Rosie & Linda’s ABAA has “felting” as a theme this week and this was one of those lightbulb moments for me. I thought it’d be fun to dress up my gardening/sun hat. It’s a huge-brimmed straw affair which isn’t very flattering (I’m not pretty in hats!!), but it does keep the sun off my face [...]

I first came across Patty’s blog over a year ago and we struck up a relationship when I commented about her altered cutlery.

Well I seem to have got my challenges mixed up, but what the heck? It gave me yet another excuse to make wall-candy for my workspace, didn’t it?!

At Rosie & Linda’s Awfully Big Art Adventure, we’re making charms! I have a real passion for bottlecaps and made a lot of cute art pins for sale last year. Last night I got one of my sheets of ‘Rounds’ out – Edwardian Beauties’ – and flattened a couple of bottlecaps Lisa sent me and [...]
