And here's one I made earlier!

Well it really was a bit of a case of here is one I made earlier for this weeks purple haze challenge..... the theme was colours of christmas and I made a card. I wasn't 100% happy with said card and so I started again and made a crystal snowflake bracelet....... beautiful as it is ..... it didn't seem right for the challenge  so I was struggling. Then whilst knitting a scarf for a christmas present ..... I fell in love with the colours and the sparkle of silver that runs through them which I doubt will have been captured in the photograph....... the whole thing shrieked colours of christmas at me........... can you enter a scarf in a challenge ..... well knitting is a craft and I made it myself so yes I suppose I can, The only down to this story (unless you are me) is that the scarf is so gorgeous and pretty ..... oh and warm that it has to stay with me......so I'm off to buy more yarn this afternoon so that I can start the present all over again..

..... note to self...... choose yarn that you don't like or you'll be knitting forever xx Jayne xx

Baubles

Baubles..... well hangers for baubles are my make for this weeks Through the Purple Haze challenge. I never like the bits of shiny cord that come on baubles....... I don't like ribbon as I think it looks too bulky....... I don't like the strange bent wire hangers you can buy and bent paper clips are now a thing of the past now too....... I have been beavering away with beads and have made some bauble hangers that I am very happy with and are worthy of  the Fisk family baubles ........ what I could really do with now is a couple of extra weeks....... I feel so far behind after being poorly for so long that I'm beginning to wonder if the tree will be up in time for christmas ...... xx Jayne xx

Use your stash!

Erm really well that is quite a challenge....... so is crafting whilst feeling this rubbish...... wish this cold would do one. So here is my Purple Haze Challenge for the week....... Beaded snowflakes ready for the tree :) xx Jayne xx

Red.... It's Red honest!

The challenge this week over at purple haze is to use red, purple or pink so I chose red for these christmas photos of my beautiful Ffion and a 12 x 12 scrap book page. It looks quite pinky but that is the light and my amazing photography skills and I am in a poorly state which means I couldn't be fussed to take more...... I can't believe I have another full blown cold..... it is only a month since the last one..... I really have no immune system whatsoever at the moment and no patience as I hate being poorly.... so you will just have to believe me when I say "It's Red" xx Jayne

Stop the world..... I want to get off!

Stop the World I want to get off! Wow really I mean it....... I really am meeting myself coming back...... even more so than usual and in the midst of the chaos that is Garden Cottage at the moment another shock....... a card and a card made by me that I actually love......I don't care if anyone else likes it or not..... how flippant of me but I don't make cards that I like so maybe I should go buy a lottery ticket whilst these strange things are happening :)  so here it is my card....... a drum roll if you please. I almost forgot to say it is for thePurple Haze Challenge xx Jayne xx

Couldn't give a hoot!

Well yes I could....... I made another little owl bag charm and he was to give......... he was very well received by his new owner and as I have met myself coming back this week he will be my "anything goes" Purple Haze Challenge ....... I think I love him even more than the original which I kept...... hhmmm can see me having to make another one soon :) xx Jayne xx
