What to do with dozens of Screen Prints

So what do you do with an ever-growing pile of screen prints? They're no where near perfect so can't be framed or given away...But you lovingly spent hours making them so can't bear the thought of throwng them away.
My solution... Make them into two cute books.



So pleased with how these turned out! Love how every page is different, some have one single design spread over both pages, some have a single page design and others incorporate two design next to each other. No page is the same. Much better than a scruffy pile in the corner!

A Sunny Weekend

Time to show off my creations! Today I took advantage of the lovely spring sunshine (just incase we don't see anymore for a while) and photographed my recent projects.

First of all I was so pleased with how this small change purse turned out that I had to show it off! I got the frame from here and followed this tutorial. With a little adapting of the pattern and lots of glue I finished it! Big thanks to Lisa for the speedy delivery, fantastic tutorial... And complimentary lolly!



This I had been meaning to photograph but hadn't found the right spot until today. It's one of my first handmade journals I made for my Mom. It's made of your standard cartridge paper and covered in my current fave material (incase you hadn't noticed). Loving these journals but finding then increasingly difficult to give away!

Where have you been?

Sorry for the long pause between the last entry and this one. Time for a catch up...

As you can see I've been to The Eden Project...
Very much enjoyed my day here but think it would be much more impressive in the Summer time. Still managed to get a few decent flower pics though.






We were staying in a quaint little cottage in Devon and came back rested, relaxed and wishing we had a garden of our own! Making do with cut flowers at the moment to try and maintain that country feeling!

Was quite an inspiring trip all in all and have been trying out new crafty ventures... Pictures to follow.
