Day 6 Something to tie

Weewho I got a pack of linen thread today - I nearly ordered it last week lol. It came in an apron card.



I sent Rhonda a reel of ribbons.




Its a holiday here in NZ today - we are celebrating the Queen's birthday. Happy Birthday.

Happy crafting.

Something to Make

Day 5 has been great. I got a gingerbread man punchart card (it is soo cute) and on the inside is a Gingerbread Loaf recipe. So the title for today is "Something to make" so I made the loaf and they smell divine as I write this.
I also got a fabric applique kit which also happens to be a gingerbread girl. I can't wait to try my hand at making her.




I sent Rhonda a jar of Brownie ingredients.



Now where am I going to hide them from my hubby...????

Happy crafting

Something Smelly

Day 4 of the Mid Winter Bash Swap and I could certainly smell my goodies. A lovely top note shaped lavender bag (lavender from Rhonda's own garden) and a handmade soap in a cake slice box. Just gorgeous.



I sent Rhonda a bottle of Eternal Magic perfume. I tried to make bath salts and bath bombs but they didn't turn out too good so I took the easy way and bought something!!



It's a wet day in Motueka today so I will hopefully get some scrapbooking done. I am not a scrapbooker so it will be interesting (perhaps I should set myself a time limit otherwise they might turn out to be the longest in the making of layout history)

Happy crafting

MWB Day 3 - Something Yummy

I received these gorgeous milk cartons (love the decorations) and they were filled with yummy choccys. I was really good and didn't have one. One because I am on a diet and two because it was 7 o'clock in the morning!!! I will have to hide these from the grand kids and my hubby.



I sent Rhonda an altered tin filled with "Favourites" chocolates.



I wonder what tomorrow will bring... Can't wait!

Happy crafting

Mid Winter Bash

It seems a funny title as it doesn't feel like Winter (as yet). I have still been wearing t shirts - unbelievable for May!!!
In December Crafters Anonymous had a 12 Days of Christmas Swap and it was so successful that we decided to have another in Winter. My swappee is Rhonda. It has been so much fun making goodies for her. I received her box of goodies last week and I was so good I didn't even open it until yesterday. My family thought I was mad but I knew if I did I would have poked and prodded!

Something to Hang: A wall hanging and a key rack.

This is what I sent Rhonda:

Something Altered: A tin full of handmade embellishments

My gift to Rhonda

It is so much fun and we are only on the second day - ten to go!!! If you would like to be apart of this brilliant craft group send me an email motfarm@xtra.co.nz and I will send you an invite.

Happy crafting

Wow - what a day

Today has been the most fun I have had for a long time. Over at Crafters Anonymous we have had a fundraiser day for "Australia's Biggest Morning Tea". (ABMT raises funds for cancer)

Six of us on the Admin team all did a project. Debi was first up with a Teacup Easel card, I was next with a Coffee/Tea Wallet. Jane had us doing the Cracked Glass technique, we made a Punch Art Daffodil with Julia. Tia gave us a Sketch Challenge and Anne a Colour Combo Challenge. It was full on from 1pm - 8pm NZ time. Everyone that attended had a good time and boy there are some brilliant finished projects .

Thanks to everyone that made today such a fab day - YOU ROCK. Oh and we raised $501.




Happy crafting.

Ribbon Tidy Up

My ribbons have been in a real mess for months.... I had an idea yesterday and today that plan was put into action. I gathered all the materials, measured and marked and then took them to my hubby and he put the holes in for me and "VOILA" new ribbon storage. Only thing is the dowel is too big for the Stampin Up ribbon rolls so I will have to get hubby to redo the holes on two of them.

Here are the before and after shots!



Now isn't that better? lol

Happy crafting
