It's been a tough couple of years so to give myself something regular to look forward to I have joined a kit-a-month thingy being run by someone who makes me smile - Jo at Cranberry beads (www.cranberry.net.au).
The kit of the month is operated in conjuntion with Starman Inc. who provide their resellers with a (print only) pattern every month that incorporates their funky shaped beads.
One of the things I'd really like to change at home is the quantity of rubbish we create weekly.
Our two big offenders are plastic bottles (milk) and cans (my better half can't be without his fizzy). So I thought I'd have a little browse around the net and find some creative re-use of our rubbish starting with cans.
Alenka of Pepita Handmade is very generously sponsoring a blog hop to celebrate the 1 year anniversary of her blog :
I was super lucky enough to recently win a give-away by Cyndi Lavin of Beading Arts. There are some great resources on her site for beaders, mixed media artists and polymer clayers and Cyndi has some great free tutorials too - one of my favourites is the splendiferous Resin Polymer Clay Bezel, pictured below.
