What am I up to?.....

Hi Everyone

Just thought I would pop a lil message on here to let you all know a little bit about what I am up to...

I can confirm that I will be back on your screens next Monday, 22nd, on Ideal World (not Create & Craft) for the full two hours of Craft o'clock!

I hope you can join me and drop me an email to say Hi :o)

As for who I am going to be working with/for.... well, that's a lil surprise, but I know you will put 2 and 2 together and figure it out, however, I will (on Monday or Tuesday next week) make an official announcement, just so you know what is actually happening and not what you may or may not have heard lol

Besides, I like to keep you guessing ;o) lol

I will take this opportunity too to say a huge thankyou for all your continued support and the numerous daily messages I get on Facebook, asking where I have been lol.... at least now you know I will be back :o)

I will see you all on Monday!

Happy Crafting!

Love, as always

Secret Project No.3 - It's a lush one ;o)

Hi Everyone

Well, as promised...here is my secret project no.3!

I so love these that I think they are now my new addiction....the possibilities are endless! (as you'll see soon lol)

So this time, I have gone with a more traditional, warm colour scheme with the rich burgundy, olive greens and smooth cream... all with a (hand painted 5 times in the end!) rich, old gold metallic frame.

The photos truly don't do this frame any justice as you can't capture the lushness of the gold and the richness of the colours!

And guess what....no Tilda this time! Instead I have used another of my faves, Gorjuss Girls... This one is the 'Toadstools' Gorjuss, from the Winter 2011 collection (all on my website!)

The frame has also (as you'd expect from me) been hand stamped and every single dot has been sprinkled with glamour dust to give it the festive sparkle ;o)

Anyhoooo, This frame is also on ebay for you to bid on, and, like last time, I will make a card for the lucky winner to go with the frame!

Hopefully, this link will take you to my ebay store, http://stores.ebay.co.uk/honeypotcrafts2010 then just look in the 'My Handmade Creations' section :o)

Happy Crafting and Happy Bidding!

Here you go... just a couple of lil photos for your perusal... I hope you like them :o)

Personal Orders now being taken for these, but don't epect it in a rush...I'm a perfectionist lol!

Love, as always

Here's your quick link to it... http://stores.ebay.co.uk/honeypotcrafts2010

It's a secret (lol) so I can't tell you what I bought, but all will be revealed when it's completed, I have done the ground work, so to speak, so it should be ready in a couple of weeks (you know I'm a perfectionist!)

Anyyhoo,  Happy Bidding and Happy Crafting!

This really has been a labour of love too and I have (as usual) paid close attention to detail so I hope you can see that when you nebby at these phoros taken from my phone (I really must take my camera to the shop next time lol)

Anyway, without keeping you in suspenders any longer... Here are a couple of photos...

My Secret Project - well, one of them ;o)

Good Evening Everyone

I have soooo loved working on this secret project, mainly because it has taken me so long to finish it, but I have worked on it as and when I had had time to and not rushed it to completion!

This was something I wanted to do for display in the shop, but of course it incorporates lots of my favourite things, such as the Magnolia Images, Distressing, Stamping and lots of colouring in!

I bought the individual 5" letters in March this year, whilst I was at Olympia, yep, waaaay back in March!

Each letter has been distressed with Faded Jeans and Walnut Stain several times to get the colours just how I wanted them... especially as the inks just got soaked into the letters, I kind of liked that as it gave more depth.

I have them stamped the swirly pattern on the edges of the letters with brown ink and added glamour dust accents to them.... painstakingly with a quickie glue pen!

You all know how I love my colouring inn and I have probably spent more hours than an average working month colouring all these lovelies in... there are 5 shades of brown in Tildas hair! And three in each set of clothing!

Anyhoo... this is now displayed in the shop, high up on one of the walls so it can't be touched lol

The photos are not particularly good as I did them on my phone, but I promised  you photos tonight, so here they are :o)

PS - It is straight on the wall... It is just so big it was the only way I could get all the image on the photo! lol

I hope you love it as much as I do :o)

(Onto secret project no.2 now... it's already started lol)

Happy Crafting!

Ideal World Shows...

Good Morning Everyone!

Well, I have been up with the larks this morning! The sun is beaming and it looks like it's going to be a beautiful day (fingers crossed!)

I have been busy preparing for my next few shows on Ideal World (yep, not Create & Craft this time, I will be on Ideal World)

The shows are both tomorrow (Wednesday) and I am on at

12noon and 5pm!

I can tell you it will be a Christmas show... I know, it's June! but if you are anything like me (running around at the last minute) it's the early bird that gets time to relax and enjoy the festive season lol

So, I will hopefully be able to bring you some inspiration along with the fabulous, stunning products that I will be showing you.

I love Christmas, and particularly making Christmas cards, it's the time we get to go mad with glitter glue, glitter and use all the festive colours :o)

So, hopefully you can tune in and remember to send us an email, who knows, you could win one of the first Christmas cards I have made this year!

Happy Crafting!

Love

Phill
