A What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? Sweeping Thanks on Inkscape Last week I showed you the new hot foil plate I got - Spellbinders Sweeping Thanks. This is a nice big sentiment that will fit on a variety of card sizes, even the smallest if you place it diagonally. I checked to…
What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? Sheba (my Cougar cutting machine) has been earning overtime wages this week for all her hard work. Cutting, cutting cutting... lattices and fun with squares. Cracking the Carding Code I think I have finally cracked the code with card making. For too many years I've had a…
My apologies again for visiting so few people last week. I've been so busy, and I was keen to spend some quality time in the studio being creative. Only so many hours in the day, and those hours seem to get shorter by the day! What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? I have…

After my scan at the hospital today, my hubby took me to visit Oldway Mansion, which I had surprisingly never visited before, despite living in the area for eight years! Oldway Mansion in Paignton was built by the sewing machine millionaire Isaac Singer in the 19th century and rebuilt by his son Paris…
What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? It's been a busy week. I haven't had a lot of studio time this week, what with my radiotherapy and trying to keep up with my cooking. I am keen the keep the freezer well stocked with ready-cooked meals in case the fatigue from the treatment incapacitates…
