This morning however, the weather changed and we woke up to rain. Some people might be upset to have rainy days whilst on leave, but for crafters it's the perfect excuse to get to grips with that project that they need to finish (or indeed, start a new one). This is my Button Angel "Blackbird Garden Bag". I love how it's turned out. It's such a good size for shopping. It just so happens that there's a craft fair across the Tamar tomorrow, the perfect shopping opportunity for its first outing.<br />

I've been busy over the last few weeks making this doll. She's fashioned following a Jan Horrox pattern after attending one of her workshops held near Glastonbury. I've named her Solstace as she's my first fabric fae doll and she was 'born' on the Summer Solstice. Solstace was a lot of fun to make, a lot of fiddly parts but so nice to see her emerge from a pile of fabric and stuffing. I have so many fae friends in mind to keep Solstace company. I think I may have found my niche.<br />

It was such a beautiful place, made even more beautiful by the snow capped Brecons which could be seen from our worktable.

I managed to finish some wedding bunting for a friend's wedding, some scrappy fabric ready to make a journal cover (now finished and pictured below) a few journal pages and started another scrappy fabric sheet which is now ready to be turned into something. I'm thinking maybe an evening bag.

So excited to share a new craft I found at Westpoint Craft Fair today. It's such a versatile form of sculpting fabric with glaze, varnish and pigment and so much fun to do.

My friend likes to spend her summer weekends at her caravan. As the summer season is coming to an end I thought she might appreciate this applique to remind her of her summer weekend home.<br />

I was recently given a voucher to spend at Cowslip Studios in Launceston by some lovely crafting friends that clearly know where to shop. This family run business is based in gorgeous rural Cornwall and prides itself in stocking a wide range of quilting and craft fabrics. Cowslip Studios also run a wide range of workshops, mostly fabric based but also include other crafts too. To top it all they have a fabulous little cafe which serves lovely lunches, cakes and beverages, making this a wonderful place to visit for a fabric obsessed crafter, such as myself. One beautiful summer's day last last month, I took the opportunity to visit and, quite by chance Cowslip had an exhibition of quilts. There was some stunning work on display and I found it so inspiring. I came away fully fired up to begin my project. <br />
<br />
I bought some beautiful batik prints which are lending themselves beautifully to the flowers in Lynette's design. It isn't easy cutting fabric with limited space but I cleared the kitchen table and made a start. Now the pretty bits begin, I'm really enjoying the applique on these little flowers.<br />

Certainly sorts your head out and stops you from dwelling on your cares and worries. I made this dresser protector because I wanted something pretty to look at each morning and also because I wanted a project small enough to cope with post surgery. I applique the hearts whilst I didn't have much arm movement and then tackled the quilting as soon as I could move my arms without pain. Love the way it turned out. I added a pocket to the end to store hair brushes, clips and combs.<br />

I've recently met a very nice Chinese lady who has given me lots of pretty cotton fabric scraps and I wanted to make her something to say 'thank you' for the donation. I've therefore made Di one of the covered notebooks below. Di mentioned she has a young daughter, I've therefore made her one of the covered notebooks shown below, and for her daughter some bunting with the motto "Carpe Diem" on it. This of course means 'Seize the Day' a saying made popular in the film Dead Poets Society. I'm really pleased with the way it turned out.

I also wanted a fabric cover for for my Moleskine - I put the two together and came up with this. What do you think?

It offers so many opportunities to make a fresh start. No matter what you do in life, or where you're at - even if it's just changing your attitude toward something - it can make life a lot less stressful.
I'm off to a creative start, I've been painting and sewing a little - starting more than I've finished (no change there) but enjoying myself indoors while the weather has been turning increasingly bitter outside.
I've decided to take part in a Facebook Group which is designed to help people control stress through art and this lady below came from a meditation which made up the first exercise.

Today I have a stinking cold consequently I'm not venturing out of the house. So what does a true friend of the fae do when they can't stretch their real wings? We don our 'wings of whim' (wonderment, hope, inspiration and merriment) and get the glitter out ....yay! Loving the way these twinkly trees turned out.

I've thoroughly enjoyed getting back into scrapbooking - it's been a long time since I've concentrated my creative energy on scrapping but it's really nice to work with pretty papers and lovely photos of my Goddaughter, Nadine.
I think it was my time at Meadow Barn (Hereford) last month on the scrapping retreat that inspired me to get started again - thank you ladies - your work was amazing and got my scrapping juices flowing again. It's also nice to be earning proper scrapbooking points for The Dizzies on UKS too.

I've also found the perfect teddy to set it all off (there's a teddy in the fabric print). I can't wait for her to see it, I hope she likes it. It now just needs to be laundered and then it'll be ready to go :)

The Dolmen played at the Assembly Rooms event and they were amazing as usual. The event raised £1000 ... hurrah! It was quite a small crowd in comparisson to other fae events, probably because it was on a Friday, but it was fun nonetheless and a great chance to catch up with my clan.
On the way home I stopped off at Exeter's Westpoint Craft Fair and bought some lovely new supplies including some dies. My partner's sister's birthday's coming up so I've made her this card. I hope she likes it.

I'm now wishing I didn't have to go back to work and that I could stay at home and create all day like I have been for a large part of the Christmas holiday. It really has felt like I've been following my bliss. Anyway we needed a doorstop so I got busy and here's my little owl makering ...

This year has been very creative so far. One of my aims (rather than resolutions) this year, is to complete the projects I've started and never got round to finishing. For example, in 2012 I started a writing course with the Writing Bureau, so far I've only completed two assignments - I have until 2015 to finish the other assignments (I think there are 12). Secondly, when I was about 25, I began to make three quilted cushion covers and they subsequently found themselves in loft for the last 20 years. This Christmas I pulled them out of the loft and yesterday I completed the two duck panels and made them into cushions - here they are

I began the Lifebook 2014 course run by Tamara Laporte today and started with the Week One Warm up exercise which was designed to make us loosen up, explore colour and some background techniquest to get over the fear of the white page. This was my result.

I then discovered that she'd written a book "Collage Couture" - thank goodness for Amazon, my purchase arrived about 3 days after I placed my order (not bad!)<br><br>
I couldn't resist getting started as soon as I received the book - here's my first attempt at a Julie Nutting style canvas. Your thoughts/comments on how it could be improved would be welcome please <br><br>

This write up is very late but better late than never I guess. We went away for a few days just before Easter and on return I completely forgot to do my write up. Anyway, Rebecca is, quite simply, a work of art. I enjoyed Rebecca from the very first famous opening sentence "Last night I dreamt I went to Manderley again." to the very last page. It wasn't until half way through that I realised that Maxim's new wife, the narrator, remained unnamed. Throughout the entire book Maxim's new wife is only referred to as Mrs de Winter - this in itself adds a touch of mystery and made me wonder how the author managed to write the entire book without giving away the narrator's christian name. The book is described, by some, as a gothic romance but I don't really see why. You could also say that the narrator is the main protagonist if you exclude Rebecca who is actually dead throughout the novel. The characters that Daphne du Maurier created really come alive on the page; they are so real and so well written.
I believe this was a very brave novel for Daphne du Maurier to have written at that time as it touches on themes of bisexuality, creating a character that went against the grain of women at that time. We learn that Rebecca was a very strong wilful woman who had a hungry sex drive for men and possibly women.
As the book was set in Cornwall (and being Cornish myself) I was interested to find out if Manderley actually exists as there are several properties that resemble the description of Manderley. I discovered that such a place did exist but it's known as Menabilly.
Once again I've run out of time to produce a piece of art related to Rebecca but I will follow up when I have more time.
The next book I'll be reviewing on 25th April is Stargazy Pie by Laura Lockington.
