Fabric & Paper......

Thought you might like to see what I've been playing around with...?

I love the feel & mixture of paper with fabric, & the way the fabric is able to fray, but stay attached to the card...

I like that the stitching becomes part of the drawing on the card,

like a pencil or crayon might be....

I like the clash of fabric colours, cotton & ink... what do you think...?

Nice & Simple.............

Been playing around with Clay lately...
I love simple designs, always have always will....
Here are the bits & bobs I've been working on....

What I've been working on recently....

A selection of cards, using fabrics, paper, & sewing

Rusty Christmas tree decorations

How lucky am I.....?

In this world of hairdressing that I work in, there are certain perks to the job this is one of them.... Homemade cakes bought in by a very lovely lovely client of mine.....

Natural Elements...............

Is it too soon to mention Christmas....!?
Well....., there I've said it...

I've always loved the Natural elements of Christmas, Pine cones, Berries, Dried fruits, Twisted Willow etc...
I am lucky enough to live amongst fields, & can gather, these bits & bobs on my daily walks, with Mr Alfie, it's always nice to bring the outside into the inside of our home....

I wanted to get a bit of a head start, with making things, this year, & have committed myself to two craft fairs, around Christmas time, so, with this in mind, I've been making Pine Cone garlands, Scented Cinnamon Sticks, Bags of homemade potpourri, & one of my favorites Wax scented pine cones, which when tossed onto an open fire, fill the room with a seasonal warmth....
