I’ve ordered business cards etc from VistaPrint before, so I’m on their mailing list for all their promotions. A couple of weeks ago they had an offer that was too good to pass up, so I thought I’d sample a wider range of their products. I designed PlanetJune postcards, magnets, sticky notes, a rubber stamp […]

Although I have my new leather desk chair in my craft room, I stored my old chair in the basement, just in case. I saw a great post (‘save your old chair with a new look’) on IKEA Hacker a few weeks ago, and recognised my boring old Svenning chair given a fantastic makeover. Well, […]

small crochet

We’ve just started a new theme on my other blog, Crochet Along. The new theme is Small Crochet – basically anything goes, as long as it’s small(ish). I’ve given 6″ or less as a guide for size, but it’s not a strict rule. We’re going for small stuff as instant gratification – it’ll be refreshing […]
