Totally Crafty

Ciao BIMBI!!

Ora vi bombardo di foto-crafty!!! pronti!;)

It's feels like it's been ages since my last really crafty post..!

Uni, teaching and life in general is so hectic right now ;)

I shall share some pictures..

-*-

Here below are some marvellous cutouts that I am saving for a craft project that I will be up to with my CraftyFriend (she's more into Scrapbooking so maybe I should call her ScrapFriend but..no.. I like the other name better - *Glow*)

;)

Keep checking Certain Creatures for updates!!

Col Punto Croce ho combinato questo ;)
I've been into Cross Stitch and managed this

Poi ho decorato questo porta candela con le goccioline di plastica trasparenti (la candela è provvisoria)

I also decorated this candle holder with those plastic tear-drops. I'm planning to put a different candle in the centre that one is just to give the idea! ;) (better pics soon)

e infine ho fatto anche questa cornicetta per la mia mammina da mettere in cucina.. così almeno sa dove annotare le cose che le mancano per andare a fare la spesa!

and I also made this frame for my mummy to put in the kitchen.. so at least she knows where to jot things down that are missing and that need to be bought at the supermarket!

Adoro la pizza fatta in casa di fronte a un bel film.
