My new craft room

On a Saturday evening I got this great idea: Wouldn't it be nice to make the messae board I had planned? In a matter of 1½ hours I had glued, hammered and cut and the result was my new lovely message board. I am so in love with it!
Mike and Samuel was both in bed and the house was so quiet. And I was sitting looking at my fabric which was in chaos more or less all over the room. And so I got another idea: Wouldn't it be nice to colorcoordinate my fabric - and while I am at it just reorganize the entire craft room? Brilliant idea! And I love the result.
But why did I think it was a good idea to start a major project like that late in the evening, the day before you have 8 guests over for lunch? It doesn't make any sense? Sometimes I wonder whether my body and my brain are communicating at all! I went to bed around midnight, totally exhausted and not finished with the organizing. I had tried to get some fabric up on a cubboard but almost tripped off the chair I was standing on, so I gave up and went to bed. Next morning, while making porridge and getting ready for church I finished up in the craft room. After church my dad, Conni and two of the kids came over and at 4 the missionaries came too. They had a nice meal and everyone was talking excitedly - apart from me who was half asleep in the beanbag! I cannot recommend this to anyone. But then again I am not sure it would have been better to do it another time. Isn't there always something coming up?

Anyhow, I got the frame for the message board at an antique store and the actual board from a DIY store. The fabric was some old bedlinnen that doesn't fit our bed:



And the message board in use:



And all the nice fabric. I just love how it's easier to find things now. And I feel so much more creative!

Monkey prints

I got this cool stamp for textile printing! I think it is so cute and I just love it for Samuels things. Now, if only I had more t-shirts and bodystockings without any print on ...
I also got two cool new crafting books from the "Tilda" series. They are done by a Norwegian crafty woman, Tone Finnager, and I love most of her things. So far I have made this little teddybear during one of Samuels naps and I've also made a little bag for cosmetics using the patterns in the book. I love my new books! A Lot! One was a birthday gift from my dad and Conni and the other one was in preparation for the christmas decorating in our house. Yeah, I really wanted it and I was ready to justify it in any way.

Stamps galore

Hello guys

Welcome to the SALE! Miss Anne has emptied her drawers and are looking to get rid of some of her supplies. It is a super deal! Look through it and see what you would like. Write it down and send me or Anne a mail with the list. Some of the things are limited, so first come first serve. If the item is sold out, Anne will notify you.

Just to give you a feeling of how much you are saving we also wrote the original price. Notice that even the original price is cheaper than Panduro!

The stamps are mainly from a Swedish company called October Stamps which makes amazingly good stamps. The image is sharp and clear, they clean up easily and they very seldomly need to be trimmed. Super quality!

the price is in Danish Kroner and it always a piece, unless otherwise specified!

Happy shopping ; )

stamps

The price is a piece apart from the two sets (with the hearts and the circles and dots)

Colours ...

Chalk colours! There are two ordinary ones and one with glitter (C). The price is for a palette with 9 different colours in.
Stamp pens - use them to colour the stamp or to emboss certain parts of the stamped image. Notice the super deal if you buy a package!!
Stamp pads - what would we do without them? The one in a black package (E4) is transparent and creates a cool "shadowy" image, sort of a watermark. So cool!

Embossing ... yummy

One of my favorites - embossing!
Chunky enamel; 60 grams. It will go a long way. This is such a fabolous thing that enables you to create your own embellishments. It is too cool! As far as I know this is the only place you can get it in Denmark (please correct me if I am wrong!?!)
Ordinary embossing powder. Clear and black - kinda goes with out any explanation! And copper (no glitter) and then the lovely silver, gold and turqouise with lots and lots of sparkle! The turquise is clear but have a nice bluish sparkle to it.
And finally a heat gun; has a plug that fits the Danish sockets.

Decorations

Lovely lovely flowers. I have them and I love them. I love them so much I should even consider getting an extra set just for show ; ) They can be used for just about anything! Please specify which ones you would like.
And the embellishment set - what else do you need? Loads of brads, flowers and even ribbon. Lovely!
And glitter glue! Love it to. They look small, but they too go a long way. I have had mine for several years and there are still some left. It is almost like magic ; ) - Crystal is sold out unfortunately.

The ribbon set have been removed as it is sold out!
