Connected to the popular Creative Crafting e-zines, the site has a wealth of features - including photo albums, chat rooms... and I love the fact that it interacts with Twitter.

The website is celebrating by holding a day of crafty chat sessions, all hosted by different members.  Guess who's taking part.......  ME!!!!!


Do come and join me!

Grab a coffee, lay your sewing aside, and join me for a crafty humorous chat about anything sewing related, and life in general.
Wherever you are in the world, I'd love to get to know you.
I love a laugh, and have a quirky upbeat look on life.  Check out my profile and blog - you never know, we may have a few things in common.

Katy Bag

Today my latest bag design is going to my friend Kate for her birthday - hence the name. I hope she likes it! This is a nice roomy bag, with long comfortable handles - ideal for slinging over your shoulder. For the front pocket I've slightly gathered the fabric and channelled elastic through before sewing in place. To make the bag I used two half yards for the outside and lining, and a fat quarter for the pockets. To inter-line I used fabric cut from a bargain Ikea fleece blanket.... there really is no cheaper way to buy fleece - more than a metre of lovely fine material for just over £1! Of course, I've added my "designer" buttons. I'm still very much in love with them. For detail I've added a fob on one side, with a long fabric tie in a bow. With several darts across the upper third of the bag, the finished effect is slightly puffy. The inter-lining gives the bag good form and structure. The lining is a lovely contrast. I...

Shabby Chic? Definitely Shabby!

I did say I'd share my DIY disaster with you...... Brace yourselves - you may need sunglasses: Snort!  When I started the makeover I can assure you this wasn't my intention.  I had a 70's dressing table that was a nice shape, but a vile wood.  I thought I would transform it by painting it fuchsia to match my bedroom.  10 hours later (2 coats undercoat, 3 topcoat) it was looking good.  Until the top coat starting to flake off before my eyes.  I could have cried - indeed I think I did. Since then it's been sitting in the bedroom annoying me.  It's too heavy to lift out on my own, and anyways I've nothing else to replace it with.  The thought of starting to paint it again doesn't bear thinking about.  So in a DIY frenzy, I attacked it with wire wool. I think I got a bit carried away!  The result is something that gives a whole new meaning to shabby chic.  However, at least it looks intentional and boldly scruffy.  An...

It just fell in..........

to my Amazon Shopping Basket - honest it did! Feeling the urge? ......  Click HERE to "pop" to Amazon UK's pre-order page You know what it's like.......  see a tweet, catch a Facebook post in the corner of your eye.  Within seconds, you've "liked" it - and popped over to Amazon for a quick shufty (as you do).  And.... before you know it - you've added it to your basket and pressed the "1-click" (oh boy - but is that the best bit of marketing genius EVER).  Hey presto - you've bought another book on auto-pilot. Seriously though - I can't wait for this one! Despite now being a fully paid up member of the Sis Boom "Happy Home" Society (now there's an idea Jennifer!) - I now have to sit and wait patiently for it to arrive, as it's not due out for a wee while. "HURRY UP AND PRINT - DARN YOU" I absolutely adore Jennifer's prints and designs - and I just know this will be a "happy...
