A FEW CHANGES .....

A SMORGASBORD OF BLOG POSTS .......!!!!!!!
I still do not have a scheduled bank of crafty blog posts ...... HOWEVER, I had an e-mail from my lovely friend Jan The Fan who suggested that though I still feel that I can't produce a "crafty" post on a daily basis, I might consider adding the odd very short post about perhaps one of my many "objects of desire", charity shop finds, what's in the shops, ideas & inspiration, other blogs that catch my fancy, sayings, and some of my photographs etc. as and when I feel like it ..... and I thought why not? ...... I am still not promising a post every day ..... but if you pass on by you never know what you might find!!

OLD TEMPLATES AND FILES
I am sorry I cannot send out any templates, poems etc. that I may have previously offered before May 2012 ...... my computer decided to die then and I lost all my files and I do not intend to redo or replace them, what's gone is gone!

Peg Doll Mermaid

Look at me going all arty farty - setting the scene for my peg doll mermaid with crabs and bubbles and stuff!! Can you tell that I’m just back from holiday and come over all whimsical??!!
Peg mermaid 1
I have never made a peg doll before, so this is a real first.  I’ve used a green ProMarker pen for the tail and then added the scales using a black fine liner pen.  Her hair is an oddment really fancy wool I made a scarf with once and her bra is made from two brass charms.  I’ve also added some Stampin’Up dazzling diamonds on her tail, but its twinkliness doesn’t really show in the picture.

You may see her again in a little while, as I have plans to put her on a 2012 calendar ……..
