Pretty Hexie Pincushion

I thought I would start the year with making something pretty, and you can’t get much prettier with sweet floral Tilda fabrics.

I was drawn to both the dots and the floral,…… Continue reading Pretty Hexie Pincushion

These artists below show us how it’s supposed to be done!  I need to have these!!…… Continue reading Beautiful Ceramics – My top picks!
