    Once again my hexadecimal (named) colour does not match my mind’s eye but here’s what I came up with: TOP: From Yumi Yumi’s store – I was at the point of giving up on the old colour search tool when this print appeared. I am already a Yumi Yumi convert and just last month bought…

        My colour of the week (plum) wasn’t the same in hexadecimal as it was in my mind. But I decided to stay true to my method and go with it and here’s what I found. TOP – Over the Rainbow Design was found using the old colour search. This was a really hard…

    My colour of the week is crimson and here are the winners from my Esty colour search. A funny thing happened this week, I started to look past the product and focus on the photo, which is what attracted me to the last two, especially the Swarovksi crystal beads. Just goes to show that a…

    So here’s a new one for me this year. I’ve decided to combine two things I love in a weekly post. My first love is colour and I’m sure every creative soul out there would feel the same. Do you stumble when someone asks you what your favourite colour is? I dedicated almost two years…

    My computer is almost back to normal, thanks to a new hard drive. My darling husband is not convinced that the hard drive is the issue so we are keeping our fingers crossed. On the plus side I have more disk space that I shall ever have a need for – 1 terabyte! With all…

    My gorgeous friend Rach and I decided to brave Spotlight this afternoon. It really requires a strong constitution as it is such a store of chaos and yet if you are willing to persist you can most times pick up a bargain. I almost became trapped in the rug department. I went armed with my…

    These little houses – called a Gingerbread Village are the work of Sam from inklore etsy store. Her designs are very simple, naive and original. This is a tea towel but she also prints on paper. I love the reusable gift bag and her store categories of carry, wear, eat, live. Need I say more.

    Pouncing has taken on a very festive mood of late. I couldn’t resist including all three from a single pounce page as they were all cards – and nice too! It’s really fun doing a pounce so close to Christmas you can see what’s going to be in people’s stockings! These creations are from (top)…

    It was a long time to find the right pounce this morning but this is what I finally landed on. Firstly, the colour and then the chairs – I really have a thing for chairs. I also love the story that went with it .. “This is a picture of Martin the rooster’s beloved chair…

    I couldn’t go past this bicycle charm in today’s pounce. I have a bike mad husband (not that there’s anything wrong with that) and we spent a very small part of this morning watching a criterium that he chose not to take part in. This charm, complete with moving parts, is from Charmed Living etsy…
