A Hankering to Chase Your Dream. Step by Step Canvas.
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Had a real hankering to do a simple scrappy canvas before I call it a day. Was thinking about the kids a lot today, and this stencil by Annie just captures exactly what I want to say to them both. chase your dream So here’s a very simply black and white piece, which speaks volumes. Black copy paper scrap required. This will do nicely. Lay the stencil face down on the 8” x 10”…
A Dove of Peace
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. I thought we ought to broach the subject of Christmas today. It’s getting closer, you know! So how about a really easy Fusible Fibre project? First, let’s drag some Grunge paste through the starry stencil on plain black card. Way too perfect. Let’s tear around the wreath! Replace the cleaned stencil over the dry stars, and add some Tumbled Glass and Spun Sugar with a make-up sponge. Next step, out with the white fusible…
Tonight I heard this strange noise in my artroom…
Hi there! Thanks for dropping in so late. I know. I just can’t seem to get ahead here. But hey. Haven’t missed a day yet! Long day at the office, trying to get a handle on the mini explosion we are experiencing in the middle of our little company. The Groovi Revolution has turned us upside down! Sorry if we are slow in getting your orders out at the moment. It’s not for lack of motion, I can tell you!!! But…
No birds were harmed in the making of this art. How to embed a Bird Table…
Hi there!Thanks for stopping by. Bit drizzums out there today, so let’s do some artwork instead I say!! Yesterday I really enjoyed stretching myself, and trying something new with card stitching. Found a nice home for it in the inglenook, too. But today I really must have a tidy up in here …. It’s reached that beyond-a-joke stage again. Strictly speaking, I could keep going in this mess for weeks, but we are supposed to be filming the next reel…

Monday. Take me back to New Mexico!
Hi there! Thanks for popping in. What a luxury it is to be able to write this blog on a proper Mac! Having cobbled together blogs every day for weeks from 7,000 miles away on an Ipad, and 7 or 8 hours behind you, it is great to be back in real time, in sync so to speak! So back to the grindstone, eh. Monday’s blog is Flowers and Trees, so here’s a very simple card, made with our ultra…
It’s Showtime!!
Happy Sunday. TV in the morning, then lunch with Mum and Dad. Slow drive home in the fog, and now a little chat to my Blogfriends before a film and a log fire with Dave. I hope you enjoyed the show this morning. My God! Those Wee Folk didn’t hang about for long! I can’t remember a show when a stampset shot out of the door before we even had time to complete the product walk down the counter! If…
Leftovers Sunday!
Hello there! Thanks for stopping by on this sunny Sunday. Woke up this morning and was pondering today’s blog. The first thing which came to mind was LEFTOVERS. (probably because we’re going to be eating leftovers for at least a week!) So I came up to my little room, and unearthed a bunch of LEFTOVERS from Gelli Plate demos I did at various exhibitions this year, using the Leafy Swirl Stencil Oh boy! Have I done a lot of demos…

But there will be some who still really enjoy this brief creative intermezzo here, so I shall carry on undeterred! Right. Here’s a lovely stencil The Dove Heart Stencil There’s another one, which has the same feel, but comes with deer instead. The Deer Heart Stencil…
