Back with more parts and focusing on design

 Hi everybody , 

I'm back with more freebie parts. I decided to post more download parts ,because otherwise it would take months to give you all the parts of this kit. With 14 parts it would take 7 months if I only posted 2 links each month, so you'll get another 3 parts today, and then we-re just over half way through :) 

But I also have something else to show today. 

I've been on a design streak and just finished 2 full scrap kits. Now I only need to create the folders , pack the design in , zip it all up and upload the lot. Plus I still need to make detailed previews.

Wanna see what I did? Here's the first one....

Falling for Fall 
...and some quickpages made with the kit....





Love how it turned out ! 

And here is the second new kit....
Samhain is the Celtic /Pagan word for Halloween , by the way. 

And here also a few quickpages.



Like it? 

Okay, that's the design focus done and revealed , let's get to other things. 

I'm still busy knitting that minty green tea coloured piece. It's quite a slow process because the yarn is so fine. But I'm getting there slowly. 
I have also just printed out some Autumn themed projects from my huge stash of patterns. Most are smaller and quicker projects which will be done in between the large ones . I might even have the first ready for my next post. 

Right , and now that bit you've been waiting for - the download links. 





6 parts to go :) 
The next 3 will be on my blog in 2 weeks. 

Enjoy , I will do more plotting and planning for my projects now. 
Stay healthy and crafty 

Hugs Snowy

Back with August freebies

 Hello again, 

I'm spot on with timing for this post :)  And there's a good reason for it. I'm currently on leave/vacation time from work , so no stress and plenty of time. It's amazing how much of a difference that makes. I get everything done with plenty of time to spare and indulge in my hobbies. I love my time off work ! However "sigh" , I still have nearly 14 years to work before I can retire (if they don't raise the retirement age again before it's my turn :)  I can honestly say I'm looking forward to retirement :) 

Although it's not just fun and games during my time off. Those doorframes started to look rather yellow , so I decided they need a coat of bright white again. So that's my task for the coming week.....painting door frames , bannister and stairs, before cooler weather sets in . Right now I can have all the windows open and won't get high on paint fumes. 

So what have I been up to ? 

I actually have a number of things to show this time. 

I broke my New Years resolution ....again. I ordered more yarn. When I received the email from Wool Warehouse about new colours from the Stylecraft Highland Heathers range ,I just couldn't resist. I just feel instantly in love with these shades and already knew what I was going to make. 

Don't these colours look gorgeous together? Real autumn vibes ! 
Do you remember the Granny -go -round jumpers I made? One colourful long-sleeved jumper and a sandy coloured cotton one with short sleeves. 
Well, ,this time I made a Granny-go-round cardigan. This will keep me nice and cosy when the temperatures start to go down. 
Pattern by Ironlamb , available on  Love Crafts 
A quick make was this crochet doily .I made a few of these in the past , including matching coasters , but I needed another one. 
And....after a while ....I finally got my watercolours and brushes out again. 
This was a group project from "Zusammen zu Hause " (Together at home) . It's a weekly free live viodeo class on Instagram made by two lovely German Ladies. It was a fun evening painting along with them and lots of others. 


Gone with the flow on this one. Slightly abstract and ideal for warm up :) 
I like exploring different painting styles and abstract is normally not something I do very often.

I'm also working on a new scrap kit , but you'll have to wait for a preview. 
I'm not quite that far yet. I doubt I get it finished this coming week , the doorframes take priority .I need to get them done before I have to be back at work. And you know my motto these days : no stress , live in the moment and hygge :) 

Right, so this brings me to the final part of this post again. The freebie kit download parts....
Here are 3 more random parts 





Enjoy , and I will be back with more soon.
Stay healthy and crafty
