We are off to see the Royal Signal White Helmets on Sunday.
They are doing their display at the May Fair in Durweston Primary School.
Pop along (if local) to the Tea Tent and you will see our ribbons decorating the flowers.
This got me thinking about today’s Friday FREEBIE prize…………
………how about a super collection of all things white.
White ribbon and white buttons.
Just leave us a comment below for a chance to go into the Bingo Bag.

Have fun this weekend.
Hello wednesday–racing car cake
07/05/2014
Morning everyone, how are you today?
What a fantastic Bank Holiday weekend, the weather was a delight.
Both my cakes turned out well, although took a lot longer then planned.
This is the cake I made for Bev’s husband Greg,
like Tony he is a bit of a petrol head.
It was also a BIG birthday – (check out the numbers on the racing cars!)
It is the first time I have been able to pick and choose what “boy ribbons” I could use.
The NEW racing car ribbons here were just what I needed.
The 9mm width is perfect for around the cake boards
I have never made anything as fancy as this before, it took me 4 hours!
I had real problems with the car spoilers, they kept flopping.
I was just being impatient and would not allow them to dry.
The cake went down a storm, although Greg was very embarrassed when the restaurant
all sang Happy Birthday to him as the cake was walked to the table.
The best bit………………….it tasted yummy.
Spring mega clear up

Our Rachie is on a mission.
A simple one really………………
…..to make more space in the warehouse!!!
First she attacked the Bargain Ribbon aisle and added these
Yesterday she was working in the ribbon pack aisle
AND did this!!
reduced all the packs to £1
she also did a stock take, so when they are gone…………they are gone.
Find all the £1 packs here
Not sure I am totally happy leaving Rachie in the warehouse on her own at the moment.
I have no idea what she has planned next!
Today is Thursday, so it must be the start of our new challenge.
Everyone likes
this theme……………
Anything goes with ribbon.
Dawn has made this stunning card, using our pirate ribbon.
Check out the challenge blog for the other girls creations.
Or……even better………
Have a great day.
Hello wednesday - waves
30/04/2014
Morning everyone – guess what it is not raining yet here in Dorset today.
Amazing!
Another one of my drawings today, this time I made it for Mollie.
She wanted a fish. Syd and Sam have fishes you see.
The jumbo ric rac was perfect to make the waves. Find it here
You may have wondered why I have been Zen doodling of late.
Simple…….
Tony has banned ribbons and buttons from home.
He decided that my play pen (my three seater seetee) had got out of control.
Never!
I was then spending far too much time on my ipad, not good.
All you need for zentangle is paper, pen and pencil……………
…………ummmmmm………….
that's what I started with a few weeks back!
My collection has grown to two drawing pads, several pencils.
All the widths of black pens.
Ooooh and some coloured pencils, and pens and…….
But it is fun and very easy to do.
Have a great day.
Bargain rolls
29/04/2014
Phew Rachie had me working hard yesterday, taking lots of pictures.
I have had to charge my camera battery!
She has but oodles of bargain ribbon rolls onto the website.
From satin edge sheer
to wire edges mesh ribbon
Lots of different types, textures, widths and colours.
From as little as 5.5p per mtr, these really are bargain rolls.
Find them all here

they are gone forever!

It is the first day of our Easter showcase of ribbon goodness!
Today we are sponsored by
Stitchey Bear digi outlet
They have given us some super images to play with. Sydney (my niece aged 8)
spied them and asked if she could make her grandma an Easter card.
Delighted that she still enjoys crafting with me, I printed the butterfly
image out for her and gave her my box of promarkers and anything she wanted to use
from the warehouse.
I was not expecting this.
It is awesome Syd, I do hope grandma likes it.

and add your name to the list for today’s prize. You will also find lots of other creations to look at.
Sydney has put together a special ribbon candy, just to say thanks for stopping by and looking at her card.
Bet you can not guess the colours!
To win Syd’s Candy please leave her a comment and she will pick a winner on Sunday the 27th.
I am sure Syd will be checking often to see if she has any new comments!!
Have a great Good Friday.
