Merry Christmas! We woke to a lovely Christmas morning. We even got a dusting of snow overnight for a white Christmas! The clouds are moving out so we won’t get any more snow but it is incredibly windy but will make for a good day to stay inside and spend a lovely day with my beloved and our kittens. Soon the kitchen will be smelling divine as Christmas dinner will be put in the oven. […]
READ MOREHere is the final tag for the 12 Tags of Christmas – Funkie Junkie style! I started it very early this morning as the snow was falling and while we didn’t get much snow out of this storm it’s making for a very, very chilly day!

READ MOREAfter a long week at work, I came home waiting for the “storm” that’s supposed to move in and give us some snow. I’m still hoping for a white Christmas but it’s really unlikely. So after I brushed out the knots in my hair created by the wind when I went for a walk at lunch, I headed to my craft room to work on the week 11 tag for the 12 tags of Christmas Funkie Junkie style. The challenge is generously sponsored by the Funkie Junkie Boutique. Technically there is still time to join in on the fun of the challenge but time is short! You can find all of the rules on Linda’s blog. […]

READ MOREWell, I did it. One of my New Year’s resolutions for this year was to participate in each of the Frilly & Funkie challenges. I managed each one of them – sometimes with awesome results and sometimes with some not-so-awesome results. Over the year though I have picked up new techniques, pushed my boundaries a bit, and enjoyed every minute of it. The last project for the year on the Frilly and Funkie blog is a Home for the Holidays challenge and the challenge is generously sponsored and supported by the Funkie Junkie Boutique. […]
READ MOREI’m catching up….really! A wintery blast has come our way this week but not near enough snow yet! Even still we inch closer to Christmas and I’m on Week #9 of the 12 Tags of Christmas – Funkie Junkie style. I’m 75% done which, unfortunately, is not near the percentage of my Christmas shopping that’s done. <sigh> […]
READ MOREAdmittedly I’m behind on my Christmas tags but not too much! This weekend put my oven into full swing for the holidays – a long, slow 4 hour bake for a traditional English Christmas cake. Now, to “feed” the cake brandy for the next three weeks! I did, however, manage to get some time in my craft room and first up was the Week #8 Christmas tag for the 12 tags of Christmas -- Funkie Junkie style. There is still time for you to join in the challenge! The challenge is sponsored by the Funkie Junkie Boutique and the challenge rules and inspiration can be found on the Funkie Junkie blog. […]
READ MOREWe have officially moved into the “Christmas season” at our house but I had one more Autumn/Thanksgiving project to make this weekend. The current challenge on the Frilly and Funky blog is a Bountiful Harvest. The challenge is generously sponsored by the Funkie Junkie Boutique. To be honest, I was really pushing it this holiday week with all of the baking for Thanksgiving and then decking the house and my office with Christmas trees and garland. I think I will be wearing glitter for the next month after putting up 20+ garlands and 10+ trees. So it was a bit of a relief to work with some of the rich hues of autumn for this project. […]
READ MOREHello! I hope everyone had a lovely Thanksgiving holiday! We had a lovely dinner with friends, I tried out new recipes, and my house is now all decked out for Christmas. It has been a busy weekend. I worked on the 12 Tags of Christmas – Funkie Junkie Style too! I’m a little bit behind but as long as I get them done by the end of the challenge it’s all good. The challenge is generously sponsored by the Funkie Junkie Boutique. You can find all of the rules and requirements on Linda’s blog. Today’s tag is inspired by Linda’s tag from Week #7. […]
READ MOREHello! As we head into the Thanksgiving weekend our house smells of apple pie! I’ve been baking and making pastry for the last couple of days. I have a couple more pies to make for family friends and one for my beloved and then I turn the kitchen over to him so he can start making the savory dishes. Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. […]
