My Robin christmas decoration/sun catchers have literally been flying out of my house, which is great news. I’ve sold them on Folksy, in Quay Presents shop and on craft stalls. Shame I don’t get any real ones in my garden! It made me realise that I currently have a collection of birds for sale. As …
Friday already, where does the time go? Well I am now in possession of a new mobile camera phone. I was brave and ordered a 2nd hand Nokia N8 from ebay! This was my first attempt at bidding and with trial and error and a few failed bids, I eventually won an auction. The purchase …
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+ …

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!

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 …
Today I just had to reblog this, great way of recycling.
