Down at craft corner

Way back in August, I decided to start this blog. As I'm sure I've mentioned once or twice, I was heavily influenced by the only blog I read at the time; Mrs Priss, who after posting about her crafty area inspired me to create my own craft corner, be more true to my creative side and blog about the results.

So there it is, my craft area, it's been almost a year in the making but I've finally gotten round to revealing it to you

Decorative letters, bunting and my 'wall of frame'

and some under the desk storage. Usually I end up doing crafty things all spread out over the floor in front of this desk rather than on it, and I have yet to get hold of the perfect chair but the intention is there.

M.A.D cards

As you can see, I've been having fun this evening making propaganda for this humble slice of the web. Check out my CUTE stamp set too, it's by a designer called Alice Melvin. She has drawn bunting, so I'm obviously already in love!

I can't wait to play with this set more. I am tempted by Christmas cards but I'm really can't do that to myself again. I made forty last year, yes forty. Which, by the way, is the number that makes cutting out little felt Christmas tree's hell!

Anyway, what do you think?

It's all coming together...

If anyone has been reading since the beginning then you may remember me mentioning about my craft corner. Well it is beginning to take shape, and I'm very excited about it - not least by my Cath Kidston, Laura Ashley and Liberty fabric BUNTING yes, that's what I said, Bunting! that I bought at the weekend.

I'm still missing that antique desk to spray silver though...I need to find it soon because the suspense of my half finished craft corner is killing me!

Other than the bunting, one other thing that is to be a feature of this infamous craft corner is my decorative lettering, I bought some cardboard letters for 99p each in creativity and jazzed them up a bit.


The 'A' and 'L' are both done in sticky back plastic from B and Q (blue peter eat your heart out) Then the 'I' is from an old clinique promo wash bag which I totally massacred and used a seam down the middle and some of the lining to create a fringed edge. The 'C' is literally just sprayed silver and the 'E' is Cath Kidston print cut out of one of their catalogues. Can you tell I love Cath Kidston yet?

Be Inspired
