I went to Cornwall in August and as ever had to take craft/art supplies. The kids don't cope well with going away (the uncertainty of new places etc) but at the same time they love it. At the end of the evening I needed something to relax with to try to forget about that day's drama and... Continue Reading →
It was my Husband's birthday just over a week ago. In my head I had planned this hand drawn card but the reality was that I was clearly brewing my sinus infection and couldn't focus or sit at my craft desk for too long. I had bought a stamp set it the summer with various sports... Continue Reading →
Well, I shall keep this short and sweet. I've not been crafting as much in the last few weeks as I was full of cold and feeling completely rubbish. As of this morning I couldn't cope with the pain in my head any longer so saw my Doctor. She promptly diagnosed a sinus infection and... Continue Reading →
Well, half term came and went. Both kids came down with a heavy cold and chose to spend their days in their pjs glued to Minecraft. We made it out the house briefly but their tolerance for being out and about was low so we opted for long (oh my, some days were very long!)... Continue Reading →

Well, I'm not sure where the last week has gone but with some horror I realised I hadn't posted on my blog since last Wednesday. It's not a big deal granted but it's important to me. So here is a shaker card made for my friend's birthday last week. The stamp was a freebie from the... Continue Reading →
I finally got round to decorating the watch face I bought weeks ago with my sister. It's a Beadalon watch face with Czech glass Matubo seed beads and silver spacer beads threaded on beading elastic. The Matubo seed beads are new to me and are absolutely gorgeous. This watch is definitely for me to keep as I... Continue Reading →
As you may remember I wrote about my shopping trip with my sister to a bead shop. Well, whilst I was there I totally fell in love with these gorgeous bird connectors and purple and yellow flowers. I kept the necklaces very simple as I didn't want to over shadow such lovely beads. My Mum... Continue Reading →
The joy of having a sister living so close (by close I mean just across the road!) is girly shopping days. We are both busy and lead different lives but make a point of finding time for us to go out together and relax. We had one of these shopping days last week and after... Continue Reading →
