Something smelly...

Thought you might like to see our spotty pots in action! 

They're very simple to make, just stick some paper dots onto a terracotta plant pot, then add two coats of matt emulsion paint in a  nice colour.

Leave to dry, then peel off the dots. Seal with two coats of acrylic-based, clear varnish. Pop in some lovely herbs, and voila!

And here's another...


Well, I seem to be deep in pouch mode at the moment - so much quicker to make then cosies or bags! Here's a little birdy pouch I've just finished, with handy split ring for keys etc.
I'm going to give it a whirl on Etsy and Folksy

http://vintagetown.etsy.com and http://vintagetown.folksy.com

Now, must dash off to make another, so toodle-oo!

Here we go again...

Well way-hay, I'm BACK after two weeks school hols very pleasantly spent whizzing round the country doing stuff. 

Not feeling very inspired today, but am trying to create a delightful new range of something other than tea cosies, so I present to you a small purse for make-up etc made from scraps of fabric lying all over my work room floor. I will post further gorgeous items if I ever produce any.
