Being creative with cakes!

Made this today for kids @ school tomo!

Pixel Jewellery another new thing

So busy at work but managing to find some time to play with new things i have got. Love old school video games (big as ever even today!) and wanting to combine that with craft, saw some of these here and there online and fell in love!! Just playing around with Hama beads for creative strawberry to make and sell! Brooch size at the moment but will make coasters, pendants etc any requests or ideas for characters?

Back to it!

Well a lot has happened in the last 6 months, I started a new full time job and got engaged. I have never been so busy in my life but things have to change as I miss my craft so so much as I need to create! I have also missed sharing my thoughts with other crafters and just generally being out there in blog land among so many other like minded people.
Recent wedding organisation has inspired me and I have been to bead and craft shows and it is back, the burning desire to make things!
I discovered friendly plastic last weekend at a fair in Malvern and I love and it and have played with it as much as I could (in between marking and teaching!), tonight has been very creative and I have built my confidence with friendly plastic so I am going to share my first creations with this very cool stuff!
I would love to hear comments good or bad about this stuff so please comment, I really value others opinions.

the summer holidays.................

The countdown starts very early, the diary starts to fill, dreams of long lie-ins and days in the garden doing crafty bits and pieces and then it lands and ................................it's nearly gone!

I can't complain as I have been to Spain, done the V fest  and am off to France next week, loads of hols but that in itself means my crafty ideas have suffered!
I have promised myself to take loads of knitting and crochet with me to France next week and I will make the most of my final week off before I start my new job and get back to work full-time arrggghhhhh!

Finally....................the big business card reveal!I

I had these a while ago and time has been limited and I have finally uploaded pics of my new business cards which I am very proud of here is the front:

and the back, I could not resist more strawberries:

I have not yet had chance to show these at an event or even use my creative strawberry pens!!!!!
I had better get making for an event or start selling on my "ever developing" website!

Camping Creativity....

A weekend by the sea and a great little yarn shop and I managed to knit this up in an afternoon at the campsite, love the colours and texture and am now inspired!!!

I'm a back! - Giveaway to celebrate!

Oh my life! Where has time gone?  Where have my crafts gone?  Where has spare time gone?
So much has happened in the last month I can't even think!  I finished at my current school and start another in sept, we are moving an office from the house into an office block, the bathroom is being done, the house is up to it's eyes and we have been on holiday for a week in between!! Loads of hols and visits planned for the 6 weeks and I find myself here, in the midst of the hols, no blogs not many WIPs and loads of ideas with what feels like no time!!
I managed to get some awesome bits in Spain last week, some great bags and gifts for people who buy things  - in fact I can feel a giveaway coming on to share my gorgeous finds!
Log onto my facebook page Creative Strawberry and "like" the giveaway comment to be entered.  I will randomly select the winner from those who like the comment on Sunday 7th August at 8pm and a little gift will wing it's way tot he lucky winner!
I am so inspired by those blogs and people I follow and can only wonder how they fit it all in so here is a pledge to do so!!
Can anyone out there inspire me with how to get back on track with my crafty goings on?

Looking forward to hearing your words of inspiration!
