When I opened my pack of Christmas goodies from Couture Creations I was delighted to see a huge die. I’d been hoping for something like this so that I could do a Christmas Decor project – so here it is!

It is a mantel clock of my own design.Read More »
Plugging The Hole In My Concrete Bowl
I recently treated myself to something a little ‘different’ as I continue to explore new home decor ideas – for when I finish the decorating which still isn’t done.Read More »
3D Thursday 8 – It’s CHRIIIIIIISTMAAAAS, or is it?
Phew! What a week! Defo glad to be home and cracking on with more work.
In the meantime I didn’t get to show you the finished napkin ring that I made with the CoLiDo 3d pen the other day so, guess what I’m showing you in this post…?
3D Thursday 6 – It’s Playtime With The 3D Pen
Right! I’ve had a 3D printing pen for as long as I’ve had a 3D printer but sadly haven’t really had much time to play so I cleared a small window in my diary and sat myself down with what I hope would be as exciting as the 3D printer.
What did I discover? Read on to find out …
A Cracking Christmas Secret
I’ve been keeping a secret all week – the lovely ladies that I met at Jodie Johnson’s house had a sneak peek at the dies that are being launched today at midday on Create and Craft TV – and so did I!!
We even got to play with them! Want to see what I made…?
Bags Of Character
I have been having a go at making gifts bags this week. Something I’ve not really tried before but with the big ‘C’ coming up I thought that I’d like to have a go this year.
This project started out with the Poinsettia Gift Tag Stamp from Designs by Georgina. I stamped this out onto Kraft card using an Archival Inkpad; this was then cut out around the outer edge.
Christmas Is Coming, Again
In my recent Christmas Is Coming post I showed you a project that I had made with a chipboard kit from Georgina Ford.
I also eluded to the fact that I had been working with the Poinsettia Wreath Kit, also from Georgina’s range – well, finally everything has dried and it’s ready to be revealed …
Christmas Is Coming
I was deliberating whether to hand make Christmas this year (bit late to still be procrastinating I know) when along came Georgina Ford.
Georgina is setting up a new creative business called Designs By Georgina and she asked me if I would have a go with some of her product range and see what I thought.
Never one to turn down a creative request I said yes please!
Christmas Sign Off
Well, I’ve just wrapped up on my last live TV show before Christmas, the tree is finally complete and I’m just about ready for the big day so I thought that it would be an opportune moment to pop a quick post on here before heading away from the internet for a few days.
A Beaded Star, Or Two
I was perusing the shelves of my local Colemans stationary shop the other day (looking for a quickie glue pen) and I stumbled across some little wire frames onto which beads could be threaded.
They naturally fell into my basket … now where have I heard that before?
Button Wreath Bauble
Hello again :)
Today’s make uses up some of my button stash to make a cute little wreath bauble.
Peace And Joy 2
Hello again :)
Well, last night I promised you that I would stop by and show you another version of the bauble that I posted about yesterday – so here I am and here it is.
Peace And Joy 1
Today I finished off a couple more Christmas tree decorations using paper mache bauble blanks.
They both used the same papers/colours and I began them each in the same way also. Today I will share the beginning steps and the first bauble.
Christmas Crochet Complete!
A while back I showed you a crochet blanket project that I had started and asked you for your help on deciding on how to finishing it off.
