, I won’t tell you off!

Really looking forward to this, it will be a good motivational method for me and hopefully inspire some fellow crafty bloggers. Here is a couple of badges to put on your blog to let everyone know that you are partaking in it, make sure it links back to this post and Happy Crafting!
