I did manage spend an hour with my family which I was gutted about, as it was only an hour but Payton lurved Easter bless her & her smiles & giggles c.

Anyhoos onto the new challenge over at Midweek Magnolia's this week which is.........
HOW CHARMING
.......yep all you gotta do is add a charm, simples ;0)
Now I have made a hanging............will explain where for later in the post......

I have used gorgeous papers from one of the new Prima pads, OMG this one is my fave & I have to get more!!! As you can see I've also used one of the gorgeous new MF Hangers Teresa has recently got in, lurve these!!

I've used a few dies on this lol, list will be at the bottom. I've also used 2 charms from my stash, the sewing machine I think was from Ebay ages ago. Ive used a 'Love Hanger' with MB 'Dress' die & I've added 'Tulle Trim' to act like a dress ;0)

I've used MB 'Thread Spool' die & wrapped Bakers Twine around them. I made a tag from fabric in my stash, which is also where the buttons, ribbon & lace is from. Stickers to make 'Create' which I've had for soooooooooooo long!!!

Ok so now for an explanation as to why we are so busy at the mo. Well as you know I gave up my hobbit in the garden to breed cats, unfortunately however that cant happen cus of health reason........which I wont get into at the mo, as tests are still on-going. Anyway I've been crafting in the living area's in our home.
That is a HUGE no no, I hate the mess, seriously I spend more time cleaning & tidying then I do crafting, I miss having a room of my own where I can shut the door & no-one has to see the mess.
Hubby & no other member of the family mind..........its just me, it gets on my nerves, so much so I nearly gave up crafting..............
However hubster was not pleased with that one so he is re-doing the 'Hobbit' for me to go back into, yayyyyy, a craft room of my own again lol. When he started ripping everything out the plan wasn't to do the floor, however the cowl had been leaking in on the wood burner & soaked all the floor. So the floor came up yesterday & he has to re-do that then re-lay flooring. This is what it looks like at present, well what half the room looks like lol. This is where the hanger is made for, my new craft room ;0)
I will be selling my big cupboard once I'm back in there but I'm keeping the new desk & drawers. The worst thing was I only ever emptied half of my craft room..........so everything is now dumped in the conservatory, there is mess everywhere lol. Also I decide while hubster is doing that outside I should start decorating inside..........not the cleverest of idea's I've had lol.
