What I have been up to!

2011-12-12T21:23:00.001+00:00

Sorry for lack of updates but just been a bit manic lately, been doing lots of cupcakes, made 36 for my daughters friends birthday then another 48 for a charity event at her college :)

I have also tried toffee apples

Made some crystal poppies which I gave 100% to the poppy appeal

Made a sweetie tree

covered a tatty notice board which I cant wait to do again :)

My latest nappy cake

And my latest jewellery which I am loving doing is my scrabble tiles, made them into necklaces and rings which have been popular :)

and I even tried a shamballa

phew, I have enjoyed my last feww months but have a lot more stuff to do for mr santa clause :)

Buggy board on a phil and teds sport buggy

2011-09-28T13:16:00.000+01:00

Not my usual posts but thought this might be a worthwhile thing for some mums and fellow child carers, I recently bought a new baby jogger city select and needed a buggy board, I had tried many site for their own brand and came across loads of problems with delivery of them from manufacturer, so I asked on a facebook group called pushchair trader, and they pointed me in the direction of the bumprider they were selling alongside a full review of the product, it came and has to be the quickest and easiest to fit buggy board I have ever used.

Now for the exciting bit, I upgraded my pram because I could not get a board to fit my P&T, so whilst with my friend we were chatting about the board and when looking at it thought it might fit the P%T, so we tried it and YES YES YES it fits, WITH the doubles kit on and a 3 year old on the back, the breke works fine if you lift the board up a bit before applying, the child had enough room to stand comfortably and he could hold onto the second seat or the side of the handles :)

You need the typical stance of pushing most buggies with a board attached, you know the one where your bum sticks out but it was pushable and still easy enough to manoeuvre, I am slightly gutted I have just forked out £650 for a new pram and then discovered this but hey hum at least it might help someone :)

A huge thankyou to Pushchair Trader for their quick posting and fab review of the product, it is a nice easy to use buggy board and fits the P&T :)

Mould making

2011-08-25T07:37:00.000+01:00

I have really enjoyed making my moulds, I have even been selling them and have had some great feedback :)

I am finding sculpey accents or fimo classic is the easiest clay, the others can go too soft and hard to release without damaging the mould.

Sculp

ey have some lovely colours too :)

milky stars sweet flexible mold mould for fimo, sculpy

2011-08-14T18:24:00.001+01:00

So here you go, they are great, can't wait to use them in my jewellery, I also done a gummy bear whilst I was on :)

Fimo/polymer clay moulds

2011-08-01T19:16:00.000+01:00

Decided to try and make some fimo moulds, and loved the final finish, really easy to use, I used a 2 part flex compound, it took a full tub until I had the technique off but now love making them :)
