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 have Createcand Craft on when I am working, so chances are I will be topping up my supplies. 😁 I could happily spend all day and every day in my craftroom. I'm notvsure Dave would be very happy about that however.

I like to browse Pinterest at some point. I have several boards that I use for inspiration. There are some very talented crafters out there. They always inspire me to try something new.

Lunchtime is time gor snuggles with Star. She loves a snuggle. As well as a time gor food and drink it's a good time to catch up on social media and see what everyone else is up to. It's also a time to remember to get something out of the freezer for tea.

Back to the craftroom for a bit more play. Before I know it it's time to take Star out again. No more crafting after that because it will soon be time for Dave to come home from work.

Until next time

Keep Crafting.

Creative Christmas Crafting

Today's card is made using the Paper Pantry Vol X11 USB by Creative Crafting World. I used an 8x8 in card blank. I used a mat of gold mirri card which I cut to 7.75 by 7.75 ins and then glued it onto the front of the card. I chose two matching backing papers. These paper patterns are also reflected in the topper I chose. I chose the decorative paper first and cut it to 7.5x7.5 ins and glued it on top of the mirri card. Next I cut a piece of gold mirri card at 5.25x5.25 ins and glued it in the middle of the card. I cut the green paper at 5x5ins and glued it on top of the mirri card. The plain green paper is one of the coloured cards from the Collection. As it was just going into mats and layers I just printed it onto paper. I chose the topper and when I had cut it out I measured it and cut a piece of gold mirri card quarter of an inch bigger all around. Then I carefully glued them into the centre of the card. You could leave it at that but I wanted to add something extra. I had...

Making Videos

As you know I am busy getting content onto my YouTube Channel. I have made several videos over the last couple of weeks. I am not 100% comfortable with talking on videos. I am very aware of my very Geordie accent. I also get very nervous and feel like I am stumbling over my words, or in some places I feel there are awkward silences. I have tried making videos with no commentary in them, but they aren't right either. I am hoping I have found the solution to my problem. I have discovered this handy little app. It has enabled me to edit photos together and add text instructions to the pictures. I have been playing with it over the past couple of days, and so far I am impressed. I shall be adding videos made with this app soon. In the meantime if you would like to check out my YouTube Channel you can find it here Celticmoon Crafts YouTube Channel Until next time Happy Crafting
