The circles were stamped onto the inchy by inking up the square background stamp, stamping it onto card embossed with the dots and spots folder and then stamping the background stamp onto white card.…

It has been a wonderful week. Haven't had much time to do crafting but have been absorbed in my other obsession/passion in life – Taiji, or Tai Chi as most people would probably know it. At the beginning of the week, I packed away my craft table so that we had room for a family friend who was down in London for…
Cake, yummy cake – sorry, it is made from felt and beads. This one went on the front of a friend's little girl's birthday card. So a question for you – what do you call them?

Made from felt, embroidery silk and buttons.I love working with felt, you can get it in so many colours and it looks fab. This flower is to put on a make-up bag but I'm going…

So my craft desk, which is a fold-up garden table, is being dismantled and put away :( Therefore, thinking about crafting more than doing crafting for the next week. Ho hum. If you live in a tiny flat... But it will…
