Hey there!!! Long time; no see. And I've finally figured out why!! I think it's because I haven't been taking photos. I've been a bit discouraged with my photographs every since we got a new lens. I'm not blaming my equipment (:)), but it's taking me a while to get used to it.
So, I've got to lug my beloved camera around and just practise practise practise.
Anyways, here's what I have been up to... Fabric Origami Boxes. I bet you would not have put fabric and origami together, eh? Eh? Eh? But yes, they can and I did and it worked. It worked wonderfully.
Here's my latest project... with me going back to my card making as well which is a bonus... Blank cards (with matching envelopes) inside fabric boxes.
This was a present for a friend of my Dear Husband whom I knew would appreciate it. And she did. And the funny thing (well, to me anyway), was that I gave the present with no card. I HATE writing in greeting cards, therefore I HATE giving cards, therefore I almost always never give a card with my presents. But I do enjoy making them cards...
The book I used for the fabric boxes was this. But once you know how to turn your plain ole fabric into origami-able (not an acceptable word in Words with Friends, but it should be, don't you think? But I digress.. where was I? Oh yes...) once you know how to turn your plain ole fabric into origami-able fabric, then the world wide web is your oyster. Or however that saying goes.
What else has been happening at chez moi?
A bit of baking...
A spot of mothering... (hello Ms A!)
And watching my littlies growing up... here's Little Miss M and Ms A keeping each other company.
Eh - she's multitasking... sleeping and keeping her big sis company!
And keeping Baby Mac out of mischief... although in this instance, it was cleaning up after a spot of mischief...
*sigh* I didn't really need that whole tub of vaseline anyway *sigh*
