Happy Post...

Don't you just love it when Mr Posty knocks on your door with a parcel or two?

I do...especially when he knocks on more than one day!!

My pattern for Loopy's dress has arrived, quick delivery from France...

But let me show you the envelope it came in...

pretty cool right?

Made from a recycled map of Germany.

But that wasn't all...

Another really quick delivery, this time cotton yarn...

I'm looking to make a few make up/toner pads and possibly a wash cloth or two depending on how much yarn the pads eat up.

Then joy of joy extra, super fast delivery from The Wool Warehouse {literally free overnight delivery!} to finish off one of the blankets that I have on the go and also another that may just have slipped its way onto my hook.

*insert Happy Dance*

Oh what a week, Mollies Makes, Yarn deliveries, sewing plans coming to fruition and pom pom making...

*sigh*

Oh and I may have baked cakes as well...

I may also have eaten one before the kiddos came home...

*Fat Cat Sigh*

Tissue Paper Flowers and the such...

There are of course a thousand and one things I should be doing, but,
 the things I should be doing are no were near as much fun as the things I am doing!

I have been in the past quite happy to knock 'basket dipping' as a 'craft' and will admit to not enjoying 'Kirstie's' last series all that much {it's not all FREE!}

but

all is forgiven and almost forgotten, for she has shown me the light...

well maybe not quite that much of a revelation but she has certainly shone a light on paper flowers...

So, so simple!  Quick, easy and with instant results!  Perfect for a Crafty Tart such as myself.

I've sprayed an old Christmas wreath white and am attaching the flowers using wool...

...it is my 'practice' wreath and flowers.  

I have literally no idea where or even if I'll hang it once it's done. 
It will in probably come apart in favour of more Springlike or even Valentine colours.

The past couple of years I've been using various Graffiti spray paints.  
I have to say I like them.  
They're designed to be quick drying and hard-wearing.  
You can buy them in all the colours of the rainbow and once you get to know your local supplier you'll more likely get a bit of a deal...I buy 3 x 400ml cans for £10.  

And I mustn't forget to mention 
just how much fun using a 'Pom Pom maker' looks!!

I KNOW cardboard has worked well enough for umpteen years but these just look so easy!

I hang my crafty head in shame and admit that I have a couple of Clover Pom Pom makers ordered and am just simply awaiting delivery before I let the wooly goodness take a hold of my life.

And did I mention that I've bookmarked a couple of tutes for making 'honeycomb balls'?...no??...ok wont mention that today...

Tart of all Crafts!
'I could do that...'
