Twiddleybtz "LOVE" Village



Hiya All
I haven't blogged for 3 months ....wow......just dont have as much time , as I used to.  New job keeping me busy, but not so much time to Scrap.  However, here is my latest Twiddleybitz mini house project.   Yes..... I'm still loving those tiny houses.  This is the Twiddleybits Christmas Advent house, without all the little cubbyholes.  And of course, about three packets of miniature houses.
Thanks for looking....

Twiddleybitz Hanging Birdcage Village

Hello ..........well back again...not as often as I should...I know !!!!!!  But anyone who knows me....knows I luuuuuvvv   mini houses....especially Twiddleybitz mini houses......They are very versatile, and I have used them many times.....I am working on another project, with the Twiddleybitz mini houses, that will show them to be more than just the 3 sizes you see in the packets.   This was great fun to make and I love incorporating the beading....with my projects..... 
The circular base of my "birdcage" was made with the Twiddleybitz circular Printers Tray.   I drilled holes in the scallops, and threaded wire for the cage.    I love how the colors turned out, even though I wasn't convinced after I started covering houses with green paper.....but I think the addition of the blue/cream saved the color scheme.......

I also added more beading underneath !!!!!

Well, I hope you like .....Try some mini houses.....they are so much fun...my favorite thing ATM !!!!

My Little Twiddley Village

My poor neglected blog........ I have been soooo busy lately, I haven't made the time to post anything at all...but...I have been creating...so a few new things to show..... Firstly, as you probably know, I luv the Twiddeybitz houses......luv em.  So another project using them....My Twiddley Village !!!!  


In addition to the Twiddley Mini houses, I used a Funky Church, a Big Ben clock and a small bridge.  The base I've used for this little town is the Twiddleybitz Shelf.  I altered it, by cutting the Flourish off the bottom, so it could stand freely on the base.   I have another idea forming using.....Yessss... more houses.
But until then...another project to show.....

A Twiddleybitz Tophat......I really love these neutral colors, and have used them for many projects.   The Tophat is a kit that can be purchased from Twiddleybitz.  Just choose your papers and your theme !!!
Thats all for today.....will be back soon (I promise) to post more pics........

"My Wishes for you"




Well, Christmas is over for another year....and the New Year is looking promising already !!!!  I have been working on a few new things , but not allowed to show yet ....LOL  However, I have been trying to finish up some half finished projects, before I start any NEW ones.... and here is one that I just love!!!  My DD
is very photogenic, and so I had to use up some of her beautiful photos....and of course...heaps of Twiddleybitz !!!!!    Cutting the Wishing Well on an angle was a little tricky, but I love how it turned out.
The Poem reads

My wishes for you……..
To be in love with life each day
To keep your sense of wonder, and ability to play
To always pay attention, to the dreams within your heart,
And always have the faith to try, or make a brand new start…
The knowledge that there’s meaning, in the things you chose to do
And the certainty you’re cared about, for simply being you
I wish for you a world of joy, to share and pass along
The gift of those who make you laugh, and keep you going strong
Everything that will make you happy, everything that will keep you feeling
Fulfilled, and in love with life
..thats what I wish for you.

TTFN
