Hello and Welcome to Magpieheaven! Warmest wishes to my followers and friends. I do hope your Christmas was a Happy and Peaceful time and that 2017 will be a fulfilling and a creative year. Have you made any resolutions for 2917? I don't often make New Year Resolutions, but this year I am resolving to blog more and to set myself some new creative challenges. I don't even know what form they're going to take yet - I'll just have to see what comes my way and listen out for the muse whispering in my ear along the way!
Meanwhile, I'm over at Calico Craft Parts today, just looking back briefly, with a round-up of my favourite makes for 2016, so if you have a moment, please pop across and take a peek. If you haven't done so already, do look back over the beautiful projects from my team-mates too. They are so inspiring! I never cease to wonder at their imagination and invention and the beauty and versatility of Calico Craft Parts: Calico really do give us a wonderful opportunity to spread our creative wings!
May you step into this New Year with Hope in your heart and the Muse at your side! Love and Good Wishes for 2017 and many, many thanks for your support throughout 2016!
Time passes and Christmas is suddenly just around the corner! Why does this happen to me every year? I have a project over at Calico Craft Parts today, featuring their beautiful animal craft shapes and some very inexpensive DIY baubles, which don't take very long to create.
Here is a sneak peek of one of them. If you have time, I'd love to see you over at Calico Craft Parts Blog. As the days grow busier, it can become difficult finding the time to be peaceful and creative. Maybe invite a friend or 2, put some beautiful Christmas music on and create a few decorations together in an oasis of calm, or just close that craft room door and get into the Christmas creative zone in sweet solitude. Have a lovely week whatever you're doing. xx
Hello and Welcome to Magpieheaven. The days are growing colder and shorter and Christmas won't be long now! We're not that far from December! Around this time of year I always have the best of intentions about being prepared for the Festive Season and then it comes along all in a rush and usually finds me hopelessly unprepared! Never mind, for now I'm feeling everything is under control because I've created some hand-made baubles, including a little paper-clay moon face over on the Calico Craft Parts Blog. If you have a moment, please do hop across and see this and the two others I created.
Have a lovely creative week and here's hoping you're well and truly on schedule with the Christmas planning!
Hello and Welcome to Magpieheaven. Those who know me will be aware how much I love stories! Winter is a time for tales by the fireside, so, if you have time, please grab a cup of something hot and pop over to Calico Craft Parts for an invitation to Narnia.
And have a lovely, cosy week!
Hello and Welcome to Magpieheaven. I do hope that you're all well now as autumn drifts towards winter. I've been feeling a little under the weather with a sore throat and a temperature, but today I'm so much better and I'm sharing another little spool shrine over at Calico Craft Parts. I hope you'll be able to pop across and see how I made this kindly autumn twine goddess, especially for a friend.
If you would like to see how I made her, please stop by the Calico Crafts Blog here.
Hello and Welcome to Magpieheaven. Autumn is here and this time at the fabulous, Calico Craft Parts Blog, I have a little Day of the Dead ornament to share with you.
It would be lovely to see you there if you have time to pop across and see it. I hope you're enjoying a happy and creative Autumn.
Hello and welcome to Magpieheaven. Today i'm lucky enough to be over at the wonderful Calico Craft Parts, where I've created a little city built on spools! Please do pop across and see if you have a moment!
Here's wishing you a lovely autumn day today, wherever you are.
