I was given a subscription to Craftseller (a fantastic mag) for Christmas and this months issue came with some lovely free papers. So rather than stashing them away for a rainy day I decided to challenge myself to see how many projects I could create with the papers. Here is a picture of the things I have made so far. Believe it or not there is plenty of paper left to create some more things!<br />

The wind didn't enable us to enjoy it outdoors unfortunately but we still had great fun. Today we made Easter Baskets and Easy Peasy boxes! Not to mention eating cake and drinking tea! (it's amazing what you can do in two hours!)<br />
Here are some photos, they seem a bit dark i'm afraid, as despite the sun, the shades I had put up outside cast quite a shadow.<br />

This exploding box has 8 opening layers, each one is rotated slightly to add an interesting effect! The box in the middle could reveal an Easter treat! Maybe a chick or a small egg! Mmmmmm (there isn't one here because if I bought one I would more than likely eat it before it got to having its photo taken!) </div>

I am currently selling these on Etsy. They are a set of 12 double sided stones. All handdrawn and designed by myself each stone is varnished several times in order to make them as durable as possible and to avoid damage while they are in their custome made bag. Each imagae has some sort of relation to the image on the reverse side. There is also a book with instructions and ideas for ways to use them with children or adults, large groups or small! </div>

These stones aren't for sale but been given as gifts. Mainly due to copyright issues as they are so similar to the original images so not quite sure where I would stand on this front! But thought I would share them anyway!</div>

Well it is coming up that time of year. Argggg some would say, and to be honest, when the first Christmas craft displays started showing themselves in the local shops in late August I had to immediately text everyone I knew to demonstrate my disgust at how early Christmas had started...However!!!!! I have decided there is too little time, when now in October, I have far too much to do! I declared this year there would be 'NO MORE' Handmade Christmas cards for anyone and so far all the card making items are still safely stashed away in their respective boxes. Don't let me fool you though, there is Christmas everywhere in my craft room!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This year I am branching out into giving crafty parties and workshops. After my very successful demo to the lovely WI from Dorchester I now have a party and another workshop booked. As Christmas is nearing the theme for these will be ..... (wait for it).....CHRISTMAS (surprised?). </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are some of my creations, I will be making them into kits to buy so you can make them yourself or if your local you could always book a party and you and your friends can make some while having a glass of wine and friendly banter. </div>

Well it was nearly handbags at dawn! I was up early enough preparing some of these beauties for a craft demo I gave today for the lovely ladies of the Dorchester WI. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

What a fantastic few hours with a lovely bunch of ladies making these bags. I really wish I had taken photos of their creations as there were some truly wonderful bags made. These humble offerings were mine. The larger ones are made from 12x12" scrapbook heavyweight papers, the middle sized one was 9x9" and the baby one 6x6". The card you can see was an example of the cards we made to go inside!<br />
<br />
Also hidden among these luscious girly bags is a 'man bag' (without a handle!) it is meant to look like a mans shirt, the tie lifts with the collar to reveal the box inside. The paper I used for this was 12x11".<br />
<br />
'But what could I do with them? I mean they look nice but...' I might hear you say. Well in the past I have bought large tins of sweets and split them up between the bags so my daughter can give them as thank you presents to her teachers. (that is if there are any sweets left I have tested a few out...wouldn't want to give them gone off sweets would I!) Other ideas? maybe you could roll up a pair of socks, or pop in a lipstick and a mini tube of hand cream. I occasionally sell my jewellery in them as they provide a good open space inside and look fab.<br />
<br />
If you would like to see how to make these bags I did a tutorial a few years ago which you can find on this blog under tutorials, or follow this link <a href="http://alltcrafty.blogspot.co.uk/2011/07/handbag-tutorial.html">http://alltcrafty.blogspot.co.uk/2011/07/handbag-tutorial.html</a> there are a few differences as I have developed the design since creating this video.<br />
<br />

Inspired by a great friend who wanted a set of Gruffalo story stones painted ...<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWQ0sGPsupyBrIzUuutIVJdoWlegYNaw7SWsg27VQeZDwDGY6Y5XtAQyGUmEZ0J6xyY5tJhph0lY7NWZN0dDW9E3NMcjzvcpRqG6Vwqne0p3aC9t7kZae_xNV8abq5ijChT4pYSXULXA/s1600/the+gruffalo.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWQ0sGPsupyBrIzUuutIVJdoWlegYNaw7SWsg27VQeZDwDGY6Y5XtAQyGUmEZ0J6xyY5tJhph0lY7NWZN0dDW9E3NMcjzvcpRqG6Vwqne0p3aC9t7kZae_xNV8abq5ijChT4pYSXULXA/s320/the+gruffalo.png" width="320" /></a></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After larging it up with the Gruffalo I thought I would try something different, so after yet another trek to the beach (my poor family) i set about painting random images onto smaller pebbles. This was then the inspiration for after dinner frolics when we each had to choose 4 from a bag and tell as story including each one! </div>

This Peg bag is made from water resistant material and with the flap that can be pulled down your pegs won't get wet and rust if they are caught short in a little rain! This was really just an experiment, the design criteria was to use fabric a little like Cath Kidston fabric but to be better proportioned to hers and to also be resistant to sitting in the rain occasionally! This one seemed to do it and was v successful!</div>

This Quilled J is using thinker papers than my previous experiments, it worked far better in that it was more solid but due to the larger paper it didn't work well with a tighter pattern like my other designs. That said however, I think I may try an ornate one with the 10mm paper next time.</div>

Quilled B, this is using 3mm quilled paper in a variety of blues, I used 5mm papers around the edges to form the template but all the rest are narrower. It worked well I think although I do find that the paper buckles a little sometimes and it is hard to make a straight line look truly straight!<br />

Cake Pops! MMMMMMMMMMM a commission for a birthday party. I made these ones with a proper cake pop mold, they were very yummy although I think I may prefer my other, denser recipe with out using the mold. Advantage of the molds however is that they always come out round...ish! and they are a lot lighter for decorating.<br />
<br />
<br />
I have done a few other bits as well but just can't find the photos anywhere! Oh well that will give me something to post next time!<br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Well what a weekend, I have managed a little crafty shop, some crafting and a session of ice skating (I know a totally random selection!) I was so relieved to have survived the skate in on piece as well as not falling once! My daughter however was so excited at the prospect of me falling over, I almost felt guilty for not damaging myself! What a mean mummy I am for not falling over and breaking down in spontaneous floods of tears! Fortunately (or not depending on your point of view) there is no photographic evidence of my ice skating skills!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I will have to settle for posting pics of my latest makes.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This first one is a notebook cover I made for one of my closest friends, hopefully she won't see this before I get a chance to give it to her!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This cover has been made from upcycled fabrics so ultra eco friendly! As you can see in the top picture the notebook stays together with a button (or two! I like layering my buttons) there is enough give for her to stuff all sorts of extra bits of paper in. The bottom pic shows the inside, the cover can be slipped on and off so when her notebook is full she can just whip it out and pop another one inside! she could also use it to put a reading book inside as long as the dimensions are the same!!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Project number 2 this week was a decorative quilled letter F, I had seen many images on Pinterest of similar letters and thought I would give it a try, I used to quill so much when I was younger and my first business was selling quilled cards when I was 10! I haven't picked up a quilling tool for years so was a learning experience all over again!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I didn't use a pattern but I do love the effect! The hardest part and strangely enough the thing that took hours to sort was the initial shape of the letter. Filling in with coils and pegs wasn't too time consuming, only a couple of hours! I am hoping to work my way through the alphabet eventually.</span></div>

<br />
Oh my have these given me a headeache!! Taking decent photos is such a must to showcase your work, I know this, but how on earth are you meant to achieve this??<br />
<br />
My original attempts involved laying each piece in an IKEA wooden bowl, such an inexpensive item, but I loved the effect. Here is one of my first pictures ~<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I still like it to be honest as it feels more natural, more in keeping with the recycling theme. That said however, the image doesn't show the bracelet to it's full potential, the flowers are lying flat on the surface where as they wouldn't do this on your wrist. I was also advised to photograph my pieces on white.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My next attempt was to use a white surface. I wandered around the house with my white scrapbook page, bracelet and camera in search of some decent light. The best room for light in undoubtedly the conservatory , although with the snow fall the roof was so dark that it didn't work too well. Here is my next attempt (actually there were several before this one but silly me deleted them, so I can't show you how awful they were!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This just looks so bland and too dark.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So my next attempt involved lots of research, I found some fab blogs, these were great help not just by the articles but also demonstrating well taken images of their products.</div>

I decided I needed to get a white vase, this would help give a little dimension, I also felt I needed a much larger piece of paper so that it will cover the surface area better and provide a vertical back drop aswell in one continuous piece.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I set up a small area in the conservatory, fixing a large length of paper to the windows so it draped down onto the table and covered the workspace. I then put my new little vase in the centre and experimented with positioning. Here is the results!</div>

I like this, but the light was still a little dark. I don't own any exciting photoediting software so wasn't sure what to do, I could alter the brightness and contrast but that was about the most I could do.</div>

I was browsing and saw a post by <a href="http://www.facebook.com/AllSheCrafts">All She Crafts</a>, she had recently discovered an online photo editing software called <a href="http://www.picmonkey.com/">Pic Monkey</a>. What a program, I just inserted my pic, played around with some of the settings and produced this!!! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Butterfly card</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This card is so lovely and looks 3D but in fact it is totally flat, ideal for sending through the post nowadays with postage restrictions and prices being as ridiculous as they are!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The other bonus of this card is that it requires so little, no tape or foam mounts, no papers or extra colours, there is no worrying if this will go with that! This card only uses one colour and the pattern effects only use a couple of stamps.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">First off lets see what you will need!</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I used the following ~</span></div>

<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Set of Stampin Up stamps, you could use anything however so why not experiment!</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ink pad ~ one that doesn't dry too instantly as you will be doing several stamps between inking.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sticky notes</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Card blank</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Optional extras ~ daubers. </span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Step 1</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">First you will need to mask off a rectangle in the centre of your card. Mine left a 2cm gap around the outside. Square sticky notes are fantastic as you can line up the edges to get a neat angular shape.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Step 2</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Once the area is masked take your stamp and ink it up, I have used a solid butterfly shape but it doesn't really matter what you use. The stamping you are going to be doing is to create a patten and texture to the card, you won't really notice what the image is. You will need to stamp your stamp several times around the unmasked areas of your card. I stamp at least three times before inking up again so that it adds texture and depth.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4LbamX0xOxEZcI9HWeTveNA0TxlFr1tQrQhWmV0zP2Ly3_jZFryZRJzJ_b1LMQpO4J8OFjREfyGZZjsrqPhtRc8SqLHyUDlvOzlfQdwh5-KOPJCpTyzByNo418KYj9l5eP1ueENxmcQ/s1600/2.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="193" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4LbamX0xOxEZcI9HWeTveNA0TxlFr1tQrQhWmV0zP2Ly3_jZFryZRJzJ_b1LMQpO4J8OFjREfyGZZjsrqPhtRc8SqLHyUDlvOzlfQdwh5-KOPJCpTyzByNo418KYj9l5eP1ueENxmcQ/s320/2.gif" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here you can see how it is beginging to build up, I have stamped over and over again in the same areas.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Once you take the sticky notes off you are left with a fantastic border.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjY135-llv7ZJuMlxy-xswHwZAQwIxzteHl2NR7u157UO5q_oV1Y1BhRv9I2exf9yHPMaEXo52SYku7rbn2vYoaiOitSc9ayJbGzwywcXq49N-XEoLTO-QagiEt7PjfLxIkJDbttrQa6A/s1600/5.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjY135-llv7ZJuMlxy-xswHwZAQwIxzteHl2NR7u157UO5q_oV1Y1BhRv9I2exf9yHPMaEXo52SYku7rbn2vYoaiOitSc9ayJbGzwywcXq49N-XEoLTO-QagiEt7PjfLxIkJDbttrQa6A/s320/5.gif" width="266" /></a></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Step 3</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Next you will need those sticky notes again (don't forget to reuse the ones you took off). You need to cover the area you have just stamped, if you leave a little gap of white under the notes that is fine as it adds to the illusion of depth. You will also need to mask off another rectangle inside so you are left with a rectangular line on your card.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Step 4</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You can choose how you do this next step. I used a dauber but you could use a tissue or finger or if your ink pad is a small one you could just wipe it over the unmasked area. You want this area to be a solid a colour as possible.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Step 5</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Remove the sticky notes. Here is how my card looks at this point.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Step 6</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now it is time for you to be creative! I think simplest is best however so I just went for a couple of butterflies and some wording. If you weren't sending this card through the post then I would be tempted to add a punched butterfly on top. Here is my finished card.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now all that is left to do is to write something lovely inside and send it to someone!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">It does make me laugh at how panicky people get when they think there is a chance they won't be able to get to the shops for a couple of days Thursday night, on a quest for buy a few essentials, I stumbled into Tesco. I admit I had totally forgotten it was due to snow that eve, and although I had heard rumours I didn't really believe it would happen! As I wandered the aisles I noticed how busy it was, there were far more staff out, filling the avenues of shelves with produce. It took a while for the penny to drop as to why it was so busy, the SNOW! Oh my word, the shop was heaving, people rushing around filling their trollies with necessities such as toilet rolls and beans. The thing that made me laugh however amongst all the madness was that of all the things for people to feel essential to buy in such a situation were custard tarts! I mean honestly, have you ever been stuck in the house for a whole day and thought you were going to slit your wrists if you could't get your hands on a custard tart? Well?? I confess that I have never felt this worried, I have never felt the need to sink my teeth into the custardy tart, in fact I have never really liked them. A strange thing over came me all of a sudden, the immediate need to own a custard tart! I must be missing out, All those shoppers must know something I don't, Maybe they have healing or calming powers, maybe they de-ice your garden? I will put it on my list the next time snow is forecast Toilet rolls, beans and custard tarts!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">We did get out and enjoy the snow, (without any custard tarts) We even managed a walk through our local forest, it was so beautiful, and barely touched out there. It was tremendously inspiring aswell! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I managed a little crafting in between snowy adventures. Here is a SnowBob! He is so friendly and an awful lot warmer than a real snowman!!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">How to use Pinterest</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Pinterest is a social network for creating virtual pinboards, and, I must admit, my new obsession! In fact their definition is that it ~</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">'lets you organize and share all the beautiful things you find on the web. People use pinboards to plan their weddings, decorate their homes, and organize their favourite recipes.' </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I think that Pinterest becomes an extension of your personality, it demonstrates the things you like in a visual way which can inspire not only you but those who follow you.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Pinterest works in a similar way to face book, you have a main wall ~ </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here is a copy of my wall. this is the starting screen and will be personal to you depending on the people you choose to follow, just like your wall on Facebook shows you what your friends have been up to. You can comment on these pins or repin them onto your own boards.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Opening an account</span> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> 1, First go to http://pinterest.com/ here you will find a button 'Join Pinterest' Click here and you will be taken to a new screen.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsa96oiDdpDFoLD3DYs0Zl8PY_C3X-Rj1LXjCr4x5-tW4ALcFv2JfGCPM1FqErAqryYQm1nVKGSM4iWIpAhtBMzsWcrhH7pQ3ukQBd6oRw6p_WaHrOP4mR11bcw-tB0eOSp-BgndGriQ/s1600/register.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsa96oiDdpDFoLD3DYs0Zl8PY_C3X-Rj1LXjCr4x5-tW4ALcFv2JfGCPM1FqErAqryYQm1nVKGSM4iWIpAhtBMzsWcrhH7pQ3ukQBd6oRw6p_WaHrOP4mR11bcw-tB0eOSp-BgndGriQ/s200/register.jpg" /></span></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2, Here you will have the option to join using your Facebook or twitter ID or to use your email. ( i have recently had a bug issue with my account which I think was due to downloading an unofficial app on my phone and although I hadn't put in any login details it managed to locate my Facebook details and access my Pinterest account. My warning here is 1, don't download any apps unless official and 2, don't use your Facebook account as a login just in case.).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Select how you wish to register your account. I will use email here to demonstrate. You will need to make sure that your password is not weak or it won't let you register. An idea for your user name could be to use your business name! doesn't hurt to get it noticed as much as possible!</span><br />

This screen asks you to choose what sort of board you would like to create, I am going to select find craft ideas. Once selected it gives you optional board titles. If you wish to create your own from the start click on 'something else' this one produces a box for you to enter whatever title you wish. Once chosen then click 'create board'.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">5. Here you will be asked to follow 5 boards that inspire you ~ When you select a category it will give you the option to choose a specific board. (this has been improved since I joined as you had to just choose a category and this filled up my wall with far too much stuff!). Select one of the boards and click follow. you will need to do this with 5 different boards (they don't have to all be in the same category, choose anything which interests you.)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Once you have selected 5 then click next.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">6. You now have a page similar to the first image on this post, this is your homepage. The images you see are things people have pinned from the boards that you selected on the previous page. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So now you have an account! But now what??? I mean it all looks very pretty and vaguely interesting but what can I do now?...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Well the world is your oyster now!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Each picture has three buttons at the top ~ Repin ~ Like ~ Comment. If you like the the image and wish to keep it then press repin, if you want to just like it (like on facebook) click like and if you wish to leave a comment the ... you guessed it, click comment. Below the image are the details about the pin, the original pinner and the board you found it on, you will also see any comments which have been made about this image.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now here is the clever bit!!!! of you click on the image and then click it again it will take you to the original website that it was pinned from!

There is a drop down menu which will show all your boards and also gives you the option to create a new one. Select your choice and click 'Pin It' (If you wish to change what is written in the description field and then now is your chance, remember though that this will be what it is described as from now on, so if it is repinned it will stay like that unless someone else changes it. You have up to 485 characters to do this in). This Pin can now be found on the relevant board.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After you Repin you will be asked if you wish to follow a board which featured that pin, if you want select follow, if not move the curser outside the box and click and it will take you back..</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now you got a board automatically when you registered but you can create loads of them, you could have one for craft ideas, one for wedding plans, even one just put aside for pictures you have found of one armed lego men! You can also have up to 5 top secret ones which noone can see apart from you! (perfect for all those cunning plans!)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To access your boards select your profile picture in the top right of the screen. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here is my new screen. Here you can see my profile information, my boards and how many people I am following as well as who is following me, (not many at the moment!)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To create a new board select an empty slot. If you want to browse through your board then select it and if you want to rename your board or grant access to someone else to pin on your board then click 'Edit'.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you want to search something in particular then you need to head back to your homepage. Click on the Pinterest logo at the top of the screen. In the top left of the screen you will find a search box, pop in the thing you wish to search and it will bring up any boards, pins or even people with those words in it's name. You can then browse to your hearts content. You can follow people, follow boards, repin pins etc or just have a good old nose around.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">UnFollowing</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Say you have selected a board and no longer wish to follow it, maybe as the contents keep filling up your wall with things which don't interest you. Then you will need to go to your profile and select 'following' ( located on the bar below your profile) Here they have been a little sneaky! to unfollow a board or a person the button to do so is in a fade out grey and not immediately noticeable. In fact it looks like you can't select it, but you can, so do so!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Pin It</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There is a wonderful Pinterest gadget which I wouldn't be without, the 'Pin it' button! It is totally ingenious. Basically what it is is a button that sits on your link bar in your browser. When you are browsing the net and come across an image or a site that you want to remember then you can pin it onto one of your boards. There are limitations however, you can't pin images from Facebook which I think it due to privacy (so I agree with that) you may notice some pages on Facebook however that have an option to pin pictures, my page http://www.facebook.com/ReJenisis has such a link if you want to go and have a look. So how can I get this amazing button??? well here is a quick guide.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinupi5Xe3WJ4XOuaDRWlOF88D34Hi1O-U5gSn4a13GpNhfLCEwSgosx6m4qZcL7fo2q0mQ7ts_iPXaH2NR70MFQiO5I8brWpSBaHt-_S3qA4ESbKDa1x-BUm2sor9hh1QzqQD4ZB4WiA/s1600/pinterest+bar.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinupi5Xe3WJ4XOuaDRWlOF88D34Hi1O-U5gSn4a13GpNhfLCEwSgosx6m4qZcL7fo2q0mQ7ts_iPXaH2NR70MFQiO5I8brWpSBaHt-_S3qA4ESbKDa1x-BUm2sor9hh1QzqQD4ZB4WiA/s320/pinterest+bar.jpg" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1, First off go to the menu bar at the top of the screen and select about and select 'Pin it'.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpFn98hNxdCcAE2qmwINXBJmQvDoxNRxQYo76WWlztBGVcd2Ud8qJxKHe6yt6vEzrGv5p1FOWksTkg2hR-otnnqA8MYmQ3gADIK9VSDK-VsDMNj5HJfuRkvDBbpdGODu3huB6CSMI3rg/s1600/pin+it+button.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpFn98hNxdCcAE2qmwINXBJmQvDoxNRxQYo76WWlztBGVcd2Ud8qJxKHe6yt6vEzrGv5p1FOWksTkg2hR-otnnqA8MYmQ3gADIK9VSDK-VsDMNj5HJfuRkvDBbpdGODu3huB6CSMI3rg/s200/pin+it+button.jpg" /></span></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2, Once on this screen you will need to click and drag the pin button onto your bookmark bar. A button will appear! It's as easy as that!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3, Well you have the Button but now what to do with it. Best way to try it out is to visit a website, if you have a blog why not go there. Click the 'Pin it' button you have just put on your bookmark bar and it will work it's magic. After a second or two a new page will pop up containing all the pictures you can pin. Here is a example ~</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj113uwyGhmFRaZSpV45Abae1pkCpqFXB4-smmLsmMbizEXzNzXqqpd8VUyrYrqBoeffdOCpxsAn6gSw0Hc2awUYrIwui5t0Px88KbdIhYh-tj30yv4YugD7k5KnVC2g5dx8aEiC5riYA/s1600/pin+it+options.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj113uwyGhmFRaZSpV45Abae1pkCpqFXB4-smmLsmMbizEXzNzXqqpd8VUyrYrqBoeffdOCpxsAn6gSw0Hc2awUYrIwui5t0Px88KbdIhYh-tj30yv4YugD7k5KnVC2g5dx8aEiC5riYA/s320/pin+it+options.jpg" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">4, All you need to do is select the image you want to represent this web page or just the image that you want to remember. Like when you Repin a picture within the Pinterest site you are given the option to change the description and you can choose which board to pin it to!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So that is about it! I think! Everytime I wrote something about Pinterest I kept remembering something else, there are so many possibilities so just explore. You can pin all the images of things you have created and once you have a few followers you will find that they will see each pin you place. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">A few things I have found</span> ~</span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">People who are interested in your products will also want to know a bit about you, don't just post about one thing, be diverse, show your many sides! You will get more followers this way.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Make sure if you are Pinning something that isn't self explanatory that you add instructions, or even comment about why you posted it as you will forget!</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">People who follow me often have boards that I am interested in too so take a look around their boards as well.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you have a few friends on Pinterest then why not create a group board so you can pin things that you think may interest them! Not only will they be able to see the things you pin but they can pin on the same board too. To do this select the board you want to share and go to edit, here there is an option to add a friend, just add their user name and hey presto!!</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You can tell people on Facebook or Twitter about the pins you have added, this is great to advertise your stock and a few other bits but don't go crazy, there is nothing I hate more than a wall filled up with one persons pictures and anecdotes!</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am sure there is so much more I could say, but not sure I can think of it right now! So far this (what was meant to be a quick thing) has taken me the best part of 4 hours (interrupted only by a waking baby!) so if I think of anything I will post later.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I do hope this has been of some help to you and that you take the plunge and join me on Pinterest as http://pinterest.com/bouncytigglet,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Happy Pinning!!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Well my first visit after leaving hospital with my beautiful baby girl, saw me popping into Tesco to pick up the latest copy of 'Craftseller'. I love browsing the pages to look for new ideas, business advice and general crafting gossip. This time however I opened the pages to discover, to my total shock I might add. a picture of one of my upcycled pieces. After much screaming and excited squeals and of course after making everyone in the house come and see, I discovered that it was a star letter which had won a £10 voucher! Yeah!! Here is an image of the article,</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">What a great boost. As if that wasn't enough however I have just discovered that another magazine I get called 'Simple Homemade' has posted an image of one of my signature necklaces on their website as an example of what some of their readers had been creating! It may only be one pic, and no name mentioned but if the image is clicked it goes straight to this blog!! I am still excited!! My first external link I think.</span><br />

<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Both these have come about through the wonders of Pinterest!! I totally love the site and all the things it offers. In fact I think my next post will be a tutorial on how to set it up and use it. There are so many wonderful ideas out there and I want them all!!! (cunning laugh!)</span><br />

<span style="color: #660000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Well nearly the end of yet another week and a week closer to my due date! arghhhhh! Still managed to get a little crafting done this week! Here is my latest bag, a commission for a very good friend. </span><br />

<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">This two tone flap over bag is so great! I am just so pleased! The bag is all padded with adjustable straps and as always recycled from reusing fabric! Even the buckles and buttons are recycled.</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #660000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #660000;">This is the inside, showing the pocket detail and the two tone effect with the fabric!</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="color: #660000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">This is my second go at a flap over bag and I have been so pleased with the results. The only thing I really need to combat now is the fastening, It really needs to be adjustable so it can fasten no matter how much is in the bag! That will have to be my mission for the day!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="color: #660000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">My main intention for this lovely Thursday is to relax and play with my new birthday present! a Sizzix! something I have had my eye on for years! I am so excited! I def need a slow day so a quite crafty one will be ideal! I am sure I will post some more creations soon!</span></div>

Short of nearly destroying my old sewing machine I managed to create this bag! I am really pleased with how well it turned out.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuytyFuii29_ggDVc_o23VN3_qUKh6y1jUT8qsyQ3WjLtExqMVmjA7VaiSxinAo2NcXJAMgHf172PWdc-sXTz7LeJ3y3zut2roeFd8ezjJpjpZV_L6zpVjQm8jXQaHW2YC-YIMa7lDUw/s1600/DSCF1002.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" border="0" height="238" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuytyFuii29_ggDVc_o23VN3_qUKh6y1jUT8qsyQ3WjLtExqMVmjA7VaiSxinAo2NcXJAMgHf172PWdc-sXTz7LeJ3y3zut2roeFd8ezjJpjpZV_L6zpVjQm8jXQaHW2YC-YIMa7lDUw/s320/DSCF1002.jpg" title="ReJenisis, Upcycled messenger bag made from preloved fabrics, contains pocket. Even the buckles are recycled." width="320" /></a></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The dimensions are approx 30x20x12cm and has an internal pocket and security clip. Everything except the thread and wadding are upcycled so a mega eco bag!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The design was partly an existing design I had made up earlier this year, an addition of production from another pattern I had acquired and then further adapted to make the handle adjustable and the flap over the front! Really wasn't sure how it would turn out but thrilled with the result!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Now all I need to do is make a note of what I did so I can make another one! lol</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Another recent make I keep meaning to share was a commission I did last week, I couldn't blog about it until the birthday girl had received it but as she has now here goes!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">A pink bottle flower necklace with matching earrings. The necklace has a little extra something however and there are little dancer charms around it! Especially for a dancer! Sorry the pictures aren't great, I finished it late at night and had to post first thing so no time for good light! still hopefully you can get the general idea. Here are the dancer charms close ups.</span></div>

Both these bags are made from upcycling unloved fabrics! the top bag has such a lovely soft lining with inside pocket and safety clip to attach your keys or phone (or child if you so wish!)<br />
<br />
the bottom bag I have adopted as my work bag! I love it! Whenever i make something new I try to use a sample to make sure the design is right and comfortable. This bag has been great but I have learnt that the handles need to be a little longer, I like to get a bag over my shoulder sometimes and these are a little small! The top bag has longer handles and is much more comfortable.<br />
<br />
Top bag is currently for sale. I will set up a new ReJenisis page soon so include everything available for sale and prices!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3099276504606993190.post-70652101810536202242012-09-03T06:25:00.002-07:002013-01-03T05:01:44.496-08:00ReJenisis and the Bobs!Well what a busy holiday!
