what have you done to deserve this??!!
just wanted to show you lucy's new wallet she has made for her friends 18th tonight.
all recycled from a pair of her old jeans and the bib and braces from the top of a pinny that charlie cut off and turned into a skirt. she has modified this one with a magnetic clasp and stiffenned the two outside panels with cardboard.
looks amazing , i hope her friend likes it.
she has used the hems off everything for the tops of the card pockets.
the back has plastic pocket for her myki bus card so it can be scanned directly onto the bus without taking out, clever!!!
i said she shouldve pressed the red taffetta but she said that she liked it creased, 'it went with the look'
and heres 3 atc's i have made a little while ago using twinklings, not much of a 'watercolorer' but sometimes simple is good.
i think lately i have been a bit overwhelmed with all thats going on, rotary, debs and work that i am trying to cut the clutter from my life and simplify things. im probably also a bit frustrated because i havent made anything for a while and am getting itchy fingers.
i call these my 'shower designs' cos my inspiration came from a hair and blob of soap on the shower screen.
lol now you'll think im nuts!!!
for trade
lonely house traded
just traded
oh and theres a link to the side for itkupilli, she is having a giveaway, love her collage sheets....

What a clever girl your daughter is, I wonder who she takes after??lol, I love the ATC's thats one thing I have yet to try but you've inspired me. Thank you for your lovely comments on my blog. I am thrilled.
Love what your daughter made and what a fantastic gift it makes!
Your ATCs are fab ... interesting inspiration too ;) we'll take inspiration wherever we can get it!!!
I begin to feel out of balance if I don't make something, so I know what you're saying Jen
a very crafty girl you have there! I think she needs to get her own etsy store up and running!!!
Lucy is very clever and talented like her mum! Am sure her friend loved the wallet.
And your new ATC's are gorgeous. I love that style and think they are lovely. Would love to do a ATC trade with you again at some stage (no pressure as to when of course).

P.S Love that your got inspiration for your art in the shower - we women are good at multi tasking!
P.P.S Your new work space in the post below looks lovely - and so very neat :)
Lucy's wallet is wonderful! What a talented girl. I love your ATCs too. Hugs, Diane
Love your ATC's, do you still have one up for trade?? I've got an ARtoscope card left that's on my blog or I can make something new. Your choice!
Hope your having a great day!
Hi Jen - your daughter is obviously following in Mum's footsteps - very creative and nicely funky!! I'm up for a trade if you still have one left...your ATCs are so sweet they make me smile.
What sweet little ATC's and the wallet is so fun! Lucky you to have a daughter who likes to sew. Mine wants nothing to do with it. She would rather me sew her curtain and hem her pants. Wonder what she will do when I am gone. lol
Great ATC's Jen....I love the simplicity and the subtle colours (sometimes you're just in the mood for them aren't you?).
What a clever and innovative daughter you have. That wallet is very funky!!!
