It's curtains 22 Jan 2013 | 05:13 pm
Everyday I open and close the curtains and it wasn't until an hour ago that it occurred to me that these are also handmade by moi. I have never bought curtains ready-to-hang from a shop. I may have bo...
Early paintings 8 Mar 2012 | 09:43 am
I found the verandah painting in the cupboard recently. I am not sure what to do with it. I painted it when I was about 14. It was the first time I had ever painted onto canvas. I had been encouraged ...
Red spotty dress 28 Feb 2012 | 09:30 am
I am pleased with this dress. It's probably one of the most versatile and simple dresses I have made in years. I only had about 1.5 metres of this jersey so I had to plan carefully... and it all could...
Sewing pre-1990 16 Feb 2012 | 08:23 am
As mentioned above I was using the sewing machine to make my own clothes before I started big school. At age eleven I remember being well ahead of the rest of the needlework class when our first task ...

Leather coat into cushions 22 Dec 2011 | 01:17 am
How did I forget to put these on here? Especially as I see or use them almost every day. Once upon a time, ooh about 15 years ago, these leather cushions were a 60s suede coat. I wore it a lot but the...
Fake stained glass 5 Jun 2011 | 05:25 am
I had a window created in the wall at the top of the stairs to let light through. Real stained glass was going to cost a lot of money, and be heavy. So I hit on the bright(!) idea of using perspex, se...
Clay Pipe Jewellery 1 Jun 2011 | 11:37 pm
Hard to believe I haven't put any of these on here! I am still trying to find a regular selling pitch/outlet and I am a bit jaded by the response of market managers saying they don't want any more jew...
Christmas card 2010 3 Jan 2011 | 01:18 am
This year's, oops, last year's card is an arrangement of clay pipe fragments in the shape of a tree, including a bowl as the trunk. I have so many of these pieces because I collect them to make jewell...
