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.
The Case Of The Missing Pictures
Missing artworks, a priceless jewel and a murder.
This could be a case for Holmes, Marple or Poirot.
Crochet For Christmas
I’ve been aiming to make a number of Christmas gifts this year and having started a crochet blanket (that has been occupying quite a bit of my time) I thought that I would share a few pics of the progress.
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.
Kraft Card Christmas Gift Tags
Today I’ll be kicking off my Christmas projects (better late than never). These will be a collection of Christmas themed makes and handmade gifts that I have been working on recently.
This first one is a quick and easy range of gift tags that I have been experimenting with that I hope to adorn my handmade Christmas Gifts with.
They use very little in terms of materials but still gave me some freedom in how I decorated them.
My First Christmas Tree
This may seem odd but I have never actually owned a Christmas tree before this year or had one in my house over the holiday period as I rarely have people over – it’s just been easier for me to visit everyone else.
This year though I wanted to bring Christmas home, and also bring the homemade into Christmas.
Brother Scan N Cut – Updated Link List
It’s been quite some time since I posted the useful links list on my blog. Since then I have created more posts and more information has become available for Scan N Cut users.
I thought that it would therefore be a good idea if I posted an updated list of links and sources of information for anyone that needs it.

A Rosey Book Mark
As I’ve mentioned before, I do love a good book. I have however noticed recently that I appear to have been collecting them a lot, but not reading them at a pace to match.
Having recently cancelled my TV subscription I decided that it would be a good time to start catching up on those unread works.
This thought of reading always gives me an idea to make a bookmark. On looking through my photographic archives recently I discovered some photos of a book mark that I made using stamps and inks so I thought that I would share this little make with you today.
A Blossoming Birthday Card
If you are anything like me then you have birthday’s happening in your family and friend circle all year round.
Sometime, especially towards Christmas, it’s hard to create things outside of the usual Christmassy stuff.
Well, it was my friend’s 50th recently so I decided to make a bright flowery card for her to celebrate with style.

Making MDF Craft Desk Storage
It was some time ago that I bought a few sets of MDF craft room storage kits from Fernli designs and I meant to blog about them but it totally slipped my mind!
Anyway, I stumbled across the images that I had taken in my archives recently so thought that I would pop a quick blog post on here about them.Read More »
Paper Bead Christmas Tree Decorations
I was having a play with my paper bead roller the other week and thought that making little Christmas tree decorations from hand rolled paper beads would be a nice change from the usual round baubles so I set to work plotting and playing again.
Here in this post is an overview of how I made them and what they ended up like.
Stamp It Sunday – Thinking Of You…
It certainly feels like yonks since I last wrote a blog post so I just wanted to do a little post to let you know that I am still around and thinking of you :)

My enthusiasm in making canvas creations seems to be continuing this week with quite a quick and simple abstract affair.
