Weird + Wonderful Milk Plastic + Infinite Love

This week has been all about weird wonders, figuring out a puzzle and turning them all into inspiring craft. Let's take a walk through it all:


For Kidspot I produced a tutorial on making plastic out of, I kid you not, milk. I learnt some really amazing facts about milk for this tutorial, all of which I share in the tutorial. So head on over to Kidspot to find out how I did this, and how you too can make this.


I have been playing around with my Bostik supplies. One of which is the Bostik Glu Tape. In my latest You Tube video I show you how to make an infinity card using my Bostik Glue Tape. It's honestly so easy to use, and sturdy as. To find out more head on over to You Tube.

The Twenty Twenty Crafting High Home Stretch

2020 is actually drawing to a close. It was a slow year, for sure. Yet somehow, as we see the New Year in sight suddenly a home run seems possible.

If however you're not feeling that home run I recommend taking time out from your troubles by giving yourself permission to rest, sleep, read, write, draw, craft, or anything you want. You can do it, and it will refresh your brain. Even if you think there's no time, give yourself five minutes. Just five minutes out of your day will make a lot of difference.

I've been whittling away the days producing some end of year projects, and exploring such products as the Cricut Joy and Bostik. In my field of work/play - play/work there is seriously a lot of cutting and gluing. Which, you know, I'm not complaining about, because this is what I do. But I can honestly say it's the sweetest pleasure when I get to operate tools and use materials that make the work process faster and more comfortable. #workingsmarter Am I right?

Making Christmas cards: with Cricut Joy and Bostik glue

This week I experimented with making two very different Christmas cards, using the above mentioned Cricut Joy and Bostik tools and materials. The content is available on Youtube, in which I share my process, and some of my insights.

If you wish to see more of my journey with the Cricut Joy, I have a dedicated page with links to my Youtube videos on the topic.
