Hot Hot Hot

Sorry Ive been so slack in posting, it has been a busy month for me with work and now summer has hit us in the middle of spring. I finally did some sewing last weekend and got them base painted, so hopefully should finish those off soon and post some pictures. I have done a little bit of altered art and some swaps at Swapbot. This is an advent calender I have made for a swap and it is made out of matchboxes. all the drawers are filled with goodies. I also made all my Christmas cards ready to go.....hopefully Ill finish some things off this week and post some new pictures..

A busy sewing week....

Ive had a busy week sewing, haven't done that for awhile so I had a great time doing it, these are what I made and theyre all for me.....

Whats in store.....

I have a couple of patterns I have drafted and will be listing for sale at my blog, I am hoping to list these in next couple of weeks, I will also run a competition at the same time...more details to come soon so keep an eye out!!!!!

Altered Canvas Swap

I am hosting an altered canvas swap at my group and I had 2 to make, one lady wanted roosters and the other likes quotes so these are what I came up with.... Hope they like them

I love the USA

I love Americana...my hubby and I both have an American heritage in our family tree so it gives me an excuse to make some gorgeous things. Here is the American Eagle I have just made, he is such a big fellow and was a joy to make

Last post for today.......

Last post, I promise...lol. I really need to make this a weekly thing instead of inundating everyone once a month

I made this altered altoid tin for a halloween swap in my ATC swap, the photos unfortunately dont do it justice as in the flesh it is very 3D. Wish I had more access to altoid tins in Oz. They are fantastic tins to alter

On my group

On my Australian Altered Arts group, I am holding a monthly challenge, I post a choice of two pictures and then the girls can make whatever they want from them and the members then vote for their favourite. I m not competing but I did contribute and made this tin for pens, it has come in very handy and takes pride and place on my desk at work. Im also hosting a domino swap and I have altered these dominoes and then made a wallet to put them in, Im really happy with how they turned out
