Chicken Soup Recipe #30

Finally, it's finished! Old gig tickets that I've been meaning to do something with for ages and ages.

Thanks ladies!Inspiration here

Shows a slightly dodgy music past, with some good ones and a lot of excellent ones that have been lost in time and space- wish I'd managed to hold onto them all :)

Waxwing!

Yes, a waxwing graced us with his presence in January...we were so excited to see one this far west! He was incredibly easy going and a wonderful model as he withstood the 700+ shots I got of him, Overkill I hear you say? Nope, I was shaking, some over-exposed, some under...nightmare! But I got some very good shots all the same. Digi is fantastic!

Nature at it's best-yes spring has sprung

A few piccies from the last couple of days- I just love this time of the year!

Above is mama frog and to the right, hopefully her babies! The water is dark and horrid looking but it's a bog ditch-the peat makes it that dark,dirty colour










A few little birdies caught on camera-they are so so busy right now

Top-  Great-Tit
Middle- Robin singing it's heart out
left- Blue-Tit queuing for his turn at the feeder. This feeder is busier than Heathrow, hence the holding patterns observed by all

Chicken Soup Recipe #31

I am working on recipe #30, but already had a project that I finished last week that suits recipe #31 perfectly!
Not a cupcake or papercraft, but a cake made for a 50th birthday party.
I love sugarcraft but don't do it often enough anymore and even less if it's for someone I don't know. I get way too stressed about it.
Anyway here it is :)
The candles I bought, but the rest I made...had a few mistakes because I haven't done it for a while, but as they say, practise makes perfect.

I also made a card, just because I wanted to play with the cricut :)

I'm holding it up because as usual when I'd finished it was dark....hard to get a good shot!

Love glitter baby!!!

Chicken Soup Recipe #28 and 29

Right, so back to crafting after a major re-jig of the craft room, which is now also a gym...hmmmmm
While we (I) were busy getting it reorganised, I couldn't reach or find any of my stuff, but slowly we're getting back to normal. I had a chance to do a couple of things today before the decks have to be cleared to do a cake tomorrow. Busy busy!
So first to recipe 28- which you can see here

I was quite literal with the interpretation, but as I got this gorgeous new stuff for my kitchen from my lovely Mum and sisters, it seemed to fit nicely.

and for recipe #29 here I had the perfect photo from last weekend. On our way home from our unsuccessful owl spotting excursion, we saw thousands of crows roosting in the trees. They made a fantastic silhouette against the darkening, blue sky. It's a very simple Layout, but I like it.

Thanks for looking! :)

Chicken Soup Recipe #25

Lots of birthdays coming up so here's another card :)

Chicken Soup Recipe #23 and 24

After a craft-free diet for most of the last month, I finally got a few bits done yesterday. Waiting for phone calls and deliveries seems to be good for the crafter!
This is one I made for hubbies birthday next week and was inspired by recipe #23....

This second one (Chicken soup #24) is a layout of the best holiday ever, I've scrapped these photos before but in a mini album, so I wanted to get them into a main album and the colours worked perfectly!
Thanks for the inspiration ladies, love logging on every Friday :) Check them out if you haven't already http://mojoschickensoup.blogspot.com/

A few tags I made before Christmas, for the 12 days of Christmas on the blog, but never got around to posting- doh!
