When I get my Fimo out its a bit of an event! My craft table has to be totally clear, I have to extend my table so I can secure my pasta machine on, I need to be organised (it's too easy to transfer colours from messy hands when rushing and, whilst I trust my kids not... 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 →
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 →
It was my wedding anniversary recently (you may like to see the card I made here https://hannahbananacrafts.wordpress.com/2015/08/04/love-birds/) My darling husband bought me a voucher for Hobby Craft.

I've been lost recently under a pile of craft stuff. I've been decluttering the house (and I've been ruthless!) but I was adamant I wasn't going to go through any of my craft items. I was convinced that I needed everything I had and that everything had a home. Only when the rest of the... Continue Reading →
Well, a slightly more serious post today. We had my daughter's 4th birthday party and the subject of my jewellery making came up. I was asked what I was going to do with all the jewellery I've recently made. An innocent question but it has got me thinking. I gave a vague answer (gifts etc)... 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 →
