Christmas Elves

I designed the little elves that you get free to make with the latest issue of Homemaker magazine (issue 51). Is it safe to mention Christmas?

Paper downloads from Homemaker Magazine

Homemaker magazine have added some of my paper designs as a download so you can print off as many sheets as you like for any of your craft projects. Take a look here and get downloading...

Sorry to bring up THAT day in December but if you fancy making something and getting festive why not make these? You get the kit when you buy Homemaker magazine. I'm really happy they decided to put my Little Trees on the front cover  : )

If I could crochet I would make these....

This months Homemaker magazine has just landed on my door mat. If you want to start thinking about THAT day now it has tons of festive ideas (112 to be precise) plus many other gorgeous craft projects and a cool free gift too.  There's also a little feature on crochet frames, the prints in the frames are my designs. I created the designs last year for a feature in a summer issue (see it here).

Woof Woof...

I recently worked on this FABULOUS project for Homemaker Magazine (issue 21 published this week by Aceville). Once the design had been selected from my sketches, I had to create the pattern for the dog shape and then design the print that would decorate him as well. I then needed to fit all the decorated pattern pieces onto one fabric piece (the reader then cuts them out and stitches them together). It was tricky but phew, I did it, and was super excited to see he has made front cover of Homemaker Magazine - yey! Pop out and get your copy today and you too could make and own this mutt.

Mirrors and other cuties...

It's always super great to see what folk have made with my designs. Lazy Susan at Lazysusanmakes has used some of my papers from Homemaker Magazine to create little pocket mirrors. They look so fab. Pop over to Susan's Esty shop here and see what goodies you can buy

Little notebooks

If you bought Homemaker or Period Ideas mags this month you will have unwrapped a little free notebook in the pack - I designed the little ditsey on cover of the books - super cute hey?

Getting organised?

It's that time of year when you start thinking about getting sorted and start planning holidays and other stuff. Over on the Nostalgiecat Blog, June has been getting super organised and has made a fab. calender and blackboard organiser. She has used some of my prints I designed for Homemaker magazine last year. It's always cool to see what people feel inspired to make with your designs. Take a look here and see how she made it.

Watch the birdie!

It was super exciting to be asked to do some bird themed crafty papers for Homemaker magazine - here they are nestling (sorry, couldn't resist that) in the pages of the supplement for issue 7. In the shops NOW!

Fancy making a sweetie box?

If you do,  pop along to Homemaker here to download the paper I designed and follow the instructions to make these cute little boxes. Good for wedding favours or little gifts don't you think?
