A couple of weeks ago I had the pleasure of being invited to an evening of crafts and fizz at the press launch for The Handmade Fair, which will be coming to Bowood House in Wiltshire in June.

I've loved these pillow cases ever since I saw them on a few blogs, but I thought that they were something…

But now, happily, I am soon due to start an awesome new job so my out of work hours can once again be filled with fun things like DIY, crafts and blogging. But I am back with a bang! A copper and…

Playing catch up now and trying to squeeze in one last autumnal craft before it gets full on festive fever over here. So without further ado....craft your own Autumn wreath with felt leaves.
