weekly challenge, but more chatting tbh - part 5!

[lucykate]

ready, steady, go...!

Meridian - I got accepted on Spoonflower too (anyone else ?) and I'm not sure what to do next either ... Doh, I will show dh and let him work it out. He works in a Marketing Agency and understands all the colour technical blurb etc.

I'll post when he's had a look.
It'll be cool to work with fabric that you've designed yourself - or sell ?

Sorry to hear about Nbg - did something happen ? I hope she hasn't been involved in one of those horrid threads whereby you get eaten alive ...

It's late so I'll catch up with everyone tomorrow. I'm working on a new doorstop and quite pleased so far.

Nighty, night

tillyboo-- havent got a clue what to do on spoonflower either, it just says upload images... but I don't really understand .. what size or how to make a pattern of the image etc.... will try to figure it out on monday I think...

oh, my head!

lk- aww bless.... no hang over here but I have cramps instead... DS iis watching nickJr so I'm pottering on the computer till he has finished his breakfast sandwhich... which was last night tea that he threw a fit a bout and got sent strait to bed for refusing to eat it as he wanted his pudding first...

oh dear Meridian - is your ds going through the "feffing" awful fours?!

my dd was a real handfull through most of her early years - she's great now{13} but i fear it is "the calm before the storm"!!! however she is a vast improvement on me at her age

ds was a big old brat from the minute he got up yesterday - i was sooo glad to pack him off to nursery {where he was perfect} the minute i picked him up he was horrid and continued for the rest of the day

ha ha - Lucykate - but i bet you enjoyed yourself!!

hi all i'm new to this topic & new to crafting generally after winning a bumper box of card-making 'stuff' in a raffle

bought my first copy of Let's Make Cards yesterday and want to proudly show off my first attempt at something from the magazine...pic (about to be) on profile, how'd i do???

justkeepswimming - that's fab! I like it

I've just blogged my latest WIP, it's lovely to work with.

I think Ravelry did a screen grab of my blog as I was uploading new stuff, it's blank - and will remain so until the next update, which seems to take about 10 days! Grrr. At least it has a link, I suppose!

Oh, and I've run out of space on my Flickr account, it will start hiding my stuff! Anyone else upgraded to pro on there? I keep thinking I might, if only so I can have more categories.

Miaou - have you just used up all your monthly upload allowance on Flickr?

JustKeepSwimming - welcome. There are quite a few cardmakers on here so I'm sure they'll if you have any Qs

miaou, dh has a pro account, and so does gm i think. i'm not far off going pro, it's on my to do list!

Hi again all - still no crafting done
I how however just acquired some lovely lampwork beads which I swapped some gemstones for.
I so love 'proper' handmade lampwork beads but the trouble is I just sit & look at them rather than making them into something - doh!
I will have to take a pic of them so you too can admire their beady lovliness

vintage- yup ds is definitly suffering the "f-ing" fours... wel 4.5 anyway.. most of the time he is ok but its like somebody flicks the bad kid switch... which only flicks on when I'm around... gerrr...

bless him though he fell asleep on the way back from Derby, I transferred him from car to bed and he is still a sleep an hour later... bless... he hasn't done this for a year.

no crafts but I do have coffee!

thanks for the welcomes

i have 2 LOs so prob won't be on here too much, may hold off blogging for now too as all i would have to say is sleep-focused!!

(cut out coloured paper for the lights on the car instead of the felt-tip i had used, looks better now.)

will keep up with all your work and pop in whenever i a) get a chance & b) when i've actually done some card-making

Just having a quick read and catch up, have been very busy this week, so have barely had time to check in here and just a little over for crafting!

Welcome JKS!! Nice to see meet you.

Am that Nbg feels she needs to leave, can't she just post here on the crafts board? I do have her email addy, so maybe I will email her and check she's ok. Hope it's nothing too serious though and that she's ok.

No dizzy, I've uploaded 200 photos, which is the limit on the free account. As I upload more, it will hide the ones I put up first, unless I upgrade. I've been thinking of doing it anyway, so might well bite the bullet and do it now.

Maybe have 2 accounts - 1 for craftyness and another for personal/family etc

Oh no NBG .
Dior - OI!! Cheeky . I knew I was the resident lush who all would be compared to
Miaou - I know what you mean about the needles. Ow. I get sore fingers using them.
Welcome Justkeepswimming. Cute card.

Hmm, I think I would run out again pretty quick though, dizzy. I am going to have to do it I think!

Almost finished my WIP that I blogged this morning (well, the knitting part anyway, I then have to do more with it )

Another blog post - this time it's about my stash!
