I love making cards but the problem with making them is that I can never just say "sorry, no time recently so I had to buy one". I got so behind last year with my card making that by the time I got to Christmas it was a marathon to get any Christmas cards made... Continue Reading →
I have been absent from my little blog for far too long. The crafting oomph seemed to just leave one day and whilst I sat and made the usual things I just haven't felt too inspired. I am determined that things are going to change! Watch out blog, I'm back!!!
Well a few weeks ago it emerged that my sister (the knitter - http://www.etsy.com/shop/millykins) watched home shopping channels whilst she knitted. In my time I have been a huge fan of watching the crafting programmes on these channels; they gave me the confidence to start crafting as they have lots of hints and tips and... Continue Reading →

As I have been thinking of a title for this post most of the evening and come up with nothing! I had a small chance today to do some crafting and decided that I would have a break from that bloke in the red coat and hat (I dare not say his name as... Continue Reading →
So I decided to show 2 new home cards that I made recently. Two of my sister's moved house on the same day to the same are (near me - it must be my charm ;o) ) One sister loves monkeys hence the monkey card. The 'house' card is simply made with different coloured papers... Continue Reading →
Hello and welcome to my blog. I have been oohing and ahhing over crafty blogs for some time now and have finally plucked up the courage to jump into blog land. I enjoy crafting first and foremost; mainly card making, jewellery making and home decor projects. I in no way consider myself an expert... Continue Reading →
