SKIRTING THE ISSUE At the County Show last month, I bought some new clothes from an ethnic clothing stand, including a long multi-coloured tiered skirt made from 80 percent silk. Absolutely gorgeous, except that it had a deep shirred band at the top, and I really don't like this style. I bought a…
THE SLIPPERY SLOPE ISN'T ALL BAD I decided it was high time I bought some new slippers. My poor old slipper! I ordered two pairs from an Ebay shop, and when the parcel arrived today, they'd sent the wrong ones. I got straight onto them and they apologised profusely for mixing my order…
GRAPHICS FAIRY LABELS, A LARGE WINDOW ELEMENT, ANKLE WOES, AND THE TIME IS TICKING! Bits of this and that today. Graphics Fairy Labels Some time ago, when I got my new colour laser printer, I printed out a lot of material from the Graphics Fairy Premium Membership site, including sheets of blank labels.…
WINDOW ELEMENTS, GLUE WOES UNSTUCK AT LAST, AND A MILESTONE BIRTHDAY I've been pottering in the studio and office, tidying up a bit and finding stuff I can make use of, and I've finally sorted my glue problems! I've also had an important birthday... Window elements I wasn't sure what to call these.…

DEVON COUNTY SHOW, 2023 Friday was my hubby's birthday, and since the Devon County Show usually falls around this date, we decided to go, and make it a birthday treat - actually a joint birthday treat as my birthday is at the end of the month. It is always the best day out…
ORIENTAL STYLE ALBUM - FIFTH PAGE - CIRCLES WITH CIRCLE TO SQUARE FOLD-OUT The next page to come up in my Oriental style album was green, and both background papers featured circles, so I decided to run with this. Although the predominant colour is green, there are touches of dark red so I…
ORIENTAL STYLE ALBUM - A COMPLEX POP-UP, AND SOME VIDEOS AT LAST! ALSO KITTIES AND EASTER I have been busy with the Oriental Style Album, creating more elements and working on some videos of the work in progress. Eventually I shall make a flip-through of the whole album, once the project is completed,…
SOME EMBELLISHMENTS FOR THE ORIENTAL ALBUM, AND A FAN POP-UP I've been working on a few embellishments to go in my 8 x 8-in Oriental-style album. Some of the pages really don't need much adding to them so I'm keeping them simple, and splashing out on the other ones. I've been following various…
