Bookatrix and Brooch
I’ve had the Bookatrix board for quite some time but really don’t use it often enough! I was never happy with the cutting-out around the edges of the ‘book’ but I think – since I was recommended to use decorative scissors to cut around the edges – I’ve liked those that...
Stamp Club Challenge
I’m trying something different…… throwing out a challenge to the ladies at my local Stamp Club. We meet once a month and I took a whole bunch of items with me last month and shared them out giving everyone two months to see what they can come up with. The items I took were empty cat...

This was a challenge to alter a tin to make something to hold pencils. Well, I can’t resist a bit of competition so I thought I’d better have a go. Visit http://oorchallengeblog.blogspot.com/ to see other entries. I took photos of all the steps (well, most of them) so you can follow what...
Art Nouveau Canvasses
My second set of canvasses were inspired by some lovely embroidery designs I got from Embroidery Library. Absolutely gorgeous designs but far too big to be embroidered on any articles of clothing – though they’d probably look really good on something like a shopping bag. Anyhow, I stitched...
