Batch of purple necklaces making progress. Should be ready by the end of the week.

In today’s crafting session my friend and I made these two lovely abstract canvases. We both worked on each canvas swapping every ten minutes or so. It certainly made for a different creative process. I think they both look brilliant.

I went on a good old fashioned crafty workshop today where I got to play with ink sprays and dies and stamps. I made these two little beauties. Just love the bright colours.
Met some lovely people and a super cute puppy called Trigger.
