Teabag Mini-Album Number Two After setting this aside for a period while I was busy with other things, I was keen to get back to it and complete it. Please refer to this post for details of recent progress. What I intend to do in this current post is to show the photos…
Storage for my spray inks It's been a good few days since I posted. I have been working hard on my ink pad/spray storage unit. This job has proved to be a lot more protracted than I had hoped, but I am on the home stretch now. From my previous post, you will…
New Distress Spray Stains and Oxide Sprays Today my parcel arrived, containing all the new Distress Spray Stains and Oxide Sprays that I ordered. I also got another Tim Holtz stencil, "Decayed" which is fabulous. I saw him using it when he was doing his Distress Spray Stains demo recently. I already…
Napkins from Lithuania A few days ago I received the final (I think! - I ordered so many it's hard to keep track!) of my packs of rice paper and napkins. I knew there was a delay on this one because it was coming from overseas, but I hadn't realised it was coming…

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 less-than-spectacular results yesterday, I had a really fun and creative afternoon in the studio today. I had a small job I wanted to do, and this had a spin-off which was unexpected, and not at all what I imagined I might be doing. Following Jennifer McGuire (see my previous post), she…
