Crafty Creatives - Whats In The Box?- Box 8

Ooh it has been a while since I reviewed the Crafty Creatives box as I have been so busy!  This months theme was:
SPOTS & STRIPES

Every month is a different themed box and this months had a bright and shapely theme to it which I love!  I always squeal with delight when I open the box as I never know what to expect!  The bolder the better, and this months art card was hard to ignore!

There is also a different Crafty Creatives 'kit' that comes in the box every month, giving us a chance to try something new and having instructions and props towards a new craft.  I have taken up crochet because of these boxes as one month had a crochet kit in it, and I have made a bath bomb which I will being doing again very soon!  This months kit was making a pendant necklace out of clay.  I am very excited about this as again, it is not something I have ever tried so I hope to post my results up soon.


Other bits and bobs have included these spotted cupcake holders and stripey straws...
...various materials including cloth and paper....

...and sticky spotty tape, stripey string and stripey glass beads

There were a few other bits and bobs in the box which I am holding back on showing as I want to make things with them and you will just have to wait and see, or buy a box of your own!

...not a natural red head!  My hair is a lot brighter than this in the flesh and I have been dyeing my hair for about ten years now, going from orange, red, purple and pink!  Unfortunately, Rhianna made it popular for other girls to dye their hair red so now I blend in with the crowd instead of standing out!  Ill have to go green instead!

Day 49 - Something I Don't Like


I am a big arachnophobic so this was a big step for me!  We attended a play group with bubba where they had a reptile show and you could hold the reptiles including snakes which I held. But I was not expecting to be so close to one of my worst fears!  After about ten minutes of freaking out, swearing and sweating, I finally touched this tarantula long enough for my fiance to take the picture!  The things I do for photography!

I crocheted this mushroom the night before and thought it would be funny to pop it in my fridge for todays theme seeing as my fridge doesnt have anything too exciting in it!

Day 43 - Where I Ate Lunch


This is my spot on the sofa, with my cushions which I cannot sit on here without!  I grabbed a quick lunch whilst baby had his afternoon nap!

Day 42 - Entrance


This is the entrance to the Savoy Theatre in London where my fiance took me to see Cabaret last month for my birthday.  I made it look old fashioned to capture the atmosphere.

At 3pm on a rainy Sunday afternoon, me and jacob were playing on the Wii to Just Dance and I only lasted about 2 songs before I was knackered and then slumped on the sofa!

Bryan Adams!  He is my guilty pleasure and im not guilty at all!  I have some of his back catalogue (my fiance would say thats enough!) and I mostly love listening to him on sunny and fresh days with the windows open!
