Finished the Pick of the Pots with the substitute picks sorted by a group member over the last third of the challenge. We're all very grateful to her for keeping it going! I made my pieces into a sampler book.

I've been quiet on the FB front for a while, and I've just seen I've been silent on this page especially - only 1 post in 2026!! Forgive me, my friends, I will get back to putting creations on here soon. Currently our eldest's belongings are betwixt me and my supplies/workspace while she looks for work and a new place to live in her favourite city :D So for now I'm working from a table in our bedroom. Handwriting my second novel, typing the outline to a short story, playing with a new 12x12 pad of gorgeous craft paper, designing new colouring pages and doing a bit of slow stitching.

And the Full Deck Challenge #3 (2025) is all done. Just did my last card, prompt - animal print. I also redid one from earlier in the year which was absolute rubbish (I had a spare card leftover), since I'm now using the cards in my journals for this year & I didn't want to keep the first attempt 😆And we're working through the substitute prompts for the sewing challenge that was paused a few months back.

Latest little projects in the challenges. Someone in one group has stepped in to keep the prompts going while the creator of the challenge is tied up with life :) I think it's brave to set year-long challenges & all 3 that I joined this year have had major unexpected interruptions or changes. Hats' off to them for putting the challenges together!

I've decided to have a pop-up shop right here at home in the lead up to Xmas. Hours will be Sunday-Thursday afternoons by appointment. Eftpos available (cards with the chip for tap-payments). PM me to book a time.

Here's the latest addition to my shop. :)

New products, new prices, updated shipping info/pricing, all ready for your Xmas and end of year shopping in my Ko-Fi store. I've drastically reduced the prices on the journals and other goodies, making them more affordable for everyone. I'd love to sell out to make room for new creations in the new year, so please pop in and browse. Is it too early to say Merry Xmas?

Been a couple of busy weeks getting prepped for yesterday's Xmas market up at Mt Somers, so not a lot of posting going on. Here's some more of the Full Deck Challenge creations.
