There are no such thing as mistakes, just unique creations.
Wedding Fayre – Sherborne, 15 Oct 23
As the title suggests, I will be attending a wedding fayre on 15 October at Sherborne Girls’ School, where I will be showing my Vintage Brooch Bridal Bouquets. If you are getting married and want something different for your bouquet, come join me at Sherborne, where you can see first hand what they look like.…
Self Healing Mat Storage
If you have self-healing or Cricut mats, then you know you need to store them flat. And I mean flat. I tried storing my first self-healing mat upright behind a filing cabinet and it was never the same. For a while I kept it under the bed, but when we bought a bed with storage…
Cloth Napkins
Today I will demonstrate how to make cloth napkins from a commission I received from Jurassic Gifts. Napkins are an easy way to start sewing and to really customise your table settings. You will need a special hem sewing machine foot, but if you have a sewing machine, you should have everything you need. The…
Salisbury Craft Market – Sept 2023
I’m very excited to attend the Salisbury Craft Market 16 September 2023 at the Guildhall. It’s my second market (the first in Devises was really a test, see pic above) and I hope to see lots of you there. Salisbury is a great city to visit, with Old Sarum and the Cathedral well worth a…
Drilling into Glass
I have been dabbling with stained glass for a while now, but it’s tricky and I’m still a bit rubbish at it. However, I’ve made enough pieces now that I have a decent amount of offcuts. Not one to throw much away, I decided to combine two presents – the stained glass set with the…
Craft Fair Table Top Sign
I have been making and crafting for a few months now, in preparation for a side-hustle selling at craft fairs. It’s been very exciting and a steep learning curve, but I’m really enjoying the creativity. If you are going to sell at craft fairs, the biggest thing to think about – aside from the quality…
Rolled Up Blinds
We have been renovating our house and are on some of the last rooms. One of these was a porch that we tore down and rebuilt with better windows and insulation, a new front door and doorbell – the latter we haven’t had in years… It is a very large and welcoming space and gets…
Wool Wall
I am so excited about my latest project, the ‘wool wall’. We have been renovating our house for some time now, and my crafts were the first sacrifice to long-term storage at the back of our garage, including my wool stash. I hadn’t touched yarn in years (literally), until we finally finished my craft, ahem,…
Cushion Cover – Type 2
I have mentioned in previous posts that we built, and then was rid of, a couch. We tried. We failed. It was simply too uncomfortable. However, we did have leftover cushions that we wanted to keep. We also do not have a coffee table in our living room – for us coffee tables are just…
Cushion Cover – type 1
The reason for the title of this post ‘Cushion Cover – type 1’ is because I will be posting another style of cushion that I am going to cover, which involves piecing together sides in addition to a front and back. This one is slightly simpler to make as it is only constructed of two…
