Day 182 celebrating the halfway mark!!!

Yep! today is officially the halfway mark for the 365 day project! and what did i do to celebrate?? I made craft of course!
I wanted to work on a few projects today so I was a little ahead of time (I always start with the best intentions on finishing 7 projects in 1 day... and then work on about 4 different things and possibly finish 1!)
So today I set off to the shops with a list of materials which I needed for all these projects, I got home, made a cup of tea and got started with the glue gun. I'd bought 5 packets of glue sticks for the glue gun because I keep running out! and then ten minutes into the project BANG! AND A BIG PUFF OF SMOKE! the glue gun had exploded and shorted the power! So there I was with 5 packets of glue, all my materials and a dead glue gun!!!! so I had to head back down the road to buy another one!
Anyways, tonight's project is below...

Lots of glue!!!

Day 173-Chirpy yellow for a grey day

Today I have spent the day cleaning the house all day!!! and its a friday.... its not just any friday, its my very first friday off, as I have now dropped down to four days a week at work YIIIPPPPPEEEEE!!!
Its the first time since...pretty much ever that I am not working fulltime! I know its only one extra day a week, but it will go a long way to giving me more time for the blog/ wedding/ breathing space!!

Today's craft involves some...
- super bright yellow felt
- a pile of black bits and bobs (buttons, beads, lace motifs)
and hot mr gluey gun

I have discovered a long lost love.... the hot glue gun!
oh the instant gratification of glueing this to that!
Today's craft is fun and easy!
you will need-
-magnet backs
-some nic nacks (buttons, vintage clip on earrings etc)
-hot glue gun

magnets and nic nacks
vintage clip on earrings work well, just pull the back off and glue gun the magnet on
the trusty glue gun!
fun fridge!
