Last week was pretty much a non-event when it came to blogging – I just couldn’t get my head into the zone and so I didn’t do a Theme Thursday last week, or much else for that matter. So I thought I’d make this week’s Theme Thursday nice and bright with a whole collection of […]

I just read a really great feature on Handmade Weddings by Karen Jinks on the Boho Weddings & Events blog to raise the profile of the new Wedding Accessories section on the Makers-Online website. It’s full of high quality bridal jewellery, wedding extras, fascinators, wedding cards and hair accessories – all uniquely hand crafted by […]

A while ago I bought a large sheet of copper for a specific project and only used a small part of it. It’s been sitting in my studio gathering dust ever since. I’ve been thinking for a while what to with it as I don’t like the way that copper stains the skin, so wasn’t […]
Colin sent me this funny snippet yesterday. He’s not sure where he got it from so I can’t quote the source, but it made me chuckle. It’s the kind of stuff I would hope he would get up to in order to make each shopping trip more fun, but he chooses, quite wisely, to stay […]

Last year I made sourdough bread – which is bread made with naturally occurring yeast and it’s a task that takes practice and experimentation until you get the results you want, so I’d heard, but I couldn’t believe my beginners luck. The first batch of loaves came out perfectly. I gave up the bread baking […]

I’ve been busy with my sewing machine making paper garlands from envelopes, maps and music. This involves punching hundreds of small and large circles from sheets of music, or from envelopes or maps and stitching them all together in long strands to form lovely paper garlands that you can use to decorate your home.

I love the song ‘Ruby Ruby Ruby’ by the Kaiser Chiefs and having just listened to it I thought I’d have RED as this week’s theme. There aren’t a lot of red items in my wardrobe, but I’m beginning to introduce more colour in the the things I wear now and red is definitely creeping […]
