First up I thought I’d share with you my mission to get a new camera phone because it has taken over a large chunk of time! It is a maze of offers and I’ve spent hours on research, partly because the mobile I’d like is of course too expensive and I don’t need a £30+ …
An odd combination perhaps – mobile phones and painting! Read More »
I hate throwing things in the bin and if they can’t be put in the recycling I try to find alternative uses. You may have read my previous crafts post about making a candle holder out of old cloudy glasses. These can’t be put in the bottle bank due to chemicals used in production. My …
Todays blog is inspired by my 2nd attempt at acrylic painting. I had a trawl through my own photographs to find something to paint, a very nostalgic couple of hours! It did make me realise I prefered looking through my photo albums than viewing photos on the computer. The digital age does make things easier …
Apologies for my absence of posts, I’ve only just come out of holiday mode! I had a lovely week in Spain, despite the rain for 4 days it was at least warm. Those that follow me on twitter will have seen the incredible fog, for those that didn’t here it is: Although I’ve not blogged …
I’ve just had a lovely short break at The Manor House Arts, Crafts and Sports Hotel near Okehampton in Devon. It is a great place to experiment and have a go at new crafts or sport with tuition provided, without worrying if you’re going to be any good. In fact it’s where I did glass …
Firstly I’m sorry I didn’t get round to writing a post on Friday but my exciting news is that my glassware will be available to buy in Quay Presents, down on the Quay in Exeter, very soon. I’m so pleased to have found another outlet quite quickly after Exetra closed. My space in the shop …
I wanted to write a blog today as I have some special offers in my shop but I’ve had little inspiration on what to write. I’m sure other people have the same problem, so this will be a short post! My offers are because it’s my birthday this week 🙂 and by Friday I may …
Decided to do a Folksy Friday blog today. It is inspired by my first attempt at painting a horse, as mentioned in my last post, although a loose connection! I’m pleased with him and feel that I got the mane right in the end. So my theme for today is brown. I did say it …
All of you who have owned animals will understand this. I had to put my 16yr old cat to sleep at the weekend, 2 months after losing her brother and this is the reason for lack of blogs last week. She had tumours in her stomach and other complications, so there was no question that …
Today I just had to reblog this, great way of recycling.
