Second part of the Seaside Mini Freebie

Hello and good evening,

I thought I quickly pop in and post the second Seaside freebie while I'm sat at my desk anyway. And I have a few things to show as well.

Autumn is in full swing here and I got right into the cosy mood as well. 

I put up some autumn decorations. Not too much, just a little to make it look nice.
And there is nothing cosier than some candlelight in the evenings.
Of course, some art and craft for this time of year has to happen as well. 
One take a plain and bare cane heart , some macrame string, beads, some autumn themed artificial foliage (or real works as well, of course), make up a little handwritten sign and put the lot together. 
Looks pretty for a super-fast project :) 
This took a little longer, as cross stitch does. It now hangs next my flat door and I really like how it turned out. 

I have to admit I have put myself on to a Hobbycraft ban! While sorting out my craft room I have come to realise that I don't just have a craft room, but a small craft warehouse. 
Sooooo..... no more ordering more goodies until a good quantity of all this stuff is used up. 

I have been so occupied with all this decorating and moving, that I haven't found much time to indulge in my hobbies as much as I would like to. But now, that I have finished, plus there is no more garden work to do, I want to get back spending more time with my art and crafts. My paint and paintbrushes are dry, the white paper screams at me "fill me and colour me" , I have several started knit /crochet projects on the shelf, which need to be completed and it's not that long until Christmas. I have found some lovely decorations to make....
I will share some of the ideas and links to instructions over the coming weeks. Most is crochet, some is macrame. So, if you like what I will make, join in and have some fun Christmas crafting :) 

But now it's freebie time. The last of the summer themed mini freebies. 
Here is your download link

Enjoy :) 

This is part of what's coming.
We're going on an autumn walk. 

So, until next post ....
Stay healthy and crafty 

Hugs Snowy

It's been a while....but here's another freebie

 Ouff ! Hi everybody. Today is the first day since my last post that I actually find the time to switch on my laptop. 

Yeah, that's right .I have not been on any computer at all since then. So that means when I count it's been 49 days. 

It's been intensely busy here. First my son and Beth moving out, then in between working as usual I started to renovate and decorate the spare room and transformed it into my new bedroom. 

This is what my Livingroom looked like while the guys were moving .Chaos everywhere :)

Once they were settled into their new home it was my time to start the room transformations. Yes , I did 3 rooms. 
I wallpapered, painted and laid the carpet myself ,on my own,  which I am pretty proud of. 
Last Sunday I came home at 7 am from my last nightshift and started on the next room straight away. 
My old bedroom was to be transformed into an art and craft room /office and all the furniture from downstairs then had to come upstairs. Half the time I could feel muscles I didn't even know I had. It was damn hard work !
This is the old craft corner downstairs , and room number 3 to be transformed. This is before ....
....and this is after. The old craft corner is now a dining area . 
Cosy , huh? This is the one room totally finished and tidy. 
Upstairs is another matter. While the furniture are all up, there are still boxes to be unpacked, some wall shelves to be put up and a good clean up is needed after I had guys around to do new loft installation yesterday. I also had the heater fixed and my window is to fixed towards end of September as it has condensation in between the double glazing. 
Getting it all done before winter comes and it gets cold ! 

So yeah, not quite finished yet, but close to it. 
And that's why I am now enjoying some time on my laptop and posting this and the new freebie. 
I declared a DIY strike for today. I needed a break. Tomorrow is another day and I will carry on then. 

So for now...it's freebie time. 
Today, in this series of mini kits , we are going to the seaside. 

Here is your link


There will be a second part to the seaside visit. And then , going with the time of the year we'll have some autumn themed parts. 

But enjoy this one first and I will be back soon with more and by that stage all the chaos in here will be dealt with and I can go back to "normal" . 

That's all for now, I'm off .
Till next time 
Hugs Snowy
