Sarah's Pigeonhole: February 2013
http://sarahspigeonhole.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 27 February 2013. Towards the end of last year, Idecided I wanted to keep what I've decided to call a "Year Book". I've loved looking at the numerous Project Life's going on around blogland - but, I know that's just not for me. So, I spent some time thinking about what I wanted to do and cherry picked ideas suited to me. I love tinkering around with my inks and sprays and paints, and was drawn to Kate Crane. S calendar pages (go and have a look, but be sure to come back! Claim to fame, or what?

Sarah's Pigeonhole: May 2014
http://sarahspigeonhole.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 21 May 2014. A Grand Day Out with Mrs Bertimus. Way, way back at the start of April I heard a rumour (I think it was on Facebook) that a couple of last minute spaces had appeared on a day workshop with the lovely Mrs Bertimus. At Hope and Elvis. I mentioned it to my sister, who said "why not? And so, one Saturday morning in April we headed up the Motorway to take part in a day of "Stitchery Pokery". Then we were free. Free to mooch around Louise's personal studio space. These are the pieces I ...

Sarah's Pigeonhole: September 2013
http://sarahspigeonhole.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Saturday, 14 September 2013. Now, back to the finished something. I needed a small project to take with me when I went on holiday last month, and decided to make the Teddy Bear hat that Phoebe had asked for. I made a Rabbit version of this hat for Luu earlier this year, but the only photos I have of that are too bad to see the light of day in this post. Start again, and it all went swimmingly. Note to self - write on the top of the pattern - work in trebles. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Welcome to my blog...

Sarah's Pigeonhole: June 2013
http://sarahspigeonhole.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Monday, 24 June 2013. Create. Just because. Yesterday, I sat down to get inky and painty. But got stuck with what I was trying to do. So, just got a blank piece of card, picked a couple of distress inks I haven't been using lately, and went for it. Distress stains started the background, then some stamping and stencilling in similar colours. More background added with stamping in black and white. Then topped off with Glinda from The Octopode Factory, coloured in with Neocolors. I'm coming to look. Vintag...

Sarah's Pigeonhole: A stroke of genius
http://sarahspigeonhole.blogspot.com/2014/01/a-stroke-of-genius.html
Wednesday, 22 January 2014. A stroke of genius. Just found this languishing in the draft post area of my blog. A card I made for my brother last September. The background was made using dylusions sprays and stamps, some Tim Holtz tape and stamp, and some found words from an old book. The book is one of the best 30 pences I´ve spent in years. The words pop up everywhere, on cards, on tags, in journals, everywhere. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. A stroke of genius.

http://sarahspigeonhole.blogspot.com/2013/11/the-day-i-met-tim.html
Saturday, 23 November 2013. The day I met Tim. Ready for the second installment of this year's crafty adventures? At the end of the summer, my sister, Helen, and I were lucky enough to spend a morning with the very lovely Tim Holtz, (and a few dozen others! Making this tag book. It really was a dream come true! I mean, Tim Holtz! Showing us how to ink, and distress and assemble. And he really is as nice and friendly and smiley as you've ever heard. 23 November 2013 at 22:33. 17 January 2014 at 21:44.

Sarah's Pigeonhole: January 2013
http://sarahspigeonhole.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Monday, 7 January 2013. Last November, I went on my very first scrapbooking retreat. I had an absolute ball - and came back shattered. One of the THREE (yes, three) mini book classes on the Saturday was this Christmas or December book. It was taught by Tracey Hudson, using the Authentique "Festive" range of papers. It was taught as a base book, to add your own photos,etc. I tried to take plenty of photos - and ordered them all in one go, just after Christmas. I think so, too. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
