Day 53: A Lego type of day

So today I finally finished off my #legoadvent city calendar and built the last 3 pockets/blocks/windows/whatever you want to call them. I built them while listening to the #moana #disneyprincess sound track. I swear the LEGO advent calenders are the best calender's in the world. There’s three themes #legofriend, #legocity and #legostarwars. I wish they did a Lego accessory one or a Jurassic or marvel …

Day 52: Digital colouring

Due to catching a virus this week I’ve spent most of today sleeping apart from a few minuets I had where I coloured an image on a phone app. The app I use is free but has some paying images and features that you have to pay real pennies for but the free images are …

Day 50: Giant acrylic pouring.

I did this 12inch acrylic pour using Reeves white, black, yellow, ultramarine blue, deep green, metallic green, and mixed in with a pouring medium (I used water and pva glue.) To make the pouring fluid I did a 50/50 mix of water and pva glue then added half the mix to paint. e.g 50gm paint …

Day 50: Another cake fail

So I tried to make another cake in my Morphy Richards bread maker and the cake was heavy again. I have no idea what I’m doing wrong but it wasn’t greasy like the first one. It had some flavour but was just too heavy to be enjoyable. Has anyone made cake in a bread maker and got …

Day 49: It’s a music/movie type of day.

Today I went and watched Aquaman at the cinema and listened to loads of different music. I’ve also started planning an advent calendar for next year by buying Christmas materials and plastic boxes that I’ll wrap up and forget about till next year. Obviously I won’t be storing paints or glue but things like card making kits …

Day 48: Sven the reindeer.

One of my nieces has demanded I make her some frozen decorations for her room so today I sat down and completely decopatched a wooden reindeer for her. I don’t know what the paper is as it’s another scrap box piece but it’s covered nicely and when it’s dry tomorrow I’ll finish off the last …

Day 47: Cake Fail

Today I made a pineapple cake in my breadmaker and it was an epic failure!!! The cake came out as a buttery fried flavourless dough mix with a side helping of loads of grease. I think I got confused half way through making the batter and doubled the butter I used. ( I blame it …

Day 46: Christmas tree card.

Tree Christmas Card So today I made my last card for Christmas. The tree topper is from an old magazine Lets Make Cards. (I think the magazine is now discontinued.) The tree topper is pearlescent I added it to the circle topper with double sided sticky pads so it would give it some dimension to …

Forever Snowglobe This is made with a light purple textured card base and a large round die cut I got from an card making kit a couple of years ago. the sticker is a 3D Forever Friends sticker. To add some dimension and flair I added some silver snowflake peel offs and a couple of pale …
