Christmas crafting

I've been crafting like mad in preparation for a fair I'm doing next weekend... it's a mission on top of college work, I'm tellin' ya!

Mette's Owlie

I have been following Mette's blog for a little while now, and have always admired the things she makes - so much of it is really really lovely. Anyway, this today, particularly caught my attention! What a lovely little fellow...

Gocco anyone?

A little extravagant perhaps, but last night under the influence of a couple of glasses of wine and a sledgehammer or so I purchased a PG5 Gocco machine. I'm so excited about this, I have actually fallen asleep dreaming of all the projects I can work on when it arrives. Sad, no?

My only problem now is the justification to myself about the enormous amount of plastic I'm having shipped from Japan - not to mention the international shipping I'll need for new screens, bulbs (2 every exposure!) and inks. Gawd.....

just an old bag lady

I don't know about you, but this whole idea that women are either into bags or shoes sounds absolutely ridiculous to me. Personally I've been into both for quite some time now, and I cannot see it changing in the near future! Anyway, courtesy to Lena Corwin for the tip off, I bring you Something Old, Something New from Le Souk. Isn't she lovely?
