LUISE HEINZL'S TYPEWRITER EPHEMERA I have just downloaded this kit from Luise's Etsy and love the vintage grunge of it all. I successfully printed out all the sheets on my new printer and am very pleased with the result. The pages consist of printables of page tabs, pockets, belly bands, journaling cards etc.…
SCRAP BUSTING - MIXED MEDIA FRAGMENTS I have made further inroads into my overflowing scraps box, grabbing a handful of white card strips which had been trimmed off larger sheets. Tea and rust I laid them out on the table close together and tea dyed them from a spray bottle, and once they…
TAGS FROM CAT FOOD BOXES My hubby was throwing some cat food boxes into the recycling bin the other day and I intervened on their behalf, offering them a new lease of life. These boxes contain several small tins of the food we get on subscription online. The boxes have some nice plain…
VILLAGE FETE On Saturday we attended the annual fete in the village where we used to live. It's always a fun day out, and I usually find plenty of bargains on Annie's white elephant stall. This year she celebrated 40 years of manning this stall, selling all kinds of things people don't want…

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…
GOOD HAIR DAYS - THE CONTINUING SAGA Good old Ebay... All the supplies I ordered for my new hair regimen have now arrived, with the exception of the scalp massager, which should arrive any day; unfortunately it has not arrived in time to use it during my first alternative wash on Monday. Goodness…
MORE PAPER EMBELLISHMENTS, AND COLD WEATHER KITTIES I've been having fun with paper, mostly in the comfort of the sitting room on the recliner. The weather is quite cold now and we are trying to conserve the heating, and it's easier to heat just the one room. I do want to spend some…
