Stepping up on My Soapbox
This is a little out of character for me but I feel the need to rant today. Read on if you dare. I want to say there are some beautiful blogs out there, some of which I happily follow and they hold my interest because they showcase creativity both visual and written. I have to…

Prints Charming – The Book
As you know I recently did a screen printing on fabric course with the lovely Kate Ward. During the workshop (actually right from the beginning) she recommended I go and have a look at Prints Charming. She must have seen a similarity between styles that attract me and this store.

Colour Me Happy Wednesday :: Black
I know I know, technically black is not a colour as the Jolly Monkey pointed out to me the other day and I couldn’t help but smile and think ‘that’s my boy’. So you will have to grant me a little blog artistic license today. Not surprisingly the colour search on Etsy doesn’t do black…

I’m so far behind on my 52 weeks posts since this is supposed to be Week 15. The challenge was to write a post as a follow up to a lofty goal. As most know I would love to print my own fabric and last weekend I had the opportunity to attend a two day…

Colour Me Happy Wednesday :: Dark Red
I can fully understand why the spectrum of reds is the choice of so many artisans. It’s so rich and inviting and just a little bit solemn – or maybe that’s just my mood today. It was not too long ago that I couldn’t stand the colour red in any form. That had something to…
