I often think I would love a craft room; a space to call all mine for crafty dreams but in reality I don't think I would enjoy it all that much. My craft space is situated between the fish tank and piano in the dining room. It is not a fancy dining room that we... Continue Reading →
Hello and happy Friday! I am currently enjoying the 30 day colouring challenge held by Kathy from The Daily Marker. This is the third time I have done it and, honestly, I was running out of new things to colour. I don't have a fresh supply of new stamps to play with (or an endless... Continue Reading →

As ever my photo shows the colour looking more washed out than they really are. I have used an Anita's/Docrafts stamp for the flower after liberally splodging (technical!) on watercolour paint...

I'm back with another entry for the Color Throwdown challenge CTD 379. The colours this week were pink, purple/mulberry, gold and hot pink. I have really struggled to take a photo that showed the colours as they actually are; the photo makes them look a lot paler. The stamps are from Kanban and the background... Continue Reading →
