three ladies

I never did get pictures on here
from the four days
of Girls Just Want To Have Fun.

But two of the "ladies" below were from
the third and fourth days I think.

The one on the square box with
the three bobbins with pink, green & blue
thread was made with the kit I bought on the day.

I have so many half finished projects in my room,
I am trying my best to get some of them finished.

Thank you to everyone who asked
how Miss Bella Boo was after
she hurt her paw.

As you can see she is all better,
and back to being as cheeky as ever!

Here she is, enjoying some luxury treats.

Not sure she is very keen on sharing....

But Poppy will not be one to miss out!

Hope you are grand,
Love Teen xx

What's on My Workdesk Wednesday

Crikey, Wednesday already.
So what's on my workdesk?
Well, I started off with a scrap
of paper, brown, cream, black and red
with butterflies on that I really liked....
I played around with a stamp set
using inks in similar colours....

Thought about making a card,
so coloured a sugar nellie girl,
but then realised there was
no cream in it and too much grey.

And so she ended up on the side
of an altered coffee creamer tin....

I am trying to colour the lid
with alcohol inks,
not sure if I am getting anywhere fast....


So it is now another work in progress...
*sigh*



Bella Boo is now almost mended.
Her paw is nicely healed,
and she is away for her first swim in
weeks to celebrate!

I put the dog bed outside while I hoovered
the living room......

And discovered this....

The other bundle of trouble
is in the dog house today.
She ran out the side gate
and spend twenty minutes
flirting with a handsome Alsatian.

Hope you are grand

sick as a dog

I made these hangers yesterday,
and had planned to go to
the craft shop and get some more
to make for pressies,
but woke up this morning
as sick as a dog!

So no more hangers to be made this week.

This one is painted with a base coat of
Anne Sloan chalk paint,
which is just a treat to use.

And this one,
is stained using Tim Holtz inks.
The ink ended up looking
green rather than the blue it is
if you use it on paper.
But I liked it anyway.

The main stamp under the sentiment
is a penny black that I found,
after it was long lost
in the midden
formally known as my craft area....

The idea is based on a project from the last
Girls Just Wanna Have Fun day,
which was so much fun.

well...
Hope you are all doing good this Monday xx

Love Teen xx

not to be sniffed at......

Started this afternoon clearing
up my craft room,
need to find the bed again for
9 year old niece to stay this weekend.

She is not that big,
so shouldn't need too big a space eh?


Anyway......
I ended up spending more time playing
with glue and inks.

I love/hate this frame.

It was part of a kit from
Girls Just Want To Have Fun day.

I used a fancy tissue to decoupage it.
I just loved the butterflies design.

The bit I really don't like
is the stickles I used round the inside edges.
It all smudged,

The wee eyes are the wrong colour
to match the metal hoops,
but I don't mind that so much.

I still haven't managed to figure
out how to watermark photo's,
adding to my to do list!

Anyway.......

How you doing ?
Love Teen xx

cheers!

A big thank you with
and even bigger thank you tag!


Since hubby started his new job,
and is no longer around to take
the girlie dogs on their afternoon
walk, we have started them with
a dog walker once a day.

Our usual fab dog walker
was going to be on holiday but her
friend would be able to fill in for her.

Then at weekend Miss Bella Boo
sliced a huge chunk of her pad off
on her back paw, cutting into an artery
and was a very poorly girl.

I did manage to swap shifts and days off
so that I was at home with her for the first week
but the following week, our relief dog walk
did us a huge favour!

Bella spent the day at her house,
including the morning sitting outside
a cafe, enjoying the fuss of everyone
as they came for coffee!!

So as a thank you,
a bottle of her favorite tipple
and a tag to decorate it!

The tag is huge, honest!
Its not just a tag and
a miniature of gin!

Base stamping is a pale brown
of memento ink, then darker brown
butterflies and some copper heat
embossed butterflies to finish.

The poorly pup,
who is now well on the mend!
Resting her leg on the first evening.

It's the sad wee face and big brown eyes
that get me every time!

Taking it easy.....

Now down to a smaller bandage,
but a nightmare keeping it clean and dry
in this awful weather.

The vets dress it twice a week,
I dress it usually twice in between
due to the dressing getting soaked,
muddy,
or just plain falling off!

We have now got five different doggy boots,
none of which fit properly
after the padding of the vets dressings!
So an empty IV bag does the trick!

Hope you are grand

pink feathers altered notebook

Hiya, how you doing ?
Hope you are managing to stay dry
with all this never ending rain.....

I have a real thing about altering notebooks right now.
Ever since we did some at the
Girls Just Wanna Have Fun days
with Kath, Anne & Debbi.

This one is a gift for someone very special.
The stamps are Hero Art's and I have loved
them since I first saw them at the
last GJWHF day in Perth.

The tag is also the book mark.

I love the sentiment, but I do wish
they didn't have the lines around the words.

The front cover.

So this must be the back.....
the wee made by Teen stamp
was made just for me
by the Beautiful Sammi.
( thank you chickie!)

I am nae sure about the letter B.
It was brown card that I heat
embossed with a pearl powder.
