I think I am in some kind of weird time warp where I am traveling at double pace… or at least, that’s what it feels like. My list of “things to do” just seems to be getting longer and no matter how quickly I work through the list the end is never in sight….. [sigh]. Soooo, I apologise to those friends and customers waiting for a returned phone call or email – trust me, it’s coming!!
This book has been hanging around almost finished throughout my convalescence, so finally I got it off to the printers.
The 28 page (A4) book contains 50+ original Christmas designs that can be crafted using a variety of techniques and surfaces. A very helpful Techniques page has been included to help you adapt the many designs into wonderful festive painting, sewing, stitchery, appliqué, scrapbooking and card making projects. You are limited only by your imagination!!
As well as packaging up heaps of sale and book orders this weekend I did manage a quick craft project… hhmmm, perhaps not as quick as I first imagined but I did get it completed ready for back to school on Monday morning. Miss Aimee and I had decided as we are leaving soon, we would give a special birthday gift to her teacher this year. Imagine my horror when Miss Aimee reminds me on Saturday morning that her teacher’s birthday was last Friday. So, it was a quick trip off to Spotlight for some gorgeous alphabet fabric, burgundy gingham and lining fabric….
…a teachers carry bag.
I jazzed it up with a pen and wash design on the front pocket.
And to finish on a high, over the weekend I received the One Lovely Blog award – twice!!
Good gracious Kerryanne you’re certainly making up for the time you spent out of action – I can’t believe how much you’ve achieved!!!
Well done.
What a massive job moving is – as in packing and sorting through years and years of accumulation!
It’ll be well worth it though

Kerryanne, you are a machine! Take care – Rachaelxo

Sorry, I mean “Whimsical Christmas Doodles”. I’ve got shabby on the brain!!!
With everything you have to do in preparation for the ‘big move’ I am surprised you had a chance to post.
Cute bag.

I totally know you feel Kerryanne about time and getting caught up…I feel the same!
Congrats on the new book…it looks adorable…as does the wonderful bag you made for Aimee’s teacher!
Hi Kerryanne,
Oh dear, I feel like I’ve lost my friend already with your busy life LOL
I’m sure Aimee’s teacher will be thrilled with her bag.
Well done on the new Whimsical book.
I’ve started painting a couple of designs for Christmas tags.
Hugs,
Anna
That bag looks wonderful..and I love my whimsical christmas doodles. Got it in the mail a couple of days ago.
You Gal are a Gun!
Wow! So much to do eh? You are certainly going to be very busy in the comming weeks alright….
Hey Kerryanne! Oooooohhh!! Your Whimsical Christmas cuties look wonderful – uh oh – another ‘wish’ added to my long list! :0) And the bag for Miss Aimee’s teacher is GORGEOUS! How well I recognise your feeling of a ‘quick’ project becoming more of an epic … usually when I go off on a creative tangent! Tee! Hee! Hee! I’m sure it will be loved and much-used, bringing the lovely Miss Aimee to mind long after she has departed the classroom – what a lovely way to be remembered! Hope the packing is going well – Bear Hugs! KRIS
I almost wish I was a teacher ! That bag is wonderful .
