Viva la Moda – new issue

If you want to find out more about me….

….then check out this interview I did over on Autonomous Artisans (a great blog by the way!) It shows a bit where I have come from and I thought you might find it interesting! Mixed media artwork by me!

Mix up Monday – spam email finds

This time I have been looking for houses as apparently my house is in danger – according to the spam emails I get anyway! I love this collage which is housed inside a salvaged thimble house – get it from Strangelord. This cute house by Little Quilts would look great either on it’s own or [...]

Cute overload on a Thursday – ghosts

My younger daughter came to scare me this morning dressed as a ghost (crocheted blanket over her head!) so todays Cute Overload post is dedicated to ghosts! This ghost egg cosy would be perfect for cheering you up in the morning – I love him! Get him from Filzplatz. I couldn’t feature ghosts without featuring [...]

Wednesday feature – a day late!

Thanks for all the well wishes – I’m feeling better today although still have a slight headache. Not enough to stop me being productive though! Today I am featuring Tastykaeru who I first spotted when searching for items for this treasury I made the other day. The first thing I fell in love with in [...]
