Sewing Tuesday: Beaver Pencil Topper

Beavers are back in Britain! Up until Thursday people thought that beavers were gone from the English countryside but somebody found a beaver in the wild! Here's how to make a beaver pencil topper in celebration of this wonderful discovery. Beavers build dams out of wood - they chew through it with their teeth. Here she is chewing my pencil. Hooray!

Sewing Tuesday: Two more sleeps til moving day.

Hi! We're moving on Thursday!

Our house is a big mess of stuff and boxes at the moment so there isn't much sewing going on. I want to share one of my favourite sites with you this week, it's owned by a lovely lady called Mayi Carles.

Here's the address: http://www.heartmadeblog.com/diy



There are lots of great tutorials and fab advice for creative people like you and me! I hope you like it as much as I do. See you next week!

We're moving house!

Hello! I hope you had a great Easter!
Sorry that there was no Sewing Tuesday this week, we've been really busy sorting out all our stuff so that we can move house! We're moving to Cornwall in a week or so. Hooray!
I have donated loads of art materials that I don't need any more to WRAP, our local arts recycling project.

Here's some of it:


Arts recycling projects are run by local councils and are very cheap to join. They are an Aladdin's cave of cool stuff to create with. Have a look online at your local council's website to see if there is one near you!
See you next week!
Holly.
