Anyone else on Ravelry? I love it. Although I don’t get nearly as much knitting/crochet done as I’d like!
Here are a few of my favourite recent projects:
Category: Craft Blog
Hi and welcome to my craft blog. A collection of crafty/creative things, not all painting related, but hopefully all interesting and inspiring.
Glass Beads: Post Number 1
Something I am just starting to get into, is making glass lampwork beads.
A few years ago, Mum bought us (me) a kit to make lampwork beads after we saw someone demonstrating it at a craft fair. We both instantly wanted to have a go. We didn’t really get into it too much to start with because the little cans of MAPP gas were so expensive we just couldn’t do much. Recently however, we bought an adapter and it’s allowed us to use a much bigger, cheaper gas tank and so we can do much more with it.
Button Drawing/Push Pins
Ok here goes…
So this is something I did years ago with the intention of putting it on a blog: Brightly coloured button drawing pins (push pins in America I believe). I love them, they work really well on my “Corkboard of Inspiration” where I stick up pictures of things I like/want to do, pretty postcards/gift tags I get, all that sort of stuff.
Blog revival
Hi…
So it’s 2015, and I really want to try and revive this blog. I’ve been thinking for a couple of months now that I want to share all the crafty/creative bits and peices I get up to but I’ve just not got round to it. Well now I’m going to. It might take me a little while to get into it, and I can’t promise posts will be regular, but I’m really going for it. Starting is going to be the hardest part (hence writing this rather rambling, not-a-lot-of-anything post!) but once I’m up and running I’m sure it will be fine.
