Glittered and shabby ...

I've been playing about again this afternoon ... I saw that Just Us Girls are having a challenge using a template .. hmm.. I have lots of templates, but I often go on to adjust or adapt or invent even. What to do? ... Well, to be honest all the templates were worth doing but I had a burning desire to make another bird house ... 
A shabby place with a 'straw' roof ... 





... lace and buttons and bows ....



glittered and distressed ......


My template was for a tiny wee house so I altered it ... I used raffia for the roof ... glued it and stitched it gosh was my room a mess! 
But I got it out of my system ... so I'm off for now ...

Thank you for all your lovely comments ... you're the best blog friends ever!

Checking out my mojo

 I thought I'd try and make something yesterday ... trying to get back into the swing of things after being non too well ... my sleep routine seems to have been upended and I have a problem of now trying to co-ordinate my inspiration with my alertness ... maybe I will become a midnight crafter yet!! 


So I put together this little card for the new challenge at the Shabby Tea Room "One Two Three" that's one ribbon, two buttons and three punches or dies ...



It's kind of hard to see the 3D butterfly in these pictures but I promise you it's there .. This really just used up a lot of my bits and pieces and I think I like it's mellowness.

Hope you are enjoying your day 
Till soon
