A Simple Sunday With Nuts About Squirrels

October 17, 2021 Leave a Comment

We haven't seen much of our resident red squirrels during the spring and summer, but that's about to change. With autumn, their activity is much more noticeable as they stock their larders. Come the heavy snow of winter we'll put out a few nuts and raisins each day to keep them going. We love watching them and seeing which of the treats they go for first. So it was no surprise when I decided to add the Nuts About Squirrels Stamp Set to my collection. Like the real squirrels, there's ... VIEW POST

Gilded Leafing – A Successful First Attempt

September 3, 2021 Leave a Comment

When it comes to 'new' products and techniques I'm often late to the party. It's not that I'm afraid to try new things, but rather that I'm not one to jump straight in. So it took me a little while to decide to get the Gilded Leafing, and a while longer to actually use it. Gilded leafing comes in a large tub that is full to the brim with the most delicate gold flakes. Using it is essentially quite simple you just attach it to a project with some form of glue. I've seen various technique ... VIEW POST

Autumn Colours And A Squirrel

August 14, 2021 Leave a Comment

No change here. It's hot and muggy and typically I'm thinking about cooler weather. Fall isn't far away and a change of decor will be needed in my dining room. So out go the bright flowers and in come the more muted neutral tones of autumn. That means I need to create napkin rings using the Nuts About Squirrels Stamp Set. That's my excuse, and I'm sticking to it... NAPKIN RING I began by making the ring part of my napkin ring. First I cut a 2" x 5" piece of Pale Papaya Card, rolled ... VIEW POST

Squirrels – Another Addition To My Menagerie

August 1, 2021 Leave a Comment

It may be August, but there was a definite nip in the air this morning and it won't be long before we see the first signs of autumn. So that means we're likely to notice our resident squirrels and chipmunks as they begin to stock their larders. During last winter we had a couple of squirrels visit our front deck each morning for a few nuts and raisins that we put out for them. I wonder if they'll expect the same breakfast service this year? Today's new product sneak peek is the Nuts About ... VIEW POST
