Another year has passed and, as of last Sunday, I am another year older. I have been given a lovely selection of gifts and I appreciate them all but I thought I'd show you the amazing shawl my sister knitted for me. I admired one that she had knitted in the early summer and cheekily... Continue Reading →
Hello! I am a big believer in trying to combine learned techniques with new ways of working. I have made galaxy inspired backgrounds in card making a few times and always loved the results (such as this one - rubbish photo but you get the idea) but since I am now totally in love with...

A few weeks ago my Aunt asked me if I was able to make some buttons for a large cushion that she had knitted. I had never made buttons before but I thought that they sounded like a fun project. She sent me some of the yarn that she had used so I could colour... Continue Reading →
I feel very much like a naughty teenager sneaking in after a night out. It's been such a long time since I wrote a blog post. I get so engrossed in what is going on around me and before I know it time has passed - even my 6-year-old said 'this week seems like 1... Continue Reading →
I have to say that I am thoroughly enjoying Inktober. I love to work in colour usually but there is something quite nice about covering large areas in black ink and working on shading and adding details in white.

Whilst I definitely wasn't looking for myself, I found a jumper with 3 large daisies on the front and fell in love with it. It makes... Continue Reading →

I really need to learn to let the paper dry in between layers of Inktense! Playing with my new Pentel brush pen. I... Continue Reading →
Hello, A blog a second day in a row! This looks a lot like me trying to get organised. My eldest is off school today on an in-set day (teacher training type day) so she is sat next to me chatting and sewing penguins so if my sentences seem illogical it's because I have a... Continue Reading →
I seem to be totally rubbish at this whole blogging malarkey at the minute. It's not because I don't want to blog but I've been spending all my free time making jewellery for a craft fair in November. I'm a slow crafter! Seriously, I am worried about how much I have ready to take and... Continue Reading →
Hello, Long time no see! I fell down the school summer holiday hole. I am climbing back up slowly and just at the point of peeking my head out. The kids are not back yet (next Thursday - not that I am counting down the days or anything) but hubby has just taken them out... Continue Reading →
