I made a gift recently of an owl egg cozy for a grown-up girl who loves owls, the colour red and handmade things. This owl has found a happy home, and will probably be enjoyed by my friend’s one year old daughter as well.

.craft drought. September 8, 2011
I have really missed being creative in the craft area in recent times…life has been full of many things, but that has not included much crafting! So I am attempting to pick up somewhere I left off a couple of months ago.
Here are a couple of cards I got around to, plus the original cards that got me started on them.
You’re So Special by Kiara Lee (Cards Magazine, Jan 2010)
Happy Birthday by Alisha Gordon (Cards Magazine, Jan 2010)
I am about to head off on holiday with the fam, so I’m hopeful there will be some relaxing days whre I can enjoy making some bits and pieces again.
Love Ruth xx
.so many ideas, so little time. July 22, 2011
I wish I didn’t need sleep. Then I could complete all the things I need to do as well as enjoy endless creative time. But as it turns out, I am one of those people that needs an optimum amount of 9 hours sleep a night. So annoying. That doesn’t work so well when you are a night owl and get woken up in the mornings by small people being very loud!! But as much as I’d love to be a 7-hours-of-sleep-morning-person, I would not change the small, loud people part ever!
So in the interest of not dropping off the blogosphere, I am posting these random creative projects tonight before heading off to bed.
(I like the fighting robots in the background!)
I didn’t make the dress, just the flower on it.
Lollypop birthday card…
…with felt lollypop fridge magnet attached.
Hope you enjoyed these projects, and hope you have a fabulous weekend ahead of you!

.baby blues. April 18, 2011
If anyone has had or has observed the ‘baby blues’, as they call it, you will know it’s not a fun part of early parenting days. But these baby blues are not the kind I am thinking of right now…I’m talking about the colour blue as the basis for a new baby card. (o:
The design for this card was taken from a previous card that I made for a baby girl, just with a different colour theme.
It was supposed to be exactly the same, but in blue instead of pink. But if you know me, you know I just can’t help myself and had to make it a little bit different to the original:
Either way, I love the ‘Always’ stamp set from Stampin’ Up! That bird is so cute, and I have made so many cards & projects from it. Thanks to my lovely friend Amanda for surprising me with it as a gift on my doorstep one day! (You can visit her lovely blog at Blue Paper Doll).
