Well I hope you’ve had a good first day of 2021 – as much as is possible under the circumstances. I’m now on day 8 of my 12 Dies of Clarity challenge using the Claritystamp new design club dies.

Welcome to my crafty blog. I’ve set myself a personal challenge to take me through the 12 days of Christmas, as I can’t go and see friends or go out into London. I’ve decided to make the best use of the extra time I’ve now got for crafting and blog a project (actually, 2!) every… Read More 12 Days of Clarity – day 1 January abstract texture stamp
Welcome to my crafty blog. It’s been a busy week, with not much time for crafting, but I found some time this afternoon to make a birthday card for a friend.
