September 21, 2012 by: admin

because I need another hobby.

Or two. Alternately entitled, I know nothing about a craft ban.

It’s a cloudy rainy old day here at Chez Dove. And my spring cleaning is so far behind I don’t know if I could be bothered catching up. Well, I DO want to, but there are lots of things trying their hardest to distract me.

Like when the postie leaves a little parcel of Copics for me, after seeing everyone else have lots of pretties to play with.

Or a bag of pretty fibres and a felting awl.

Or Alissa sucks us all into Zentangle.

See. Can you blame me? Dinner is in the slow cooker, the house is reasonably tidy, one child sleeps, the other plays. Now, which do I want to try first, the Copics, or the felting?

      Went with felting, but it’s Copic time now!

    I would probably draw a little first, maybe use the copics to colour in your zentange (yeah, I know that’s not the point) and you could try colouring some of your felting fluff before felting it… or maybe you could just go and bake a cake?

      I’m seeing an overwhelming Copic theme in your suggestions…

    Welcome to the darkside… Feels weird to actually be in front of the trend 😉

Welcome!

Hi! I'm Rachel. I love making things & experimenting with new techinques & mediums. I am addicted to pretty paper, and make & sell letterpress stationery. Being creative is my sanity break from the rush of life as a wife, and a mother of four. I do a lot of my creating without shoes. This is the story of where my bare feet & creative heart take me.

Looking for something?
