New Craft Room is building up

I am just about to load some more irrestible BAGS OF TREASURE into the NEW CRAFT ROOM in the Doodly Bird Store, so I thought I would give you a sneak preview.

Anyone who likes a challenge and to push their creative side will love these bags & boxes of goodies.

See what you can make from them, then send me a picture.

But if you are anything like me you might not do anything with them, only look at them and mess about with the contents, they are so tactile.  The bags are like a piece of art.  It will be difficult for me to part with them.

Putting them together is great fun, I lose hours playing around with different combinations.

 The box alone is so nice in this set, as is  the piece of lacy  calico I got from the Antique Textile Fair last year.    Hmm ! do I really want to part with it.

 

Pop into the Store for a look

Move over Doodly Birds, crafters coming through.

One or two challenges to contend with ...

This is the tag I made for the theme RIVERBANK over at Tag Tuesday Challenge.

Click on my tag picture to see what everyone else made.

 

My gazebo arrived today for the Art On The Prom events (sorry about the blurry pic)

The Challenge is to put it up without falling out with the husband.

Next challenge was to design a pen pot with a crazy haired Doodly Bird in a bath.

You can see her sister having a cup of tea with her curling rollers in.

Hope you like it Mo.

Thank you to everyone that sent me such lovely comments on the new

 BAGS OF TREASURE in the DOODLY BIRD STORE.  

Sales are coming in already.

Nearly Forgot ....

 I nearly forgot to show you the tag I made last week for Carolyn Saxby's Tag Tuesday Challenge.  The theme was "GREEN".

As we were on holiday in my CYBER GREEN VW Beetle in our GREEN caravan, set in the GREEN woodland in front of Cartmel Fell in the lovely GREEN Lake District, I was definitely in the right surroundings.

So this GREEN Doodly Bird emerged sat on a GREEN perch in a GREEN cage surrounded by GREEN foliage which i made from my stash of GREEN papers and my leaf stamp.

 The sharp eyed eagles amongst you will notice the make of our 15 year old caravan is 

BLUEBIRD, seems like I cant get away from birds for a minute.

What an adventure we had ......

www.promart.info

Well first it was on then it was off until in the end at 6.30am on Sunday morning the weather forecast said sunshine in Cumbria.   We got everything into the car and arrived in Grange Over Sands at 8.45am.  We met the imfamous Mr Robert Leach the organiser (the man in the yellow cap) and he showed us our spot on the Promenade (Stall 41).  Stall numbers are allocated by counting the railings along the prom. Its nice because we could park Frida my VW Beetle opposite where we set up.  Just as well considering what happened next.  I had just got set up and it started raining, so everything went back in the car except the table.

One hour later we had another attempt only for the exact same thing to happen.  So everything went back into the car again including the table, once we had dried it off.   The rainclouds were still hovering and my Doodly Birds were beginning to look like damp squids.

Our friends Jacqui, John and Ruby the dog (gorgeous) turned up and it was decided we would walk the length of the prom and have a look at the traders with gazebo's, with a view to finding one suitable for me.

Here are some of the lovely people I met and chatted to.

David Henry Webb of Shoreline Art in Barrow, Tel. 01229 26570  made the quirky clocks.

As we walked back along the Prom the sun started to creep out and I was all for having another go. Loud groans were to be heard but we did it. My display is nothing like what it was supposed to be, but the thought of setting my card stand and display unit up again was to much even for me.  

The coast line around Cumbria and Morecambe Bay is very strange you can see there are sheep grazing behind us.

I then had another visitor, my friend Gill from Park Farm at Ramsbottom www.parkfarmramsbottom.

Gill commissioned a canvas midi bag with these two Doodly Birds on.

Then I spent my profits on this lampshade from Clare Dent of Lampshade Designs.

Tel. 01229 583244 or email claredent12@hotmail.co.uk

Clare will make any shape lampshade for you in your own fabric choice or better still go on one of her workshops and make your own.

I will be doing it again but I will be taking a gazebo next time.
