How To: Wallpaper Snowflakes

Back in October I posted a snap of something I was working on involving cutting out lots of circles...... well, the circles turned into this:A curtain of snowflakes (or oversized Christmas baubles!) made from wallpaper, silver paper and card.

This project was specially designed for the winter edition of UK Handmade - a fantastic little online magazine from the UK crafts scene. You can read the whole issue online here (my project is on page 59).

I've not had a chance to have a proper read yet but there are some lovely festive projects including delicious cupcakes, a stylish floral arrangement for Christmas and (for you felt fans) this completely adorable felt angel from Kirsty of Paperfish:

Tidying Up

This week I've been doing lots of tidying - putting away lots of crafty mess, rearranging my supplies storage and tackling the madness that is our spare room.

Not exciting at all (sorry!) but it feels sooo good to get it all done!

My Projects from Fa La La La Felt

As I mentioned last week, four of my crafty Christmas designs have been published in Fa La La La Felt ... and I've just been sent images of all my projects from the book. Hurrah!

A sweet gingerbread house (love the styling with the jelly sweets!)



A cheerful stocking:



Matching rainbow baubles:



And pretty beaded shooting stars:



I had so much fun designing these projects - I hope everyone who buys the book will enjoy them too! A hard copy of the book will be published by Lark Books next summer (I can't wait) or you can download it as an e-book here.

Update: Fa La La La Felt has now been published in paperback. It's available from Amazon UK, Amazon USA and many other bookshops. (Please note the Amazon links in this post are affiliate links).
Psst - for those who missed the update to my earlier post, check out the fab free project from the book available for download from Lark Books

Better Late Than Never...

Oops, I totally forgot to draw the winner for my giveaway yesterday! It's beginning to be that crazy time of year when I get a bit fixated on packing parcels and shipping orders and let other things slip off my to do list. Tsk tsk, must try harder.

The winner was picked at random and is... lucky number 35: Jo who sweetly said "Loverrrly!! You have such an eye for colour combos!"Thanks to everyone who entered! :)
