DCM - Doodle Dare.

Better late than never - and talk about feeling the presure. With Rhi telling everyone I'm the doodle queen :?,I got doodle block, but I do love to doodle-do.

Did a quick card this morning. I used (for the first time), the extra QK dies that are with the Sunshine Alphabet - they are just screaming out to be doodled.

UKS Cyber Crop.***Edit***

Well the best laid plans ......
I had been planning to Scrap all weekend at the UKS CC, but got side tracked by my ikkle craft studio - (did I mention I love it?);D, so only managed 1 class, and it was Little Cottage (Tracie) class. I loved the class and I love the finished Lippy Chick book. Thanks for a great class Bob. Not done the cover yet.

***Edited***
I've edited this post to add a link for the Lippy Chick Book that Tracie used for her CC class. They are available from Tracie's Little Cottage Crafts and are fabby to work with. The squares are 5x5 and fold up into a plastic wallet.

James Bond

Went to the cinema today with the guys to see the new James Bond.
It was fab - Daniel Craig is a real dirty JB. His hair got toozied when he was fighting and everything. :D

New Studio.

Sorry I've been MIA (Missing in Action), this week ...... but ..... my new Craft Studio has been taking up all my time this week - and weekend. I have not done this weeks challenge or little extra at DCM. Missed all the UKS CC classes (I have started Tracie's class) - I hope to get the rest done before long.

So you want to see some pix ..... ?






I'm really chuffed to bits with it, DH has done a great job. Just have to get some more shelves up and that should be it .... :D.

DCM - Dare 5

Daring Card Makers have set their new dare - 'Use some ribbon for the men in your life'. Here are a couple of cards for the fellas in my life, with ribbon.

My Boy.

My Boy has been so ill all week, the poor might. He seems to have perked up a bit now, so out comes the camera .... lol. These are a few of the pix I took last night, getting ready for Tracie's UKS CC Class next weekend. Can you spot the 'how you doin?'(Joey from Friends) photo ...... :D

DCM - Little Extra.

This week Daring Cardmakers 'Little Extra' is to make a card that includes -
- 1 tag.
- 2 different ribbon/fibers.
- 3 different patterned papers.

Here is mine. I used my QK Reindeer for the first time, little squares are from DCWV 6x6 Christmas stack and Purple Onion UM stamps for 'Christmas'.

Witch Verdi.

Right you snotty lot, the first person I hear sniggering will be turned into a wart incrusted toad ........ ribbit-ribbit.

My son is off sick and how do I spend the day .....in between emptying the sick bowl 8? ........ making a witchy hat for my Hogwarts School photo ...... along with black tooth and Hugo my pet spider, hehehehe!!!!! I am wearing my house colours (green) - but the picture is better in B&W. Hehehe - should I be feeling guilty that I am not at work ...... and am sitting here giggling like a spotty Muggle :D

LCC Challenge.

I also did a frame for the LCC Challenge this week. It's a picture of my Niece to give to my sister as a gift for her Christmas. It took me so long to add all those glass beads but it was worth it.

LCC Friday Night Challenge.

I have a day off today - DS has the lurgie, he got it from me :/ - and I'm ashamed to say - yay, I have a day off ... ;)

I couldn't decide what to do for the LCC Challenge this week. I had a few false starts. My radio has Sugar Hot, Blonde Moments paint all over it .... I had a yucky old plant pot from the garden nothing was giving me the vibe.

I then found the ikkle tin that Tracie send during the LCC CC full of yummy sweets, so promptly ate the goodies and made a sewing tin.

As requested by Lisa.

Here you go Lisa.......x Enjoy.
CHOCOLATE CRUNCHIES
200g/8oz digestive biscuits
100g/4oz butter
3 tbsp golden syrup
2 tbsp cocoa powder
50g/2oz raisins
100g/4oz dark chocolate
Serves 8-10

1 Butter an 18cm/7in sandwich tin. Seal biscuits in a strong bag and bash into uneven crumbs with a rolling pin. (This is good therapy)

2 Melt butter and syrup in a pan. Stir in the cocoa and raisins, then thoroughly stir in the biscuit crumbs. Spoon into the tin and press down firmly.

3 Melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water. Spread over the biscuit base and chill for about half an hour.

Badge of the Week.

It been over 2 weeks since I have made a commission card, I have been turning down all orders - and I am loving the break. Every card I have made has been for fun. So with all the great Dares and Challenges I am really enjoying crafting for the first time in ages...... :D.

The return of the Domestic Goddess ....... yeah right.

I bought a recipie book this week - cakes and bakes - yum.
Sent S off to the supermarket with a list of ingredients and spent a bit of time in the kitchen making Chocolate Crunchies - they are yummy.

If you fancy the recipie let me know and I'll add it to the blog.

Sunset

Spooky goings on ........ or is it MAGIC!!!!

Not sure what is happening with my blog just now - it could be a bit of Harry Potter magic. The posts seem to be invisable, but do show up if you wave your mouse over them ....... spoooooky.8)
