Forever Gold

I recently discovered the laser cut gold sheets in the 2020-2021 Annual Catalogue. The downside was my timing, they were just about to retire! I bought what I could and ran a class around it.

Paper Blooms meets Poppy Moments!

What’s your story?

No one else can tell your story like you can. If you were gone tomorrow what stories have you recorded for those around you? Your stories matter more than you may think!

The bookmark was cut with a retired Big Shot Die. I raided my beadingContinue reading “I’m a member of a bookclub…I must be an adult!”

A new year!

I love a fresh new year, the lovely new stationary was always my favourite thing about returning to school. I’ve been getting organised for a new year of classes – they will look and feel different in our current climate…but change in a good thing right? Here’s a fun video I needed to give myselfContinue reading “A new year!”

I’m dreaming of a handmade Christmas!

I have really basic sewing skills and these totes are perfect for me to be able to get a fabric fix (plus make a very useful gift now that Queensland have finally enforced the plastic bag ban). Full credit to my friend Alicia for creating the perfect dimensions for this bag! If you would likeContinue reading “I’m dreaming of a handmade Christmas!”
