Perfect doesn't exist

I love this Rose Garden stamp and die set from Uniquely Creative. I played around with their Uniqolor brush watermarkers after white embossing the stamps.

Love how simple and effective this technique is!

40 & Fabulous!

Another day of isolation and another attempt at a watercolour cherry blossom wreath.

Another new lesson in watercolours: a feather bookmark.

Crochet Granny Squares

Having all of our commitments cancelled means that I have much more free time on my hands so I'm putting it to good use by teaching myself a new crafting skill - crocheting! I'm intending on creating one of these most days (while watching movies with the kids) so will hopefully come out of social isolation with a new blanket!

There are some amazing companies who are generously giving away some beautiful images for people to use while social distancing. This is another one of them from Whimsy Stamp. Meet Dudley TP by Dustin Pike.

For my last birthday I bought myself a set of Schminke watercolors and am now finally playing around with them. These cherry blossoms are my first attempt at loose florals.
