A few Crafty Creations

Crafty Creatives Box 6 came at an insanely busy time for me. I loved the contents but didn't have much time to craft and then wait for good light to photograph as well. So even while we're looking forward to box 7 next week, here are some creations I've made with the box 6 goodies!

Christmas 2012 commission fun!

This entry is long overdue, but I wanted to be sure all gifts were received before I posted it! So without further ado, here is my 'epic' entry of the best Christmas commissions I did this year.

Crafty Creatives Taster Box - a look back

As you know, I've been posting a lot about Crafty Creatives the past few months. It's been a really fun subscription service and I am glad I got in fairly early! Recently they started offering a taster box- a box with a selection of things they've had in past boxes. I only missed the first two boxes but  knew I'd be happy with any extras from the boxes I had received so far, so at the beginning of this month I ordered one! It came this weekend (where it was luckily NOT held hostage by my student neighbors as I managed to collect it from them before the last one left for Christmas break) and I thought I'd share what I got with you! These boxes are still available to order!

December! Crafty Creatives Box 6

Winter is well and truly here. Along with cold weather and icy sidewalks, the viruses have arrived. And not just the colds and flus- but the fun stomach viruses that kids love to share. Luckily we weren't hit hard this time around, but I spent a good day and a half feeling weak and wobbly, and wishing I had some nice brothy soup. Things weren't allowed to come to a complete halt but instead came to a crawl, which ended on a high note.

I think you can guess what that high note was!

Nostalgic Treats

I have been wanting and planning on a tutorial for you guys, and the weather keeps thwarting me! Even on the sunniest of days, my photos are just not cutting it. Additionally, the past few weeks I've been working hard on a few new things and some commissions- and it's not going to quiet down for a few more weeks! This is the busiest time of the year for me. So, to tide you over until I do manage to get the sunshine to cooperate for me, here are some things I've made in the past few weeks, including some nostalgic favourites.

Crafty Creatives box #5 has landed!

I look forward to it every month now, that glorious Tuesday afternoon where I get a box of crafting goodies! That day is here, and I am, as usual, so excited to share it with you! Spoilers after the cut, including some of my first quick makes!

Christmas is (almost) here!

I am not a fan of Christmas creep. Growing up, it was almost a social faux-pas to put up any Christmas decorations before Thanksgiving weekend. Nowadays, I see Christmas items in the shops at the end of August! Even though it satisfies my extreme cravings for chocolate coins, it makes me wary of putting this into my own shop too early. Living in the UK now, with no Thanksgiving to bridge the gap between Halloween and Christmas, it's easy to fall into the spirit early, but I held off! So, for your viewing pleasure, here are some thoughts on a few highlights of this year's offerings!
