In my creative space today:It's a brooch making frenzy - there's various bits and pieces in all different stages of production all over my work bench. It's a little bit dreary thismorning so I had to use the flash...
I'm adding some new Spring colours for a bit of cheeriness.
I found the buttons on the plate on the left at the oppy last week - a big bag for $1.50 so I was quite pleased.
Also in my creative space, is this wonderful prize that I won last week. Cathie from Melbourne Epicure sent me this lovely little girls apron with a rolling pin and cookie cutters - look how cute the cutters are: there's a mumma, papa, little miss and little mister.These are heading for my handmade christmas basket. I've been collecting little bits and pieces all year so that when the time arrives, hopefully I won't be in a mad rush trying to make things for everyone!
Cathie also sent me some gorgeous doilies for my brooches, and some delicious homemade chocolate freckle hearts which I forgot to take a photo of before they magically disappeared (ok, I ate them.... I was hungry).
Now I'm off to check out all of the Blogtoberfesters!
Goshdarnitt you are too prolific a crafter Ms Pops!!!
ReplyDeleteYou make the rest of us look bad... okay, maybe just me. :P
Happy Blogtoberfest!
PS "Blogtoberfesters" sound just a teensy weensy bit like... um... er... a disease...?! ;)
ReplyDeletei think your creative space is brilliant but I must say i am sill pissing my pants about superpops. I think she is the best creation ever!!
ReplyDeleteA handmade Christmas basket sounds like a great idea.
ReplyDeleteGood score on the buttons there Cam and I love the idea of handmade Xmas baskets.
ReplyDeleteWhile I'm here I thought I should let you know that I am holding a giveaway for the word of the day thing, a poem as you excellently suggested. I will crochet a teacosy for the prize.
Thanks for your great suggestion.
You always have somnething good goin' on in your space Cam.
ReplyDeleteoohh, i see some new colors there that i might just need to add to my brooch collection (:
ReplyDeleteAlright, I have to go shopping with you! Lucky chicky with the giveaway toO!
ReplyDeleteYour space looks lovely and colourful, almost edible. I love the idea of the handmade christmas basket. Cathie's bikkies barely made it out of their bags here too. Definitely too yummy to wait around to be photographed. ps I have just had an idea for a giveaway. I'll email you the details.
ReplyDeleteXX
happy blogtoberfest!! I'm guessing it'll be a very exhausting month for you and I don't know how I'm going to manage anything if I'm visiting all theses great blogtoberfesters.
ReplyDeleteglad the biccies disappeared happily and you gotta love handmade christmas goodies...will you be my aunty for a christmas ;)
Love your prize! My sister once brought my Mum two of the little girl cutters for her birthday, to symbolize us twins!
ReplyDeleteOne of the local op shops here sells little bags of coloured buttons for a couple of dollars each, or big bags of white buttons for a dollar. Maybe it's in the rules?
You are making such lovely things at the moment. I do love those lil flowers.
ReplyDeleteAnd as for those chocolate freckle hearts — I agree — magic does happen. ;)
Apart from the fact that you are Miss Superpops and I am quite obviously not, how do I get people to send me lovely presents in the mail?????
ReplyDeletewhat a great score getting all those buttons! Your brooches are just so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteCreative goodness and pressies! Now that's a great space :) K
ReplyDeletethank you for replacing my beautiful heart...LOVE it, thank youuu ♥
ReplyDeleteGreat button find! I have been increasingly frustrated with the button range at the stores lately (i hate all those carded cheap looking buttons that are actually really expensive!) and I have just found two local oppys with heaps of buttons. Happy brooch making!
ReplyDeleteThe colours of the flower petals look spectacular against the dark wood and that little apron is adorable.
ReplyDeleteOoh! Gotta love the sound of a broochmaking frenzy!
ReplyDeleteYou remain my prolific crafty hero. Quite seriously, I haven't the foggiest HOW you get so much done!
ReplyDeleteLove your brooches they are so creative!! I think I need to make a few crochet ones to giveaway...
ReplyDeleteBetween catching up with creative space and blogtoberfest posts I may not have any creations for next week haha...
Hi, I am a fellow blogtoberfest-ER! OMG its such a great platform to meet people all over! My blog is mostly about my little baby though... He's all brand new and i am really excited about the little steps he is taking! Anyway here's a little note: Great blog, keep blogging will be coming back for more!
ReplyDeleteMy quest is to check out every single blogger on tinniegal's blogtoberfest and leave a comment at each...
Psst: the only craft I can come up with are just scrapbooks and cross stitches! Your blog inspires me... But I have no time for them now...sigh...
I just joined the blogberfest, first time. Your creative space is much better than mine. I decide to tied up my place soon.
