BEGINNING BONNIE BAGGIE NO. 2: SMALL NECK PURSE - WORKING WITH LEATHER This baggie is made from curtain fabric with a leather fringe at the bottom. I got out my large box of leather scraps. Very many years ago I was given a whole lot of fine leather offcuts from a glove maker,…
A REPAIR JOB, AND EXCITING NEW STASH FROM EBAY A repair job - my hubby's leather pouch I had to put aside my Bonnie Baggie project last Friday night because I had a repair job to do for my hubby. He always has a leather pouch attached to his belt for his bits…
A NEW PROJECT - BONNIE BAGGIES! - AND A NEW LAMP Preparation for an exciting new project Just recently a new channel came up in my YouTube feed, from a wonderful creative lady in the USA who upcycles old clothing and jewellery into beautiful boho-style clothes and bags. This really got my creative…
RECYCLED PAPER-GLASSINE BAG ALBUM - THE BINDING AND FINAL FLIP-THROUGH I've finished it! It was quite a sweat getting the final stages done, but I wanted to get it finished before Tuesday when I was meeting up with my friend who I was sure would want to see it. Nothing like a deadline…

These two backgrounds…
RECYCLED PAPER-GLASSINE BAG ALBUM - LEAVES FOR THE FINAL TWO FOLIOS The final two folios of this album will be based on botanicals and trees. I had pretty much run out of ready-to-use leaves so it was high time I made some more. I do always have a number of uncoloured die cuts…
A GRAND DAY OUT - THE NORMAN LOCKYER OBSERVATORY A couple of months ago I celebrated my seventieth birthday (eeek...) and my hubby suggested a special outing to mark the occasion. He had recently gone with a party to the Norman Lockyer Observatory in Sidmouth and knew I would enjoy it, so he…
RECYCLED PAPER-GLASSINE BAG ALBUM - THE FOURTH FOLIO Today I completed the fourth folio of this recycled album, with a theme of entomology. Lots of bugs! Before we begin, I downloaded some gorgeous freebies from VectoriaDesigns. Tinne is very generous with her free downloads, some of which are just backgrounds and elements, and…
RECYCLED PAPER-GLASSINE BAG ALBUM - DIGITAL ELEMENTS AND SPECIMEN SLIDES An update on the third folio Looking at the front page, I noticed that the pointing finger at the top of the page wasn't really standing out, so I added some shading around it, and this has improved things. Also, the tag with…
