Muse Challenge #155

I thought I had got into a good routine with baby Stan, managing to fit in a little crafting whilst he napped during the day.  Turns out he has other ideas and seems to have flipped his routine on its head.  Still, he does seem to be sleeping a little better at night now so… Read More Muse Challenge #155

Feeling rather productive after looking at all the things I have made since participating in Kathy Racoosin’s 30 day colouring challenge.  I am focussing on spending a small amount of time each day colouring and have found that it has led me to feel more creative in general.  Today I have made a clean and… Read More MFT Sketch Challenge #267
