Just a note...

Just letting y'all know that I'm taking a break from hosting my weekend linky parties (as you may have noticed already)...I don't have time for them at the moment, but I'll think about bringing them back at a later stage once things have calmed down around here again!  :)

Who Made What? Weekends! #21!

Well, it's SORTA party #21.  If you'd like to link up something this weekend, please link it up with last week's linky party found just below this post!

We've been really busy around here with office work (annual tax recons - booo - and opening a new shop - yay), so I haven't got around to setting up a new linky party or anything, but I'll be back tomorrow to post my latest project! :)

Who Made What? Weekends! #20!

First, here's this week's feature from last week's link up...as voted for by you.......

Trisha from Roundabout's lamp make-over!

Isn't it so unique and lovely? She covered this lamp with book pages cut into circles.  I think it must add a lovely soft light to a room. :)

Thanx to everybody who linked up last week - I hope we'll see you back here this week with some more interesting projects to share. :)  So here goes.....

Who Made What? Weekends! #19

Thank you to everyone who linked up these past 2 weekends! Unfortunately I haven't had a chance to visit everyone from last weekend's party, but I'm so glad y'all stopped by and I hope to see you back again this weekend! :)
Ok, I'm doing 2 features this weekend because I didn't have time to do the feature for LAST weekends party, so here goes! :)
The featured creation for Who Made What? Weekends #17, as voted for by you, is..........for the second time in a row.........
Carol from The Answer is Chocolate with her Chico inspired jewellery!

She made them out of things you'd normally find in your garage and some pretty beaded components too.  Aren't they interesting? And so creative too with it's unusual "ingredients". :)

And then I chose a creation to feature from last weekend's link up (because I forgot to enable the voting thingy for y'all...oops), so this weekend's feature is............Cris from Crissy's Crafts with her soda can flower napkin rings!

As you know (or maybe not know), I love recycled crafts, and I love the way these napkin rings turned out!  such a classy end result from a totally unclassy soda can, hehe. :)

Now it's time to show us what you've been busy with!

Who Made What? Weekends! #18!

This is just a quick post, we've decided to go away last minute and I didn't have time to do the feature from last week, so I'll do 2 features next weekend!

Link up, link up, link up! :)

Who Made What? Weekends! #17!

I'll get right to it!

This week's feature from last week's link ups, as voted for by you, is.........for a second time.........

Carol from The Answer is Chocolate's decorated eggs!

 

Aren't they lovely?  I'm not one for decorating my home with eggs...because, well.....they're eggs! Hehe.  But she's made them so pretty with the soft colours, the tissue paper added for texture (or rather, the tissue paper was slapped & smooshed on - quoted from Carol's blog) and all those lovely embellishments, that I have to say that these are the first eggs I personally wouldn't mind decorating a table in my home with. :)

I never get bored with her creations.  Do take a few minutes to check out her blog - you'll find a talented crafty lady (with an amuzing way of wording her posts, hehe). :) 

Thanx to everybody who linked up last weekend! I hope we'll be seeing you back again this weekend! :)

Who Made What? Weekends! Party #16!

(Oi, this didn't post when it was supposed to earlier today!  Better late than never! )

It's time to link up your creations again! I hope you've been busy this week! :)

But first this week's feature!  The voting thingy seems to have gone all funny at the end, so it doesn't show who had the most votes - luckily I was keeping track of it and saw who reached the most votes first (you'll just have to trust me on this one, hehe).  SO, this week's feature from last weekend's link ups, as voted for by you is.......

......Jenny's repurposed T-shirt scarf (or bracelet!) over at Ms Not So Perfect!

Isn't it clever how she did this?  I'm guessing it makes for some nice & warm winter "jewellery", hehe.  (I don't really like putting on cold metal necklaces in winter)
She even made a cute bracelet out of it:

Check out her blog, she has some other crafty ideas, as well as lots of yummy recipes, and even cleaning & organizing tips. :)

I loved seeing what you all linked up last weekend...keep it comin'!

Who Made What? Weekends! Party #15!

This is gonna be a quick post 'cause it's my bed time and I need to get up early tomorrow!  So here goes....

Tnx to everybody who linked up their goodies last weekend, I had fun visiting your blogs. :)

This week's feature from last week's link ups, as voted for by YOU, is.......

......this sheet music dresser by Lori over at The Alligator Box!

Isn't it lovely? It was definitely one of my personal favourites as well. :)  Some time ago I saw someone in blogland decoupage a candle with sheet music and I immediately loved it!  Seeing these drawers covered in sheet music has got me thinking what else might look pretty decorated with sheet music....I think I have an idea already.... :D This should be fun.
Lori has a number of other really great and fancy furniture re-do's on her blog, do pay her a visit and have a look. :)

Well, it's time to link up again! :D  I'm looking forward to seeing what interesting crafts you all have in store for us this weekend! :)

Who Made What? Weekends! Party #14!

Welcome to this weekend's linky party! :D

I hope you'll join in and show us what creations you've been crafting recently. :)

But first, last week's featured creation, as voted for by you, is Carol from The Answer is Chocolate! She upcycled this can into a lovely storage item:

Isn't it lovely? I love her crafting, she has so many beautiful and elegant creations.  (Plus she has a few yummy chocolatey recipes on her blog too!).  I find her creations really inspirational - take a few minutes to go on over there and check her out. :)

Thanks to everyone who linked up their lovely creations -since I don't always have time to visit ALL my favourite blogs regularly, when I see one of you linking up, it gives me a good opportunity to pay you a visit again. :)

So.....let the link ups begin! :D

Thanx so much to all who linked up their lovely creations at last weekend's party, I loved checking them all out - so many fun and creative ideas, AND there was a new record of 39 link ups, wee hee! :D

Now, onto this week's feature...and thanx to your votes, it is none other than kind Monica and her beautiful card! :D  I love her cards, and am so glad that you guys appreciate her work as well! :)

I'm a big fan of her cards - it's like she makes them all just for me knowing exactly what I'd like. :)  If you haven't visited her blog yet or are not familiar with her cards, go pay her a visit at Handmade Cards With Love - you won't be disappointed!

But anyway...!  Before we get on with the party, here is this week's feature...as voted for by YOU...from last week's link ups.....

Well done to Amy from AliLilly, who linked up her summery kiddie's bedroom wall art creation!

And this is why you don't throw away pieces of cardboard!  :)  Isn't this just so cute?
And she made cute little grass out of tissue paper:

She has a lot of interesting creations on her blog, so go check her out!  And remember about her Etsy shop where she sells delightful beaded jewelleries!

Who Made What? Weekends! Party #11!

Ish, I really haven't been very creative this week! Hopefully my creative mojo will return next week. :)

But now onto this week's feature from last week's link ups!  Thanx so much to everybody who linked up, there was a new record of 32 link ups this time, wee hee! :D  There were a lot of lovely and cute creations last weekend!  But, for the last time, I've chosen one of MY favourites to feature (see why below!) - I especially invited her to link up one of her creations, because I think it is amazing! I'm sure you will too....so....this week's feature is.....

...these beautiful flowery creations from Neryal over at The Art Of Sugar Floristry!
Just look at these amazing flowers that she's made from gum paste (if I have that correct)!  Some of my favourites:

Are they gorgeous or what?! And they couldn't look more real...


To see more, go visit her blog - you won't be disappointed! :)


And now, let's get on with the party!  This week I'm trying something new - from now on YOU'LL be voting for your favourite link ups, and I'll feature the one most voted for!  I hope you'll participate and find this more fun! :)  So let's see how it goes this week.  Can't wait to see what y'all have to link up this weekend! :D

Who Made What? Weekends! Party #10!

Before I begin with the feature and linky party, I've been thinking of incorporating a voting system, so that you guys can vote for your favourite creations submitted here, and then I'll feature the creation most voted for - this just sounds more fun to me. :D  Would any of y'all take part in something like that?  Please leave me a comment and let me know, thanx! :)

Now, onto featuring YOUR creation from last week's link up! :)
