Mothers Day is just around the corner in most countries, we have a few gifts that might make her smile.

 The photo above was my first attempt at a circular crochet bag, but, I obviously did something drastically wrong in my stitch counting! I love the result though, and since then have learned how to count :-)

Everyone can craft, if at first you don't succeed, please never give up, you will surprise yourself!

  Back again. Do you ever get those days when the creativity just wont flow?! It's so annoying! I was  like that for 6 days,  I had no idea how to get out of the slump. There were a ton of ideas going around my head, but when I sat down to work on something, it just wouldn't work out. I was all thumbs too!  So I decided instead of brooding over my inability to formulate my ideas, I would take a drive,  just a few hours away from the table. I ended up at the beach, a slight breeze was blowing, the waves were rolling in, and all you could hear were the seagulls and the water.  It was fresh, invigorating, (the sea was bloody cold) but it literally got rid of the web my mind seemed to be trapped in.

  #Napkins for Decoupage Decoupage..... is EXTREEMLY addictive. I got back into it over lock down, joined a few napkin swapping groups and BOOM, have more napkins than I can shake a stick at, but they are all so beautiful, unlimited designs, and just can't get enough, so I decided to find some interesting ones and put them on the site www.catcup.eu. We are nearly up to 200 designs, and I am hoping I will find more while I am back home in Scotland for the summer.  You can cover virtually anything with a napkin! They are great in mixed media projects, junk journals, tags, presents can be made, old furniture spruced up, possibilities are endless, my next project is to decoupage an old chest of drawers. It is black and chipped, I will chalk paint it a light sandy colour and add sea themed napkins and wooden die cuts for a 3D effect. Before and after will be posted as it happens. It will probably take a couple of weeks, but if it comes out as I envision, I will be more than happy....

Slightly gnome/gonk mad!!! This is just the start......Christmas cards and coasters coming too, all gnomes!! Everyone is an artist in their own right, never let anyone tell you different!! I don't think Greece has come to appreciate the gnome to its fullest extent, I hope to change that, (good luck to that I hear you say!) Yep, I will agree with you there, but it won't stop me trying! So, starting out small with gnome brooches/pins/badges, then shall progress onto larger things! Have a super day!  The Cat
