In my quest to make my own paper ie. reform old paper Ive been trying to find one of these. Im currently too lazy to make one myself plus I have half a dozen other projects in my mind that simply wont take a backseat while I fiddle around with hammers and wood. So impatient as I am I took the sieve the sink and a fistful of paper and had a little play around. And I made my first little bit of paper. Heh its not very impressive is it As you can see Im still loving the orange nail polishI tried advertising on Freecycle a fab site for findinggetting rid of stuff but so far nada. And I think the family may revolt if I jam up the sieve with more paper mush. So thats on the backburner for a little while. In the meantime two new cards are up finally. Two dragonfly themed cards quite different from each other but hopefully both equally gorgeous. Ive also been busy... 2011-8-11 22:45:29 http://www.abigailhephzibahperry.co.uk/page3.htm#99436 This week I used the purple striped material from my last post to make a cushion cover its not perfect and the button I sewed on to it is a little bit wonky but Im happy with it. I have another cushion insert of the same size so I think I might make another one over the weekend. I love my sewing machine it makes it so much quicker although it still took me about three hours to do not sure how it takes me so long. Hopefully with practice Ill improve. Theyre not great photos as I seem to get the urge to create stuff in the evenings and Im not very good with nighttime photography. If anyone is please give me some tips1 x material from sale 1632.50metre1 x old cushion insert1 x button from old cardigan1 x white thread reel The material and the cushion Initially thought about an envelope design Finished cushion Also this week I was invited to sell my cards through a local group I... 2011-7-29 22:24:26 http://www.abigailhephzibahperry.co.uk/page3.htm#98670 A short little post with pictures of two materials Ive collected over the last month. They were taken on the webcam so theyre not the best quality but you can make out the general pattern. One is a small scarfsize piece of blue check I might just back it with some fleece for a winter scarf. The other is a 2 metre length of purplegreywhite striped fabric. Im leaning towards attempting to make a skirt out of it but I havent taken the plunge yet Ive had a few more halfhearted hours spent in front of the sewing machine but assignment time has come around again so its on the backburner for now. Rubbish webcam pictures will have to take better ones at some point. They are much nicer than they look here. Busy busy... working on a Thank You card at the moment and Happy Birthday. The Happy Birthday one keeps turning out a bit dark though I want it to be softer...perhaps I should turn it into some kind of Halloween greeting card but I dont think anyones that big... 2011-7-19 23:12:14 http://www.abigailhephzibahperry.co.uk/page3.htm#98011 Phew busy morning. I had a tutorial and to start with I thought I was going to be the only one there which wouldnt have left me with much opportunity to gaze out of the window. Thankfully a few more people turned up shortly after me. Still a little bit buzzing from being featured on Roxy the traveling dog on Tuesday. There were a few nice comments on the post always nice to have feedback. If you didnt check it out go and have a look. I am so impressed with the beadwork that Roxys mum doesAnyway on a day with a distinct lack of summer sunshine literally might as well be someone chucking buckets of water around outside my window I thought Id post a few pictures of the Rimmel SunShimmer I bought the other day.For 1633.99 I cant really say much bad about it. If you dont like a bit of sparkle steer clear. But otherwise for the price its an excellent little addition to my make up bag. Ive tried the three shades separately and although I dont think Ill be substituting my regular eye... 2011-7-9 16:48:44 http://www.abigailhephzibahperry.co.uk/page3.htm#97707 Firstly go and check out Roxy the traveling dog Her owner Mary makes amazing beaded collars and Roxy features a new artist each Tuesday. This week shes been kind enough to showcase me. Thanks Mary and RoxyI had meant to update over the weekend but annoyingly I had an evil head cold that kept me in bed. Its been so hot the last few days walking home from town in the heat on Friday didnt help. While I was in town I bought a new bronzer as my Benefit Hoola finally gave up the ghost this week found a Rimmel Sun Shimmer 3 in 1 Golden Princess for 1633.99. I do love a bargain. Sells for about 1636 in other shops. Multitone bronzing powder for the face and body. 3 shades of shimmering colour in one compact adds a soft luminous glow to the skin. Blend together for a shimmering effect or use them separately as highlighters or eye shadows Being slightly slow I hadnt thought about using them separately as eyeshadows but I shall be sure to give it a go. Ive been using... 2011-7-5 13:25:10 http://www.abigailhephzibahperry.co.uk/page3.htm#97425 Sorry for the lack of posts After overhauling the site a bit I realised I had a fair amount of work to do work that would be marked so I had to tear myself away from the admin page and write about alternate dispute resolution... but thankfully thats in hand now and I have a new design almost ready to go in the shop so look out for that next week.Also some photos of the Mouthy orange nail varnish thats available in the shop Ive been trying to decide whether to keep a bottle of it for myself and tonight I gave into temptation glad I did its gorgeous. At least I think so. You can see for yourself when I put up the pictures.Longer post on its way. Double promise with a strawberry on top.P.S Dont forget to click the new clicky icons on the homepage var fctbtoolnull function FCTBInit7e4f65cc46ba49d690e9bc7d862ccdeet fctbtoolt startfctbtool 2011-7-1 00:04:16 http://www.abigailhephzibahperry.co.uk/page3.htm#96553 Since my sewing machine arrived Ive been doing a lot of experimenting with various beads fabrics and charms that I have hanging around and I came up with this ring. I was inspired by a visit to the local indoor market where there are loads of gorgeous charms that I plan to buy next week. Hope you like it as much as I do. I might make some more of them if people like them so let me know. More new designs coming soon 2011-6-18 21:15:16 http://www.abigailhephzibahperry.co.uk/page3.htm#96558 As Im sure many of us are prone to doing I just lost half an hour or so clicking through various pages on a variety of different sites reading about giveaways to green living... and I ended up at this site httpbusiness2blogger.com Its such a good idea that that Im really quite surprised that I havent seen something like it before. Of course this could be because Ive reached the stage where Im quite happy with my old laptop rusty phone and have experienced having to ask a electrical store helper how to turn on the display Kindle... my point being that if there is another site like this well Ive missed it. Anyway. As Ive just started this UpdateBlog part of the site I thought Id sign up with them. Ive reviewed products before on a few of the review sites that are around and really enjoyed it but the idea of putting my thoughts together on some stuff I hadnt previously considered forming an opinion on well it could be interesting So all fingers and toes crossedxx ... 2011-6-17 23:09:37 http://www.abigailhephzibahperry.co.uk/page3.htm#95557 Hi everybodyBeen busy these last couple of days working out where to go with new card designs and whether to incorporate new elements into my site. Initially I hadnt planned on keeping this website up but time ran away with me and I had a day before I went on holiday to decide and Im a bit too attached to it to just let it wither and be lost Ive got some gorgeous new buttons and such that Im debating whether to turn into jewellery and put up here... well seeSo two new designs are here The first is from a collage a kind of stained glass effect its currently my favourite design. The other is from a colour pencil drawing its a little Chinesey and a bit peacocky... It took a while to get them here but I hope you like them bothAlso make sure you check out the ace nail polishes now available in the shop.
