crafty goings on

If you're a crafter, why not take part in this wonderful initiative ... a craft auction! A five year old boy is in desperate need of eye surgery, without which he may lose his sight! Read the details of this urgent appeal here and what you might be able to do to help! Let's craft for a good cause!


If you're a knitter or crocheter, you might like to take part in this great little blogging challenge.

You are set a topic for each day and use that as a guide for your blog post. 


I've never taken part in either of these kinds of things before so I'm really looking forward to them! Why don't you join in!


In the meantime, have I been crafting? Of course I have. I can't share much though as I've taken part in a couple of swaps!


I've played around with that burlap a bit 

and that thing they call instagram too!

 an amazing discovery ... tamees made with brown flour!

What have YOU been up to?


ETA: I don't have an iphone. I've just started using instagram on an android. But hey, if you don't have/can't have/don't want to have a smart phone and still get that instagram-y effect, have you checked out picasa lately? Picasa is free to download. If Blogger is your platform, your images are automatically saved in Picasa. It's a great little photo editing tool and it now has so many new features. You CAN get those colours and effects!
