I have been planning this year’s glass products and creating my workshop list. I decided that I would have a theme for the 2017 products which is – The Beach. Not everything will be beach themed but I am hoping to be able to make a nice presentation at Craft Fairs. I have just startedContinue reading “2017 Plans”

Here’s wishing everyone a Happy New Year.  I am looking forward to lots of crafting and I hope that some of it will be with friends. As readers will know I had a new studio in July.

Last Monday we had the Grand Opening of my new studio – hence the ribbon. Whilst there is still external painting to be done the inside is pretty well complete I have also made a path of stepping stones that lead to the studio –  more of those another time The space inside is generousContinue reading “New Studio”

I droppped my mobile phone on the conservatory floor recently and the screen broke (again). Ho hum.  After some deliberation I decided to buy an upgrade – Samsung Galaxy 5 (only two down from the newest model). I had a good cover for my old phone – although it wasn’t enough to save it from aContinue reading “Knitted phone cover”
