Blogtober Day 6: Crafting Smiles...

 Hi Honeys, 

Smiles ahoy today (I hope) for the 6th day of Blogtober 😊  Do you love crafting dear ones? I do 😊   I'm no good at it, I can't draw a straight line but crafting makes me smile and it calms me and I just love it 💖 

Today I thought I'd share some of my crafting smiles 😊

Do you adore ladybirds as much as I do?  I started painting pebbles a while ago now and I just had to try to make some ladybird pebbles 🐞

I can remember seeing these gorgeous little garden helpers (they keep your roses free of aphids you know) everywhere when I was younger but now they seem to be as rare as the beautiful butterflies who used to be constant visitors in our garden too and are now so rarely seen.

I tried to create my favourite kind of day on a pebble (is that an odd thing to do honeys?) and it turned out like this...

Endless greener than green grass, blue skies that go on forever with the lightest, fluffiest clouds and a couple of birds enjoying it all 💖

I even tried to paint some fruit onto pebbles (as you do :) You can see them in the photo below, in various stages of being painted...

From left to right:  A lemon, a strawberry, two pears (only one with leaves so far) and a red apple 😊

Above them is a small trinket dish I made for a dear friend in the shape of a watermelon.  The underside is painted in a darker green.

I love creating things with air dry clay honeys.  I've been collecting cookie cutters to use with the clay and have even made tree ornaments.  They're fun to pop inside Christmas cards to family and friends and if you have little ones at home it's a great activity they'll love.

I'm always on the look-out for new cookie cutters in interesting shapes and Hubby has brought me quite a few that have become my favourites (thank you sweetheart x).  One of the sets he found for me included cutters in the shape of a dress, a shoe and (as shown below) a perfume bottle and a lipstick.

Do you enjoy crafting honeys?  If so, which are your favourite crafts?  I hope you're having a fabulous day and staying warm. Till next time dear ones, hugs always xx

Huggles always, Rosie xx

      Hi Jenna, so sweet of you to visit honey, thank you x Painting my little pebbles really does make me smile and I had so much fun making those Christmas tree decorations :-)

      I loved your fabulous post on green washing, where a company will spend more on marketing themselves as environmentally friendly than on actually improving their practices.

      I hadn't ever heard the term before and wanted to share so I've pinned it, I hope that's ok. Thank you again for visiting, stay warm and safe honey, it's getting chilly already, winter is on its way I think, hugs always x
