I’m sharing a tutorial over on the Sizzix blog today for a hand painted feather t-shirt. I love a simple DIY and this couldn’t be easier! I used the leftover card from last weeks project (dipped paper feathers) as a template to paint directly on to a t-shirt with DYLON fabric paints. I love using…

What I’m reading: London Stitch & Knit
My bedside table is piled high with books at the moment. I seem to behind sharing them here but today I wanted to tell you about London Stitch & Knit: a craft lover’s guide to London’s Fabric, Knitting and Haberdashery Shops by Leigh Metcalf.

Star Wars Duck Tape wallet
I’m a huge fan of crafting with Duck Tape. It’s strong, colourful and good value. My local Hobbycraft always has an eye catching display and a few weeks ago we spotted they had Star Wars Duck Tape! My 5 year old is obsessed with Star Wars so we bought some to craft with. He made…
Tunnocks Caramel Wafer Rocky Road recipe
I had never made Rocky Road until recently. My obsession with Tunnock’s products is continuing and, after the success of my last few baking experiments, I decided to add a couple of Tunnocks Caramel Wafer bars to Rocky Road and see what happened.

Every month I challenge myself to make the Mollie Makes magazine cover gift. I’ve subscribed since it first came out and have a drawer full of unopened kits – but no more! I’ve been making more time for crafting and I love to make the kits and hopefully try something new with each of the…
Little house picture frame DIY
I don’t think I’ve ever blogged about my obsession with little houses. But for once I’m going to contradict myself and say that just because I haven’t blogged about it, doesn’t mean it hasn’t happened! I’m not quite sure when this obsession started but over the last few months it has really grown. Luckily we…
