It's Wednesday means some cool things in the Howard home this week. Firstly, it's the NZ premier of "The Block". The kids and I have been waiting for a new reality show to start and so we have a 'Block Party" planned. It involves PJs, beanbags, pillows and this. You know. A block for a block party.
Wednesday also means this, in our house... Abby finally losing a front tooth. We've been expecting this for a year or two now, she is 8 1/2 years old so it's been a long time coming. As soon as the tooth came out the other one dropped into the middle. Abby now does an incredibly excellent impression of Nanny McPhee.
Wednesday also meant a trip into town for the library, supermarket and the hat shop, apparently. Because "everyone else has one of those haaaaaats".
Mix the two together and you get this... she could kill me with her one toofed cuteness right now.
Wednesday also means it's only ONE more week before I stop all my trademe auctions for molds, resin, washi and kits and go to Hamilton to set the booth up at SENZ. It's likely I will not be restocking my supplies when they sell out. If you want any of those things or know anyone that does, order this week. I only got the stock in for SENZ in the first place, so once it's gone, it's gone. (Seriously, I'm pulling it all from sale in the hopes of selling out, I know that's going to freak a lot of you out lol)
WEdnesday also means the day after Tuesday. When I created this.
And then after I created that, I created this.
I'm on a super Finn-inspired kick right now, I can't seem to create any other way.
Two cool things though:
1. If you want to see a demo on how I created these tags, come see me at SENZ, at the demo theatre. 11.30am on Friday and 2.30pm on Saturday. You'll see chipboard being used, resin pieces being made, painting, colouring embelishing, it'll be awesome.
2. IF you want step by step instructions with full photos on creating these tags, join me for Dimensional Details.. The tags arecreated by me but inspired by Finnabair... who also guests in the workshop. That's some seriously fun creating, huh?

I can't wait for the Block and I too am looking forward to it. I hope it comes across as being good or even better than the ozzie version. As some programmes they film there don't translate well over here, e.g Master Chef. Awww at Abby she looks stinking adorable with the hat and the missing tooth/Nanny McPhee look. Eeeeks at the sale, looks like I should get some more washi, or ask Bev to grab me some when she is up there with Crafthouse.

Maaaarvellous choc block, eh? Didn't get to see The Block last night but hope to catch tonight's episode.
Eeeeeeeveryone has those hats. Almost fourteen yr old grandson bought one at the Fieldays - a tiger and he wears it a lot especially in this cold weather.
Tags fab. Will be coming to watch you at SENZ and check out that washi tape.

I can't make SENZ and am wondering if you can tell me what the coating is on the large rose on the tag? It almost looks like an embossing powder? - Thx

Abby, I have a similar hat....but the ties on the side go all the way down to your hips, so you can put your hands into the little paws that are on the end!!!!! I bought mine last fall as soon as I accidentally found them online!
Great minds think alike!
