Ruby Update

Hello Everyone,

It's me Ruby and it's ages since I was here for a chat.  This is me sat in my favourite spot on the back of the sofa looking through the window.

I do, of course, bark at any body that dares to walk past my house. Just to let them know how fierce I am and dangerous to strangers.  Don't I look it ???

I have been enjoying walks with my mum but just recently I have developed a lump on my shoulder. 

My mum has had me to the vet and she said she doesn't think it is serious but as a precautionary measure it would be best to have it removed and checked.

So I will need an operation and then it will be sent to a laboratory for testing. We will have to wait for the results.

 I feel fine and it doesn't stop me going out and running around or barking but I will let you know how I go on and the results. Wish me luck for the end of the month and my op.

Lots of love 

Ruby xx

Hexagonal Box Collection

 Hi Everybody,

Thank you for joining Lou and I on Facebook Live yesterday and I am so sorry for all the issues with playing the video. 

It was the same issue on YouTube also, so no matter where you went the video would not play without a lot of interruptions.

 I have added the complete video here so that you can watch it without the stops and starts and hopefully you will  enjoy it without any messing about.

I also have another video to add yet, but that will be next week and that will show you yet another way to create the box in another size, and so give you more from your dies.
Always something I like to do to give you more 
 "bang for your bucks"

So time now to make that cuppa and relax as you watch the making of the Hexagonal Box.

More tomorrow ...

New Hexagonal Box

 Hi Everybody,

This is the new Hexagonal Box Collection and this one has an extra die set that will extend the sides of the box for you to make it taller, as this picture shows

There are also extra dies and stamps to enable you to decorate the box to suit your recipient.

The video will show you how I created my box in one style and that doesn't use the extending sides, but there are lots of options especially if you do  have the extra dies.



So there you have a brand new collection that will give you a new shape to add your gift too, and this is just one way to create the box

This collection is now available at Craft Stash and today I will be with Lou Collins doing a show at 12.30 on the Craft Stash channel and there I will show you another way to put the box together and how to extend the sides for a taller box.

More tomorrow ...
