I have been sorting through old photos, here are a few of bits and pieces that I made over the years.
At one point I did a lot of beading, this necklace was a kit, and was sooo easy to make.


This is a bookmark that I made for my Mum years ago, it is pretty big, and was made to go in a large visitors book. The design is my own, and was done on tapestry canvas.

This is a flip calendar that I made for my friend Jacqui, she has a couple of Boerboel dogs. They are the most beautiful dogs. I put a different photo of her dogs on each page. Papers used are k&Co and the whole thing was bound with the Bind-it-all.


My friend Hannah designed this bracelet and brooch set for Craft Stamper. I made myself a set in red,beige and black to go with an outfit for a party. My niece liked them so I made her a set in pink and purple.

  4. The full instructions are in the Craft Stamper magazine from a few months ago. But basically it is a bunch of paper circles folded in half holes poked through and threaded onto elastic. Beads added as you go.

  6. Jo.. my friend Hannah designed them. I *think* they are in July issue or somewhere around that time. They are really effective for just a bit of paper and elastic lol

    Send me a link to a photo if you get them made.

    I believe in the magazine there was a matching hairslide too.
