Over at Crafter..oo! we have all been hard at work donating items for the shop which has kindly been featured for today and tomorrow by the folks at folksy Please do take a peak and for those of you that would normally be making a donation to Comic Relief anyway, why not get something back for your donation!

A huge thank you to Kerry from Pennydog Jewellery who came up with this inspired idea and has worked really hard to list the Crafter..oo! members items .

Latest Designs

My 1st Picture is of these Large Paisley Design Fabric and Glass Coasters.

These are 4 inches square. I needed to make them waterproof at the back and decided to use Evirotex Lite coating, which is an epoxy resin that dries as clear as glass and has a lovely sheen!!


I also had some Beautiful Butterfly fabric and decided to make these Decorative Tiles, that could also be used as Coasters, though these are a bit smaller - 3 inches square.

I have actually made a few more, but have yet to get them completely cleaned up. I nearly chopped my finger off with my stanley knife this morning!!
This last Picture is the reverse side that has been coated with resin!

I am really pleased with the results and hope to have them for sale in my Folksy shop soon.

Crafteroo Does Comic Relief on Folksy

The fabulous people over at Crafteroo have been busy making lots of lovely items for their Comic Relief Shop on Folksy!

It was the brainchild of Kerry from Pennydog Jewellery and is already making lots of lolly for Comic Relief!

I fell in love instantly with Samantha the Sock Monkey which was kindly donated to the shop by LilyLola and there are more of her creations in her own shop too!!



After her inspiration I realised that I had some Monkey fabric and made these to donate too!!




Fingers crossed the site will make lots and lots of money for a great cause!!

Picture Tile Pendants


Here is a New item I have been working on this week. I was asked by the lovely Jill of Autumn Jewels for some tile blanks and I thought I would see what I could do with them too!!!


I am delighted with the results so far and hope to have a few different ones on my website very soon.

I have been busy working on a few new things to add at the end of my sale on 25th Jan!
