show report!

Reporting back after day two of the show. Sunday was a lot quieter than Saturday, although I still had a lot of interest in my patterns. In the quiet periods, I managed to sneak away to wander around the show for a while, and pick up some new toys – some quilling paper, a bias […]

festival fun

I had an amazing day at the show today. So good, in fact, I’m going back for more tomorrow! And to everyone who is visiting my site for the first time after picking up my card at the show: welcome!

fimo medallions

I’m in the UK this week, visiting my family, but that doesn’t mean I’m not making anything… Mysterious Cities of Gold was one of our favourite TV shows when my sister and I were young, and we still love it now (and it’s finally been released on DVD!) From the DVD synopsis: In the year […]
