How to make Mondays more bearable!

Happy Monday! If you're suffering from the Monday blues then do yourself a favour. At lunch time buy a wispa gold. Remove the wrapping and put it on a plate. Put in the microwave. Turn the microwave on for 20 seconds but KEEP A CLOSE EYE on it. As SOON as the caramel appears out the top then open the door and remove. Times vary but its about 16 seconds on a 700w microwave with a bar which has been at room temperature. If the caramel bubbles then you've left it in too long. Eat with a fork or spoon. And enjoy! Once you've tried it and got the timing right you'll never eat them cold again! Absolutely delicious!! Like i said, Happy Monday! :D x

Abundance Cheques

Hey Gang

If you're anything like me then you'll have no doubt seen the hughly successful gameshow "Deal Or No Deal" with Noel Edmonds. It's a great idea in that it doesn't discrimate against who can take part or who can't. You dont have to be the Brain Of Britain to stand a chance of winning a large amount of money. It's also the show which brough Noel back to our tv screens after an absense of about 10 years.

Noel Edmonds was really big back in the day. I remember watching him when I was growing up on hosting various shows as "Telly Addicts" and "Noel's House Party". He is a big believer in Cosmic Ordering - a method which uses the Law Of Attraction to draw certain objects/people/events into your life. It is thought that Like Attracts Like and so by being positive and thankful, you will draw more positivity into your life and more reasons to be thankful. And on the other hand, by being selfish and negative, will result in you missing fabulous opportunities around you and will stifle any abundance coming your way.

Many people believe this (myself included - well if it's good enough for Noel...!) and use this positive visulisation to their advantage. If this is something you like to explore further then feel free to try out the Abundance Cheques by clicking the picture below, saving and/or printing it (right click the piccie once it's full size) and then using it on the next new moon.

A cute draft excluder and retro cake stand

Hi All

Sorry for the lack of post yesterday but I was so busy sourcing and making these little cuties! A draught excluder (all bought from a charity shop at a cost obout £2.50) and a retro cake stand (more charity shop - cost of 75p). Bargain!

Oh yeh, I getcha. You wanna make these too doncha? Alright, here's how I did it :)

Draught Excluder

Get your hands on a cute, decent sized toy and a pair of trousers that will have legs long enough to be the width of a door. I used 3-6 mth old trousers and they're very slightly short to be totally honest. Only about an inch or so either side tho so nothing too drastic. You need the toy to be fat enough to be able to wear the trousers.

 

Cut the trousers up the groin area a bit. We need to make them be able to open a bit wider.

Next, approach Teddy with the scissors. Try to ignore the terror in his eyes. Remember, we're making him into a better person. Start chopping. Oh and PLEASE make sure the kids dont see you. Unless you want them to endure years of counselling later in life.

Remove excess lower half stuffing - we'll use that another time!

Now to tackle the hole in his trousers

Make sure trousers are inside out and stitch some scrap material over it. I used leftovers from when I turned poor Mr P's boxer shorts into a clothes peg bag.

Now we have to pop whats left of Teddy's legs into the trousers. Argh, trousers are too wide! Time to pin them, turn inside out and stitch to make them skinner.

Now stitch Teddy's feet onto the trousers. Turn right side out again and make sure your stitch catches both the trousers and the foot so nothing will fall out once we fill it. I did mine around the seams since there was stitching there anyway. I'd recommend double stitching it.

Do the same for the other foot. Nearly there, Teddy!

Next, fill it with your choice. Some people use rice although I wouldn't as I'm scared of encouraging rats, Other people use old towels or stockings. I used pine scented kitty litter which I got from Pets At Home for £2.29 for 5kg. I've got about a third left (enough for my Chicken Door Stop!). I also didn't sew Teddy into his trousers although you probably would want to. There were a few reasons why I didnt do it. We dont have kids so no chance of them trying to lift it to play with it. I wanted to be able to access the cat litter incase it got wet and I needed to empty it and re-new it. And I hate hand stitching! So Teddy got an elastic band around him and covered with a ribbon bow to stop anything falling out if he got kicked over. Along with Mr P getting a thorough warning not to ever pick Teddy up by his head. He must always be picked up by his legs. In all probability tho, I probably will permenantly stitch him together to make him more secure. Acces to his insides can always be gotten at via his scrap material cicle!

 

Enjoy! x

Cake Stand

Dead easy this. Just get two plates, one of which is slightly smaller than the other. Make sure they're clean and dry. Fill two shot glasses with whatever you fancy. Pot pourii, coloured sand, coloured aquarium gravel, anything. Put glass glue round the shot glass rim (I got mine from B&Q - bout £3.98 I think. For glass to glass bonds and dries clear.) Put an upside down plate in the middle and, holding the plate and shot glass carefully, turn quickly right side up. Do this for the other plate too. Then glue on top of each other. Add a few fabric flowers if you like. Et voila! Easy, huh?

Hope you enjoy making these projects!

3 Minute Green Candle Money Spell

Hey Gang

Did a bit more video making today and have now completed a quick 3 minute video of a Green Candle Money Spell. Candle magick is really easy - we do it every year when we make a wish and blow out our birthday candles!

Spells are great...as long as you bear a few "rules" in mind. Always perform your spell from a positive space (mentally). Focus on the good part ie the outcome rather than why you are performing it ie the problem. NEVER do a spell which involves altering the free will of another person (known as Black Magick). This is a major no-no. Grey magick can involve another person but in a non-sinister way without their consent ie secretly doing a spell to help them get a job they want. White magick is where all the good times are ie using natural energies to bring about the best outcome in your own life. And finally, always remember the "Rule Of Three" - whatever you put out, The Universe will return to you threefold. So only use your powers for good please!

Thursdays are the best day for carrying out money spells. This is because Thursday is associated with Jupiter, the planet of Wealth, Success and Luck. Make sure you perform it during the Waxing phase of the moon (so as it increases, so does your wealth!) or on a full moon. The current moon phase and date of next full moon can be found on my home page : Current Moon Phase. The best time to perform this spell would be at 2200hrs as this is the hour associated with Jupitar. Other Jupitar associated hours are 0100hrs and 1500hrs. You could also perform this at noon when the Sun is at it's strongest if you prefer.

A green candle is used for all money, success, prosperity, good luck, fertility, growth and employment spells. Silver or grey candles can also be used in an emergancy if you dont have green ones. But won't work quite as well so it really is best to try to get some green ones. They're not expensive (47p in my shop!). Just as well really as we're needing them for a spell to increase wealth not decrease it!

Firstly, shower to purify yourself and clease away any negativity from the past. Make sure when you're focusing your intent that you use your imagination as vividly as possible. Imagine yourself holding a cheque for the amount of money you need, taking it into the bank and seeing it appear on your bank statement. Really try to imagine the money in your hands. How does  it feel? All crisp, cold, new notes or soft well-handled ones? Can you smell it? Be sure to focus on how you're feeling as if you ALREADY HAVE the money. Focusing on really needing it will only send out the intent that you have no money (so The Universe will grant you this and give you no money) or that you are desperate for it (in which case you will repel money from you).

Once you've carried out the spell, be sure to eat and drink something. This is to ground yourself again. The act of taking a sip of water and a bite of a cracker or biscuit is mundane enough to bring you back down to earth!

Try not to obsess about whether it has worked or not. Sometimes these things take time and a lot of it is belief. Wondering if it has worked sends out the message that you are doubting it and so The Law Of Attraction won't kick in. Make sure you give thanks at the end for it working (believe!) and when you do get your extra cash, a nice gesture is to give some of it back ie to Charity. After all, money is just a form of energy and energy needs to keep moving or it will go stale. Also, this helps re-affirm that you dont "need" money (if you needed it - you wouldn't give it away) and so you should attract more money to yourself. As opposed to hoarding it and giving out a message of poverty and not-enough-to-go-round to The Universe.

Let me know what you think of the vid - all comments gratefully received! And, please let me know if (when!) the spell works for you :D
