Busy, busy,busy.

As the title says I've been busy. After 3 years of card making I was looking for a fresh challenge. Don't get me wrong I still love card making, I just found that I was getting card makers block. I thought giving some other crafts a whirl could bring some fresh ideas to my cards. 
I'd already tried my hand at jewellery making so got all my beads out and made some bracelets and beaded bookmarks. Ideas were just flowing from me so I didn't stop there. My sister had recently lost weight and gave me a huge bag of her old clothes to use. I hate waste and got started on recycling what I could. Lucky for me my sister likes wearing interesting patterns and tasteful colours and before I knew it I'd took one trouser leg and made some cat shaped keyrings and the other leg is currently being turned into a stuffed rabbit for my daughter. I'm also in the process of making a rag doll I've designed from scratch. I'm sometimes quite impatient so before I knew it I'd got at least four projects on the go so if I'm going to get them finished I'd better go and get back to being busy.
I will post pictures of all my finished work and I'm planning on setting up a Folksy shop as soon as the kids are back to school after the summer so watch this space.
