Crafty adventures (and blogging) resumes....

After a whole year off from regular blogging, I am now back!.  I am very happy to be back actually as time away from the blog made me miss a little part of my life that I really enjoy.

At first I struggled with the idea of what I wanted to do with my blog.  What direction I should take it.  Then after some discussion and pondering I decided to just continue as is ::  sharing the things that interest and inspire me -  the things I (and others) are making.   Fun things like these little guys......

So I look forward to sharing lots of crafty creations, photographs, videos, interiors, fashion and travel stories.

London Design Festival :: 14 - 23 September 2012

This year marks the 10th London Design Festival. One of the events we hope to visit is 'Enter the Imaginerium' which is a workshop space located within the Fabrications gallery/shop.

Fabrications is a shop/gallery and studio space located in Hackney, East London that is dedicated to upcycling and eco design. It has helped to promote and sell the work of over 200 local artists as well as held crafty workshops. As part of London Design 2012 they will be holding various workshops as well as inviting everyone to visit their space. Some of the upcycled creations on offer include:

Upcycled Shirt and Tie made into cushions:

Also their popular Rethink Rubbish kits. These kits are full of carefully selected materials and instructions to create such awesomeness as knitted mobile phone cases (made from plastic bags), fascinators, sustainable gift wrapping and these beautiful brooches!

For more information check out their online shop here.
