Bank Holiday Monday

Nothing much to show you in the card making way today but I did want to update you on the forum fundraiser and share a picture of one of the LOTS that was won.  We raised just under £300 for 2 guinea rescues which is a amazing total and we are totally blown away by the items donated and by all those who bid and won items and those who just donated!  The actual grand total hasn't been announced as we are awaiting a couple of cheques to clear but wow its amazing!

As some of you know I make little fimo families of guinea pigs called Mini Wheekers and they are much loved by the people whom I make them for.  I have included sets in the auctions we do over at Guinea Pig Haven to raise money for guinea pig rescues and they are always popular.

This time around I was shown a pigture of my Mini wheekers being modelled by a lovely piggy who goes by the name of Patrick 

 Patrick is owned by a forum member and isn't he cute!  He is also sat on a beautiful crochet blanket made by Rebecca who has a blog and makes these wonderful creations to raise money for her own animals care. 

Right I am now off to enjoy the rest of my bank holiday monday, I really need to have ago on my new sewing machine which is still sitting under its cover on the side.

Bye for now!

Little Musings Freebie Day - DT Curtis

Oh how I have loved working with this handsome surf dude curtis by Sj's little musings this week, he is brilliant and with this gorgeous weather he certainly fits in so well!  I didnt want to make a card with him I wanted to do some thing slightly different, so I thought about doing some thing for outside and came up with little a simple straw accessory.  

They are really easy to make and this is all you need (excuse my messy mat!)

I would give you a tutorial but I think you can work out how to do them by just looking at them they are very simple and can be done with pretty much any image.

Isnt he soooo coool!!!!  Perfect for parties for men and young people or even a girly party or for some of you, you may need a gorgeous man to accompany you in the sun whilst your other man watches the footy!!!

So to get your fabulous freebie this week go check out little Musings 

HERE

Thanks for popping by I will catch you again over the weekend as I have another DT project in the pipe line as it will be a new fortnight for MAGICAL CRAFTS blog so please pop by and get involved.

Bye for now

Argos Deal On Sewing Machine!

Hi all I am so busy this week what with extra pigs to care for as my parents are on thier hols and the kids have been home ill as well as lots of other things I havent been on to blog this week tut tut!!!

I thought I would tell you about a fab deal on a sewing machine I bought today or should I say my hubby bought for me.  It isnt anything super fancy might I just add but does sew different fabrics, perfect for card making etc.  I went to john lewis had a chat with the sewing lady and she said certain machines are just no good and wont go through certain thicker fabrics even thin fleece!!!  So I opted to go for this one in argos it WAS £174.99 but has been reduced down to £79.99 so quite good value for money.  Now I haven't had a go on it yet so I may be eating my words later lol I hope it will be as brilliant as I think!

Here is the link should you wish to check it out ARGOS SEWING MACHINE its a E&R classic.

Right must dash sis in law over for tea and things to do, catch you all soon!
