I'm back! I had a little (unintentional) blog break, ie, I haven't had much time to make anything. I've been popping on to catch up on what everyone else has been up to but getting the kids ready for back to school has been a bit of a marathon (if I see another name label... Continue Reading →
Happy Saturday 🙂 Drawn with Sakura Micron pens and painted with Sakura Koi Pocket Field Sketch Watercolours.
I love it when I can use card making things to make jewellery. I like to think I'm getting the most out of the money I spent buying it all - I dread to think over the years how much my hobby has cost me (could I have bought a small house instead?) Feeling the need... Continue Reading →
Well, the kids are on holiday and we've had fun doing various activities and playdates but the weather isn't altogether summery.

I think one of the best bits of making your own cards is being able to personalise them. This was made for my Cousin and her new hubby. Craft stash used: Anita's... Continue Reading →

Well, my kids have finally broken up from school for their summer holiday. A very sad end for my little boy who has left his very lovely pre-school ready for Infant school. He really is ready for the next step but I wish I could have kept him a baby for a little longer. Both kids... Continue Reading →
Just thought I'd share a new baby card I made for a friend earlier this week. The sun is shining here so I decided to make a washing line full of baby vests. The photo was taken rather hastily one morning before putting in the envelope so the quality isn't great but each vest spells out 'Isabel'. I... Continue Reading →
