I made a couple of magnets this weekend. The cute little girl magnet holding up my yoga schedule is not mine but isn’t she just adorable? Found at Journey on Long Street. This one I’m in love with. I stuck cork paper (thanks, Jesse) to an adhesive-backed magnetic sheet and cut through with my NT …

He’s the Best!
I’ve had these pics saved for a while, wondering on what premise I could post them on my blog, but now I have reason! My husband’s a champion, well deserving of a blog post, as the story below will illustrate: I arrived at work this morning, sans phone (again!). I quickly called home to see …

Much Better Badges, but still…

So here’s a closeup pic, showing some of mine and some of Jesse’s too. Anybody got any ideas why my photos are so grainy and yuk? They always …

More cushions
This is another of my rescued framed embroideries found at Milnerton Market, then turned into a cushion. Isn’t it lovely? It even had a date embroidered on it – 1971 (almost as old as me!) Why did I sell it? I guess it’s because anything in black just won’t do in our place, especially with …

Cushions galore
I used to make so many cushions, but since my screenprint ink went runny, I’ve lost the passion. These are some of the cushions I’ve either printed using cut paper masks on my silkscreen, stitched with my sewing machine, or else they are framed embroideries/tapestries “rescued” from Milnerton Market and remade into cushions. All have …
