Happy Valentine's Day ....

Take 12: February ...

... this month I chose to take a photo an hour (or there abouts) to document my day. I think I'll do this again when the 12th falls on a weekday to contrast.

I took all the photos on my HTC using the Vignette app which is like iPhone's Instagram I think.

A Make A Month ...

... for February.

A week ago I had a few friends come round and I taught them the little I knew about Mixed Media. I made these little canvases as an example for them.

It was great to craft in company and to see their own intepretations come to life.

10 things: iTunes ...

... it's taken me all day to think of what to post and have decided to share (according to iTunes) my most played songs. I've chosen one per band (Keane, James Morrison and Jamiroquai feature quite often!)


1. Leaving So Soon - Keane

2. Ruby - Kaiser Chiefs

3. Nature's Law - Embrace

4. Patience - Take That

5. Broken Strings - James Morrison

6. Grounds for Divorce - Elbow

7. Sophia - Nerina Pallot

8. Paradise - Coldplay

9. Corner of the Earth - Jamiroquai

10. Moving - Supergrass

And here's a link to them all on YouTube

Winner ...

... well February hasn't started off very crafty but January's challenges won 3 prizes!

Sketchy Thursday, Ella Publishing and Sarah's Cards.

Doing a very happy dance!

A Make A Month ...

... and a birthday present.

I had been wondering what to make and then remembered the project kit that came free with Cath Kidston Patch book that I got for Christmas.

I've done a different Suffolk Puff to the one suggested and used different backing fabric to the cream cotton that was supplied.

I have done very little patchwork in my life, so it was quite nice to do something different. I think I overdid the amount of stitching required, but it's all a learning process!!

Goodbye Sketchy Thursday ...

... like many people I was a bit sad to hear the news that the Sketchy Thursday challenges were going to stop. I never played along as much as I would have liked, but their sketches were always easy to use and adapt. I couldn't not take part in their last challenge.
