Fezziwigs Says ...

Hi Everyone,

Golly I feel like I've not been in Blogland for ages!!! I have been really busy here and also I had lots of blogs to visit with the last challenge over at Fezziwigs Festive Frolics. Thanks to all my Followers who joined in the fun. 

This fortnight I would love to see all your Festive Beasties!!! Ive gone with a cute CAS card using a Die that I bought premade about 5 years ago. Its amazing what you find when you are sorting out the craft stash!!!! 

Card Recipe
5 x 5 Scalloped Card
Die Cut Reindeer.
Background Die from Ebay.
Stickles Glitter Glue.

I have now moved the craft stuff up to the new crafty room. Thats one of the reasons why I have been MIA. On top of moving the stuff up I then had a huge space in my living room to fill so I decided that I would do a spring clean of the room and then rearrange everything.

Very happy with how it looks and its now a living room not a living room with huge crafty corner!!  I feel like a grown up!!! LOL.

I now have to organise my new room. I do need to get a card done in the next couple of days so need to get everything off the desk!!!

Stay Safe Folks,

Love and Sparkles,

Hazel xx

Midway Reminder...

Morning Everyone,

I hope that you are all well today and that things arent too difficult for you all with the lockdown we are in at the moment. It really has brought us to a standstill. 

Im here with a reminder of the challenge running over at Fezziwigs this fortnight. 

Its an Anything Goes one so you can enter any creation as long as its a festive one. 

I have been prepping my cards for the next few challenges as I am about to have a mass move of the crafty stuff to upstairs. Just got the carpet to shampoo and put blind up then all my craft corner from the living room is on the move!! I wanted to get my creations made so that I can plan and sort the stash out as I go without thinking, oh heck Ive a card to make!!!! 

Sending Much Love to you all,

Hazel xx

 Hi Folks,

I hope you're all safe and well in this unprecedented time we are living in!!! Sending Virtual Hugs to you all cause you can still do them!! Hurray!!!! 

 Im here with a Viewmaster Creation for the Butterfly Challenge this fortnight. 

Now I remember having a viewmaster when I was wee!! Back in the day as my Tom keeps saying!!!! For some reason I remember having a Rescuers Slide show in it.

Onto some happy news. Tom and I have adopted a wee kitty cat. He is called Harry. 

We got him last Wednesday and Im so glad we got him when we did as that Day the Cats Protection Closed their doors to everyone due to the Coronavirus. He sadly has been abused before so hes taken some time to get used to us. Although over the last 24 hours hes really started to relax and settle in!!

New Job...

 Evening Everyone,

Im sending hugs out to everyone tonight, At least with virtual ones we dont have to social distance!!! 

What a scary time we are in and its set to get worse before it gets better I fear.  

Crafting is a great tonic at times like this and so I am hoping to get lots of blog time in. I dont use social media as it messes with my mental health and in times like this it would do it even more. 

 Onto happier things though. My Jake has a new job. He is meant to start on 1st April but Im not sure if he will be changing that day now. Hes changing department with Arnold Clarke from sales to working in the parts team. Hence the wee boy fixing his car on this card. The hours are much better and its also not as stressful.

Fezziwigs Reminder...

Hi Folks,

Im just popping in with a wee reminder of the challenge over on Fezziwigs Festive Frolics this fortnight. I have just announced the Top 3 from the last challenge. 

I have been really busy painting the last few days with a bit more to go. I am sorting out the bedroom upstairs converting it into a craft/study room.  

Trying to take my mind off the awful situation we are all living in just now. Lots of meditations and relaxation going on here to keep my pre existing anxiety disorder down to whats normal for me!!! Its kinda trying to get on top of me but Im not going to let it!!! 

This too shall pass, (thats my panic attack mantra)  in a few months we will be saying we got through the Coronavirus Pandemic!!!  

Sending Much love to everyone,

Love and Sparkles,

Hazel xx

Bunny and Chick...

 Evening Everyone,

I hope that you are all well.  Im trying to keep my mind off all this coronavirus stuff, so crafting and a spot of painting in the house. I have health anxiety already so something like this ramps it up significantly. Think I may be on a news blackout soon to stop me freaking out. 

 I decided to go for a wee Easter creation today. I was browsing in the Bugaboo Store the other day and came across this cute wee bunster. I won a voucher there a few weeks back so used part of it on him and his wee chick mate.

Wine Time...

 Hello Folks,

Welcome to my wee bit of blogland. I hope this post finds you all well. Its really cold here today after what looked like a lovely spring day yesterday!!! The wind is freezing and the clouds are full of snow. Although I very much doubt it would lie.

 Today's card is for Kim who is 60 in a fortnight. She likes wine so I decided on this image from Bugaboo. I knew I would be able to personalise the image. I ended up doubling the die as I wanted it to stand out and when it was just the wee blue one it was a bit wishy washy.

Hello Folks,

Well its Wednesday and time for more Festive Fun with Fezziwig the Penguin.

This fortnight I would love to see any card that isnt a sqaure. So get your thinking caps on!!! 

I went totally old school with mine!!! Since they came out in 1989 I have loved them. The majority of my cards that I received when I was younger were all FF bears. I also have a few of the cuddly toys.  So Ive gone for one of my stamps that I havent used in years for my card.
