Push pins.

I made these cute little cork-board pins this evening...




So easy.
Scrabble tiles, push pins and a glue gun.
Don't worry, I didn't go and ruin the best board game ever, I ordered a new set of tiles off eBay.
Friends with noticeboards, watch out, this is your next gift!

My latest creation.

I made this messenger bag for my sister Stephanie, who is in Malawi until July. It's her birthday in May, and she asked me to make her a new bag because they are very expensive to buy over there. I wish I could say I enjoyed making it, but I really didn't. I think I went wrong with the lining fabric I chose, it was silky and very hard to pin. Once I understood the tutorial it got slightly easier, but overall I am just relieved it is finished.

Dave was less than excited to be my model!

Looking back.

The memory space on our laptop is almost full, so I had to delete some photos. I found a folder from March 2008 when my mum and I went to Wiltshire and Devon (in England) for a long weekend. Crazily, I had completely forgotten about this! Here are some of my favourite photos from the mini-break...

Colour.

Colour cheers me up.
