The Makery

Alas no cards made this week, but I did stumble upon this shop on a visit to Bath with my sister. The Makery Emporium is in the centre of Bath (which I found) but the main shop is further up in Walcot street (but I didn't have time to get up there...) They sell lots of yummy crafty bits such as ribbons and buttons and that Japanese masking tape. I bought some sticky lace trim, twine, ribon and a square of material with toile sewing motifs on it. The shop seems to host lots of workshops-wish we had one in Oxford! Maybe its my calling to set one up here?!

Christmas card #2

Well, I ran out of black card (and was a tad bored of all that cutting and embossing!) so this card was super easy! Having the card blank makes life so much easier-ha! So all I had to do was stamp onto white card, trim, stick onto some red paper, trim, stick onto card blank, punch holes, add eyelets and tie ribbon, ta dah!

Found a brilliant craft shop in Wantage at the weekend:

The Stamp Attic

And some more colours!

Scrapbooking stores-American style

Just back from the states and wow- visited 2 amazing scrap/craft stores-why don't we have them in the UK?!
Scrapbooking or scrappin' time was a purely scrapbooking shop and then Michael's a huge craft store. What's more is that they give you 40% off the most expensive item. If only I lived there I could buy something every week!

Fabric Rehab

Fabric is one of those things I keep meaning to get back in to, and this website might have just done the trick. A friend told me about "Fabric Rehab" the other day.

Its quite simple to navigate, and has the advantage of prices in pounds! (I so often stumble across lovely websites and then find its all in dollars and then has to be shipped from the US etc etc).

I like their mini bundles and "emergency budget bundle" (only £2!)
