Hello! I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and that the new year fills you with excitement at what possibilities the next 12 months have to offer. For me 2017 flew by far too quickly, especially from September onwards and it wasn't all because I was having too much fun either. It was a... 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 week ago we went to clothes shopping for my kids. You can't go too wrong with supermarket clothes (especially for growing kids) so we went to Asda. 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 →
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 made a lot of jewellery before Christmas that were altogether more complicated than my usual makes. I learned new bead weaving stitches, I spent hours playing with clay to make new beads and I had a blast but sometimes I come back to the idea of clean and simple especially when I am a...

Happy Wednesday. I thought I'd quickly share a bracelet I finished today. The truth of the matter is that this little bracelet sat unfinished on my self for a good few months. I fell out with it and I'm not sure why because once I finally sat to finish today it was easy and relaxing. It... Continue Reading →
Hello! It seems absolutely ages since my last blog post. I have got very bad with getting anything done over the last few weeks and all my creative oomph seems to have gone for a wander. Hoping it returns soon as I am yet to start Christmas card making (I know, pretty bad that a... Continue Reading →
