Starting Crafting Again

Hi peeps,

How are ya all doing? I'm sorry it's been a few weeks since my last post, just had a bit going on in my life. There's been a few appointments, my cousin's wedding night do (she got married in Turkey) spending time with my sister and baby niece, and been resting as I've struggled with pain and fatigue.

I can't believe it's September already! Can you believe that my niece was 7 months old yesterday, she's doing so well and she makes me a very proud auntie. If you follow my Instagram account or my Facebook page, you will see pics of me with her. I'll post links to them below or I  think you can click on the icon buttons along the side of this blog site.

For the past few weeks, I've been looking for inspiration to create new cards etc. by browsing through craft magazines and on Pinterest. So as you can imagine, I have started making a few cards already. I will be making more including some very special ones which shall be revealed in due time :-) Already, I'm thinking about how I'm going to be displaying all my crafts when I have my yearly stall. There has been talks in me having a stall in the market by the entrance as a one off and think they have said they allow for cheaper rates when it's on behalf of charity. Like I said on my Facebook 'DinkyKt's Crafts', I'm sticking to a smaller range of craft products this time. The first reason is I'm physically struggling to do so much and the second is to make it clearer to see everything on the stall table so it doesn't look like a jumble sale. Any ideas/suggestions are most welcome.

The place to look for my Instagram is @dinkykt 

For my Facebook page is www.facebook.com/DinkyktsEDSDiaries (on there you'll find a link to my craft page 'Dinkykts Crafts'.

Sorry for the short post but will be back soon, take care and keep smiling :) xxx

Children with Gadgets

Hello everyone, I've been thinking back to a few weeks back when I was having a conversation with somebody. The topic was about kids having technical gadgets like games consoles, kindles, iPads and so on.  Going back to when I was a child, we didn't have all of these. Yes we had an Atari but that was for the whole family and I was in my teens by the time we got it. I had actual children's toys like Lego, Sindy dolls, and other toys. For the days that it rained or was too cold, I'd spend hours playing with these toys and I enjoyed arts. I'd do painting, making things and writing stories.  I liked to play out on the street with the other kids on the street. There were skipping ropes, pogo sticks and that ball with the rope toy etc. It was so much fun and meant we  learnt how to be creative, socialising and getting the exercise needed.  Another thing that kinda annoys me is when parents give their little kids kindles and iPads or even putting a DVD on fo

Child Prodigy

Image
It was just the other day when I came across a documentary by Keith Allen filming James Harries who is now known as Lauren Harries. Does the name ring a bell to you? He was the 80s/90s child prodigy who claimed to know about Antiques. He had thick, curly blonde hair and always wore a dicky bow tie. I'll post a picture of him as a young boy, I'm sure you'll remember him when you see him. Back to the documentary. James is now Lauren after a sex reassignment operation. I actually think she still seems confused and delirious. In fact the whole family are living in a world of fantasy, delirious, disfunctional and delusion. All the way through I kept an open mind, in a way, I kind of felt sorry for them. All those years ago, Mark and Kate must have been really desperate to push their youngest son into the limelight forging a claim that he could do antiquing at such a tender age. I thought it was good that Lauren had counselling during the treatment but when i

How I Created This Eye Look!!

Hi everyone! I want to tell you how I created this eye makeup look on myself from last week. I think it looks really nice and quite natural which is great for every day style.  The products that I used are as follows; Rimmel UK - Pinkadilly Circus Eyeshadow Palette ‘Rosie for Autograph’ by Marks and Spencer - Cream Eyeshadow Stick GOSH COSMETICS - Forever Eyeshadow Stick Avon UK - True Colour Glimmersrick Eyeliner  Benefit Cosmetics - Bang BadGal Mascara  How I created this eye look . I started of by applying the the lightest shade which is a white colour all over the lid as a base.  Then using the light pink along the crease line and all over the lid. Starting from a third off the inner corner, I applied the slightly darker shade just along the lid.  Then with the darkest shade which is like a dark pinky/brown in the outer corner. This creates like a smokey eye effect. I didn’t think it was showing up as much as I hoped so I decided to apply some of the ‘Rosie’ Eyeshadow Stick in the
