Deck the halls with rats called Polly, fa la la la laaa, lala la la.

Kishcrafts is a goddess of temptation and has opened discussion for the 12 Days of Christmas Swap, and now i'm obsessively checking the discussion thread for the post saying 'you know what guys, lets start now! 3 and half months early isn't THAT early!' even though i know its not going to happen.

Darren doesnt do Christmas decorating usually, so this is his first year with me in tow and it might be a bit of a shocker.

I just have SO many ideas whirling around in my head for it. I may in fact end up making other people hampers for Christmas of similar or applicable crafties. Its a bit of a mission to craft 78 items in total - yeah, its the 12 days of christmas, so each day you open another box and you get however many gifts for the applicable day, but not necessarily drummers-drumming if you get my drift.

I have ideas for Christmas cards but i know i'll forget, so memo to self here, DR ZEUS THE GRINCH CARDS.

Ta for now.

Morgan's Treasure - Fair Preparation

I make pedbeds and tunnels for small animal cages.
Yep.
I also bake like a mad-baking-thing for not just humans, ho-no. I have researched various pets nutrition and i've developed a range of recipes for treats for pets ranging from mice to dogs which are both healthy and benefitical. Eitherhoodle, i was invited to hold a stall for my goodies at the local Party In The Park! Its going to be a blast! Or at least i hope it is. :3
Eitherway, i've been sewing and baking pretty much constantly for a few weeks now in preparation of it all, that and making up bags and labels and a magazine with ingredients - all very hectic and frankly, i cant wait for it to be over. It would be way more managable if it wasn't for the fact that i was asked to hold a pet education and cuddles tent as well on the same day, so am having to organise both and run both. Not easy i can assure you. Either way, we're collecting ferrets, tortoises and guinea pigs to be added to my own rattie crew to take a long for the day.

Not all bad, at least the animals can model my goods for me :D

I'll no doubt take photos and post them, lets see if the last sewing machine needle can hold out much longer. o.O

Just noticed theres a wasp in the room.

*vacates*

The Everything Harry Potter Swap was my first swap on Craftster and i lurved eet. My partner was the wanderful Annie/Sirensrising whom i shall pop the blog up of in the linkies in just a bit.

I am also going to steal her photography as i'm sure she wont mind, as i forgot to take pictures of the goodies myseld :3

I are a muppet.

Amongst the treasures i made for my Potter-fanatical-friendie were 2 T-shirts, 2 book marks, a pensieve [contained paperweight type thinger], some potions pots filled with bath crystals and alike, a Honeydukes shopping bag, a Regulus pendent locketyjigger and i think that was it.

Behold! My first swapsie. :3

Wahoo, new blog.

Yeah, so i've crafted since i was born, i swear mum just got right in there and put a paintbrush in my hand within the first few hours of life. I feel at peace and all missiony when i'm crafting, and i love crafting for others, yay for swaps! <3 Craftster.

So since i found my release for crafting, Craftster, i've not really honestly stopped. I mean, i always made handmade cards and stuff as i went along in life, but rarely did i *make* anything substancial. And now i do! :D In fact i am usually making something, be it in baked form, sewn form, beaded, polymer clayed, you name it.

I figure seeing as i do it so often, and i generally dont show people, i really should start doing so!
So without further a do, i'll get you up to speed. Hold onto yer pants.
