A while ago I posted a few images of a really lovely up-do and I can’t wait for my hair to grow longer so that I can try it out. Today I found this fab tutorial which is making me yearn for longer locks pronto!

This is something I might have to try – making polymer clay buttons – there are some vintage buttons that are unique and sometimes I find it hard to part with some of the jewellery I make as I know I’ll never come across another button like that again. With this idea, I could make a mould and create a duplicate to keep in my collection for reference and to remember.

This is a lovely button themed tutorial by Jen Jockisch over at the American Crafts Studio blog. Choose any letter from the alphabet, or maybe you want to do a number instead, and then select your colour pallet and pick out your buttons, choose a font etc and away you go….

Some of you may know that not only do I run Milomade, but I’m also a freelance web designer and run Eskymo New Media Design. I did a favour for a friend recently, taking lots of lovely photographs of her work for a new website I hope to design and build for her quite soon. In return she did a short print run of business cards for me and I was expecting to pick this up from here the next time I went over to Edinburgh, but…

I was asked recently to document a couple of tutorials for Making Magazine – for their July Issue (No.9) – origami bookmarks and pocket notebooks. I’ve just received my copy of the magazine in the post. Unfortunately they couldn’t squeeze in the images for the pocket notebook tutorial as this had to go onto a single page in the end, so they’ve just included the text. This might be a bit confusing for people, so I thought I’d post the images here so that you would be able to see an image of each step.

I thought I’d try photographing my necklaces on a model today – namely me – so I set up the camera on a tripod and got my cable release out. After many different choices of top, I settled for my black icebreaker and took a few snaps. With these necklaces, it’s nice to see them it situ i.e. hung around the neck to get a sense of how they look when you’re wearing them rather than the images I’ve taken of them in the studio lying flat on a wooden board.
