Making a reference journal…Getting started.

This is the third reference journal to be made. There are so many ideas that pop up & need somewhere to keep them. This time around , I've opted for a spiral bound journal. However, the spirals got covered with a piece of cheesecloth! A simple wrap around on the outside spine. Nothing complicated, aContinue reading "Making a reference journal…Getting started."

‘Dear Dahlia’ Journal ~ A nod to Wednesday Addams!

Oh I've had so much fun creating this journal. Along with echoes (from 13 years ago) of dum de dumming the old Addams Family tune while bobbing a little 'un in my arms to get those gorgeous baby smiles and chuckles!

The Handmade Journal

Bespoke Wax Sachets & Melts.

It's been such an exciting time this week creating these wax sachets. Delicate 'wax rose and shell' fused on a heart background. The raspberry shade of delphinium petals has added to the romance of it all. Wax sachets are wonderful if you don't have a wax burner or maybe, you just don't 'do' wax melts.Continue reading "Bespoke Wax Sachets & Melts."

Blooming Flutterbys!

I absolutely adore the new floral theme at the moment and in true Norah style, it was through a good old rummage around that I came across these flowers. A bargain and very effective. They certainly bring out the beauty of this Pink shell Butterfly Brooch. Goldtone. 1980s. Working roll clasp 4cm x 3cm.
