SKY'S THE LIMIT Some time ago we upgraded our Sky broadband to high speed fibre, and somehow got a new package on the TV contract. This involved a couple of bundles we weren't watching. We were spending too much on something we weren't even using. Decision time! Time went on and life got…
I MADE AN APRON! Since starting my Bonnie Bags project, I've been getting more sewing videos coming up in my feed. I do follow a few channels which show how to make authentic period garments, and while I am not really into this, I am interested to see how things were done in…
FUSSY CTTING DIGITAL PEOPLE, STUDIO ORGANISING AND THE EPHEMERA DILEMMA Fussy cutting Digital People I have long been intrigued by Tim Holtz's Paper Dolls and have toyed with the idea of buying them, but when I signed up to the Graphics Fairy Premium Membership site, I discovered that they had a bundle called…
RHASSOUL CLAY HAIR WASH I'm afraid I didn't manage to take any photos this morning as I didn't have very much time to do my first clay hair wash, once I'd finished other things like the laundry. As it was, we ended up having a rather late lunch! Late night preparations for the…

Coffee Staining The three plastic lace table runners that I ordered from Ebay arrived yesterday. I got a multi-buy discount and they weren't expensive. They are very pretty. I set up a coffee…
SPLAT BOX PAPERS What is a splat box? Any sort of box, usually a cardboard one, that you put something in before you spray it with ink or glue, to prevent overspray all over your desk. I have two sections of cardboard box that I cut so that they are open on one…
Somewhat of a frustrating day today, leaving me feeling as if I've been wading through treacle for most of the day! A ripping start to the day (not...) When I made the bed this morning, I ripped the sheet. It was old, and definitely in need of replacement, but not a great start…
Health update First of all, thank you, everyone who spotted my additional post this week, sharing the news of my cancer diagnosis, and for your good wishes. That post, just prior to this one, gives details, and I have also added a new cancer diary page to my blog (tab under main header).…
