YouTube Crafty Treat

Its probably been seen by many before but I just had to share.


Some may say ‘Whats the point in that?”


I say, its a very creative mind at work. Think of the presentational opportunities for chefs (with hygienic gloves or something of course ;))!!

Thank you, Nina :)

Best surprise ever.

Big hugs for you!

Also... i may be getting back into sculpey :o I haven't touched my stash of the stuff for a long time now. But as i'm gearing towards supplies, i think i will make some charms. I have looked into buying some plastic/acrylic etc ones... but to be honest im not sure of the quality. Like the paint is all over the place and although they are cute, i just don think its good enough. So. Wish me luck.

...Still no joy for the screen printing either. The sun doesn't want to come out when i'm available to do it!! Doh.

I have fallen in love with a few of the patterns in Rowans 'Big It Up' Pattern book.

Alas, the yarn is priced at £7.25 a ball :/ Its a pitty the store i work at doesn't carry all the colours as i could save a hefty 25%. Even so, the projects would still cost around £50

Maybe i should start playing the lottery :3

In other news...

Projects are ticking along behind the scenes. Now that the cameras battery can charge ( i think i broke the charger... >.>; ) i will be taking some pictures shortly.

In the meantime, i'm off to Weymouth tomorrow. It will be nice to get away from here, even if its only for the day. I love beaches. Doesn't matter where, i love them. I feel at home. And boy, does that sound corny :3

New Home Of Tomatotea's Blog

The trial for Tomatotea.co.uk is going to run out soon. I haven't been updating it as much as i should have. So, instead of paying for another year or two I have decided to make Blogger my new blog of choice.

No portfolio. No point.

Then again, theres still deviantArt. I hear they're making a 'portfolio' option for subscribers so that could be an option.

Anyway, i WILL update more often ;)

*Posts from Tomtotea.co.uk archived*

Still here

Blast it. I haven't updated here in a while, I've been meaning to but never got round to it. I think its because i was so worked up about a job interview that i fudged.

A proper update will be posted tomorrow. This is kind of a 'I'm still alive' post ;)

But in other news, veronica1566 of Etsy has featured Grapevine in her Etsy Treasury. Be sure to check out her selection :D

Dying, Baking and Tagged

Busy busy again.

I've dyed some more yarn today, expect to see photos of those soon :) In the meantime, heres yesterdays fun:

Grapevine will be available on Etsy 2008/03/08

And todays fun, aside from dying yarn, involved baking:

The kitchen smells wonderful at the moment!

Hope you guys havent been tagged with this meme before!

Thank you, Simply Knitting!

Wow.

Just wow. I wasn't expecting this at all. I'd completely forgot about entering a competition in Simply Knitting Magazine. I have never won anything in my life and it was only on the off chance I entered.
It was funny when the Postie came to the door. I was sure i didnt order any more yarn etc, so i wasnt expecting a package. But as soon as I opened it i realised! It was such a great feeling, especially with things not being so fantastic at the moment. Maybe someone out there does like me :p

I think I will enter more magazine competitions in future :)

Because Quizes Are Fun
