Home Decor - New Home


Hi everyone and welcome to my blog.


 My blog post for today is another home decor clay project.  It would make a lovely gift for anyone that has just got their first home or someone who has just moved house.


The base is MDF painted with cosmic shimmer chalk paint, colour stone, then covered with printed tissue paper.  Once dried I used the green part of a kitchen scourer to apply paint around the outside to give it a bushy feel.


I used the beautiful Katy sue Designs Sugar Button Moulds designed by Kathryn Sturrock from Karacter Krafts.  

Items used :-
Katy Sue Designs – Mini Alphabets,
Sugar Buttons Moulds – Birdhouse and Owl
Premo Polymer Clay
Cosmic shimmer chalk paint
Printed Tissue paper
jute string

Happy 2018


Hi everyone and welcome to my blog.


My apologies I haven’t been around, but I have been busy with my small retail spot in Midtown Makers and making samples for Katy Sue Design Ltd.

I am back and my new year promise, which hasn’t got off to a very good start was to blog more and keep my social media pages up to date.  My techie skills are very basic, and I get through with the little that I know.

So, I am going to take an afternoon in the week and keep my Facebook page up to date, schedule posts and put up items I have made for sale.  I am opening my Esty page again where I will sell my items as well as putting them into my retail space in Midtown. 

Another thing I would love to do in the future is to post videos on YouTube, but I have yet to get my courage built up and get to like my voice.


Many thanks for stopping by
