Fairy Configuration Book

Good morning all my crafty friends. Isn't this weather fabulous? Just what the doctor ordered!

Today I have a configuration book to share with you from one of my workshops.

The front cover decorated with an assortment of lovely Prima Fairy Rhymes papers, you don't want to hide any of the detail. The lovely embellie is painted with acrylic edged with brown ink. Texture paste and a Crafters workshop mask to to add depth and detail. A lovely glass nugget with a smidgen of Stickles here and there to finish off the butterfly.

Inside the book, more Prima papers, lace, pearls and beads and lots of bits and bobs from my stash to decorate all the little boxes inside.

Enjoy the weather happy crafting hugs Lynne xox

Lots to show and tell...

Hello. I thought it high time we had a catch up!
Things have been a bit hectic here at Craft Den over the past couple of months.
In March Jean and Malcolm from Crafty Individuals visited Craft Den for a  fabulous all day workshop. 

 Jeans divine sample isn't this just fabulous?

These are what the ladies made on the workshop. Everyone slightly different, everyone gorgeous.

Pop over to Jeans blog to read some more about the day.

In March my brother Stan and his partner Barb came to stay with us on a two week visit from Canada for a family wedding. Bob and I both had the lurg and Stan and Barb arrived with it so Mothers day was cancelled here! Things could only get better you would think......wrong the snow fell thick and fast! lol

In April when the snow had melted Hels Sheridan's visited Craft Den for an altered mirror workshop. 

What a fabulous day that was, just what we needed.

This was Hels demo piece made on the day and Hels gave it to lucky little me!!

Thank you Hels, Love it x

Also in April Andy Skinner visited us here in Sheffield for the Cracked Angel Book workshop

The week after was sewing, here is the studio all  set out for Lynne's Big Bag workshop

Hels came back at the beginning of May for the altered canvas workshop, this one is Tamaras

Andy Skinner has been back in the studio this weekend, showing us all a lot of  wonderful paint techniques. Yesterday was the Gelli plate workshop and today the timeworn clock....and guess who forgot to take pictures? duh!

What ever you are doing this weekend ENJOY!

Craft Den studio is looking good....

I hope you have all had a relaxing crafty weekend. I didn't manage to get any sewing or crafting done as planned :-(

But ended up sorting, tidying and cleaning!!!!!!!!!

Definitely not in the plan!

So I thought I would share some pictures with you of our new fabric racks, which were fitted on Saturday

really pleased with them.

wonder how long it will stay this tidy?

a few close ups 

No sewing or crafting to share though :-( 

although I am very pleased with my tidy studio.

There is always tomorrow...

Happy crafting hugs Lynne xox

Deliveries on Good Friday?

Yes, we had more deliveries. 

I might have to take a break from my patchwork now to play with my new Gel printing plate!

The week just keeps getting better. :-)

6" x 6" Gelli Arts Gel printing plates now in stock at www.craftden.co.uk

Just so many...

How do you choose? 

We have had so many new fabulous fabrics delivered over the last couple of weeks, I cant decide what to make next!

Something for the kitchen?

Or something for the bedroom...

Or a new bag 

Or something for Rocco?

 

Think I will sleep on it and decide tomorrow!

What ever you are doing this Easter Bank Holiday.

Enjoy!
