A Cracking Christmas Secret

June 17, 2016June 15, 2016 John - Gentleman Crafter10 Comments

I’ve been keeping a secret all week – the lovely ladies that I met at Jodie Johnson’s house had a sneak peek at the dies that are being launched today at midday on Create and Craft TV – and so did I!!

We even got to play with them! Want to see what I made…?

The time officially came when the Kent All Counties Craft group workshop was happening.

… you’re in for a little surprise.

For the filthy minded the title of this post, and its content, probably won’t match up to your expectations.

For the rest of you, I think you’ll be pleasantly rewarded.

After the marbling workshop that we did in Essex the other day I had a few bits left over and, given that I don’t have a whole lot of room to store my bits in Maisy, I thought that it would be a good idea to use these up.

Hey my lovelies. How are things? Good I hope.

Hello my little munchkins. Hope you are all well? So Maisy and I have been out on the road during the last week.

We have been trying out different places to stay and getting used to each other. There have been a couple of hiccups, but I am glad to say that we have made it through our first proper week together.

Much has happened, although not a huge amount of craft but do let me fill you in.
