WOYWW 192 - Finished Clock

Happy WOYWW everyone. Once again the time has flown and here we are again. Pop over to meet Julia at Stamping Ground if you don't know what I'm talking about!

As you can see on my desk, I have the finished clock, which I am actually going to give to my Ma when I see her later on - hence why it is there as I am going to wrap it. I think it looks great and it was really easy to do. I have another clock face and mechanism, so I need to think about who to give that one to.

Here's a close-up photo of the clock -

Finished Clock

On my desk today is a random assortment of things (as usual)...to the left is a Kenny K stamp (loving these right now) balanced on the card she is going on for a friend's 40th, a couple of promarkers, doilies incl new coloured ones (swoon). In the middle is a lone heart - I need a teeny sentiment for Hubby's card (any advice here would be useful), a card that I have started making with doilies and paper flowers - the paper flowers are from a batch that I have made for no particular reason...I just wanted to see what I'd end up with - you can see the rest at the top right. Also there are a couple of punches, my glasses, a corner rounder, some tools and bling scattered around (I dropped the bag this morning whilst trying to shoo a Furchild off of my desk).

Pretty tidy today - but to be totally honest I did have a tidy up last night..is that cheating?

I'm off now to hang out with my Ma, I'll be doing my desk nosying when I get back :)

p.s almost forgot to mention the new dressform you can just see in the right hand corner - I've wanted this for so long, but it was £20...£.4.99 in the sale - YAY!

Random Ideas..

So my first few days off have been fun, I've managed to pack in quite a lot!! I also managed to Skype with my friend Michelle who recently moved to Hawaii from Seattle!

I've also been making all kinds of random things, I've been thinking about being off for so long that I now have lots of ideas in my head...

The main photo today is of this month's free gift - when people by something from my site, I like to throw in a freebie, it's easy to do and not very expensive.

This month, I am giving customers x4 mini thank you cards. Made using x3 punches, round, scalloped oval and JT's butterfly. I stamped the sentiment and voila! freebies are ready.

I've also just started making a clock...random I know, but on my fave cheapo craft site, they had the clock faces and the mechanisims for £1 each?! It would be rude not to buy those and have a go.

The photo below shows the clock face and the paper I have cut to decorate it. I am planning on cutting butterflies out of the gold paper (also shown) and using them to indicate 12, 3, 6 and 9.

Pretty nifty eh? I think I'll give this one to my Ma.

I also made this bespoke Valentine's card -

My friend's boyf sent me a text asking for a special card for her. For some reason I really wanted to use a raunchy stamp for this card..Finally an excuse to buy a Kenny K stamp! This stamp is from the Krash Kittenz range and she's called Penny Pitstop. The background is a Pink Petticoat paper. I'm really pleased with the end result, I hope my friend and the boyf are too :)
