Craft Barn Weekend

It was a great weekend as it always is, lots of lovely people enjoying all the demonstrations... its such a shame we don't have the time to enjoy what each other are doing.  What a surprise is was for me when I arrived in the morning to find a little parcel on my table from Rachael I opened it to find these lovely cards which she had made for me.. I'm sure you will agree that they are just lovely. Thanks Rachael!!!!!

The top two are very patrionic... just right for the olympic games.  


My new papers went very well at the weekend and are now available from my website as well as the Craft Barn  I have had such a good feedback about them so thanks everyone its always  good to have feedback from our customers. I love the colours and the small designs work perfectly with the peel offs.

Here is a  new design from the Fairies and Friends set using the new papers (Bug as the background).

While I was at Craft Barn Jon went to Bracknell with Sincerely Yours this was their first year at Bracknell, it was a  good show for us, although he couldn't manage the demonstrating so thankyou to our lovely friend Charry for helping him on the day.

Looking forward to Hobby Arts day on the 21st July if you havent booked your place yet give Jenny a ring on 01737 789977 it should be a day of fun, Look forward to seeing you there.

Our Latest News

First of all a great big sorry we haven`t blogged for so long, but we took a well earned rest and spent a holiday in Menorca.........and very hot, unlike England!!!

We have now printed all the papers but have not yet been able to put them into the online shop yet, hopefully next week, the colours are lovely and the four designs are very small and dainty, I'm really pleased with

them, so I hope you will like them.

We have just come back from a successful show in Taunton with Sincerely Yours and just before our holiday we did a show at Biggin Hill.

Here are some pictures taken without us knowing by Jackie at Biggin Hill.

Thanks Jackie and a huge thank you to Charry for all her hard work on the day .....

and this is a photo of Charry and myself enjoying a well earned meal and drinks after

the show to celebrate Charry's special birthday.  We had a lovely evening with live

music,  we did let Jon come with us as he had worked hard all day, and he paid!!!!!!

   

Here is another little card I have designed from the Fairy and Friends set, it is so easy to

make but here are the instructions.......

Peel off all the above shapes onto grey card and cut out, except for the inner ears (small heart) onto pink card.
The large heart and small heart have to be cut in half vertically. Then glue half small heart to half large heart and glue to each side of the head.
Glue the head to the top of the body at an angle. Glue the tail at the back of the body between the legs.
Finally glue the trunk to the pointed end of the head. Add two dots for eyes and a small bow around the trunk.
That`s all for now....

Bee Happy!!

Hi Everyone, just home from the Craft Barn after a day of make and takes, it was great to share and explain how to use the Helidot peel offs. I met a lot of new ladies today and the feedback was grea,t they all loved what they made and they did really well. Thanks everyone for making my day so enjoyable.

Craft Barn

I demonstrated my new Fairies and Friends set at the Craft Barn yesterday.
A good day meeting lots of new people and looking forward to seeing them again on May 5th for a day of make and takes using Helidot products.
If anyone is interested in joining us for the make and takes please phone the Craft Barn to make a booking.

I had some really great feedback which is encouraging and most people loved the new set as it is so versatile and here are a couple more examples.

The shapes I have used for Teddy are from Fairies and Friends and are illustrated in the booklet.
The only difference is that I have used yellow for shape BG and used the black lines to represent a Bee body.
The wings are shape AQ (heart) put onto white card, cut in half and stuck to the back of the body

The Flower pot is made from shape A with the pointed top cut off and the tag is made from shape B also with the pointed top cut off.
Black lines are added to cover the bottom of the pot and top of the tag.
The butterflies wings are made from shape AR . Peel off and cut out three of these shapes, glue two together point to point and cut the third one in half longways and glue at the bottom of each wing.
The body is shape L glued on top of the wings, finally the antennae is the waste from AU and AV.
The Flowers are shape BB and BC and the centres are AC and AD.Draw face on with fine tip markers.

More ideas soon!!!

Bee Happy
