Poundland Haul.

    I do quite a bit of craft shopping in Poundland. You can get some exellent bargains. They get a lot of end of line products from big companies. Today I had yo go into Newcastle to go to the bank  so of course I had to pay Poundland a visit.

This is my haul for today. I am trying to reorganise my craftroom as I just don't seem to have room to put everything. I got a couple of small baskets and some hooks to hang them on the wall.
Those odd grey things are collapsable funnels. They were 2 for £1 and they will be very usefull in my craftroom.
I recently purchased some spray bottles from Aliexpress which were very reasonably priced. Today i bought a travel cosmetic set for £1. It has 2 spray bottles in it which are only small but big enough for alcohol ink sprays, 2 other bottles which I plan to use for glue, and several little pots that I'm sure I can find a use for. I also got a cosmetic stand which is perfect to put them in.

This was my favorite purchase. Metallic acrylic paint. Good sized tubes and I cant wait to see what they are like. They only had 4 colours so I will have to keep checking to see if they get any different ones. All in all I am drlighted with my little haul today.

Take Notice of Your Surroundings

 We tend to live in a bubble, only seeing what’s right in front of us, or focusing on things that relate to our interests. It’s easy to be unaware of your surroundings, but you might find some new friends if you just take notice of people around you. Your social circle is expanding as we speak, and it can be difficult to stay connected with everyone; however, all it takes is one person with whom you share something in common. After talking with them for a few minutes, they could lead you toward someone else who shares an interest of yours. Before long, your social circle will expand exponentially. Take notice: it’s important! You never know who you could meet. You never know where life might take you. And you never know how many new friendships might come out of seemingly random encounters. Expand your horizons and make more connections by taking more notice today. Who knows where it could lead? Who knows who you’ll meet?

A Day in The Life of a Crafter

I have always had an interest in crafts and handmade items of all kinds, but I never considered myself to be very good. I set up an Instagram account first and I got some very nice comments about the things I had made. I thought it might be a good idea to share with you my typical crafty day. As you know I am at present a nurse, although I don't know how much longer I will be working. I'm hoping I can retire in the next couple of years. Anyway this is my crafty day when I am not at work. I wake up  roll out of bed and head downstairs for breakfast. I'm not a fan of huge breakfasts but I have to have something. After breakfast it's time to take Star out gonna walk. She loves her walk. After that it's back home and into The Craftroom. I spend some time finishing of a project  orcstarting a new one. I always seem to have more than one project on the go at once. At the minute I am working on some new items for a nature themed fair I am taking part in in April. I usually...
