Getting My Clock Out
A while ago I showed you a selection of simple MDF kits. Well, today sees the release of another cool design.
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 »
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!
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.

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.

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.
Mini Bead Based Baubles
The Christmas decoration making continues! This time I wanted to make a little something with a hint of sparkle from my bead collection.
Candy Cane Cut Out Christmas Tree Decorations
For this Christmas tree decoration I have again enlisted the help of the Brother Scan N Cut for some simple decorations.
Putting The Ginger In The Ginger Bread Men
So that title was a little more naughty than I originally thought, lol!
Anyway, for this Christmas creation I decided to call on the Brother Scan N Cut to help me out.
Teabag Folded Christmas Tree Decorations
Ever since I learnt Teabag Folding I have always enjoyed sitting down to a session of folding and gluing.
It seemed only natural then that I should include it in some way in my series on handmade Christmas things.
Hand Stamped And Hand Painted Snowman Christmas Tree Decoration
Day two of the Christmas blog post countdown has arrived! I’ve been making an assortment of Christmas tree decorations over the last few weeks and this was one that I did mid-November on a cold and wintery day – it felt so cold that I thought that it was going to snow!
You can imagine that creating a snow scene was like doing a rain dance but I cranked up the heating and set too.
