Queen for a day

I recieved a lovely package in the post today! So rare but so nice to get something other than bills or double glazing ads!
Thankyou so much to Dawn from the gorgeous blog at home with red who gave away a print she did on a letterpress workshop. I can't wait to get it framed, it will be the first thing up on the wall of the soon to be (and long awaited) studio space...yey!

I have been a busy/manic/crazed bunny lately attempting to get some stuff to gether for an impendening craft stall on 12th November.

So far...lots of hearts, a few houses and a whole lot of mess!

aaahhh kitchen chaos again

Well, got to go sew some gingerbread men now! 

Take care

Daydreaming

I’ve been planning my future crafting empire this evening (one of favourite hobbies) and finding lots of inspiration from the gorgeous Selvedge Magazine. The trouble I have always had is trying to settle on one particular craft. I am (like many others) like a bee busily flitting from one tempting morsel to the next.  My current favourite is card making, using fabrics, buttons, stamping and freehand embroidery. But I would LOVE to venture into letterpress….and the machine I need is this little beauty..

The Adana printing press. Check out www.annafewster.co.uk for some inspiring and lovely images or the letterpress technique. Only trouble with my love is getting hold of a machine! They cost anything up to £500 so it may take me a while.
Well, that’s what dreaming is about, thinking of all the thing I would/could do if i had the time, money and inclination!
Do any of you crafty folk dabble with letterpress…?   What do you daydream about..go on tell me! xxx
