There’s been an awful lot of inspirational workspaces on craft websites recently, which make me hate my workspace more. I’m useless at keeping it tidy, there’s always scraps of paper and thread all over my desk, and abandoned ideas and letters pile up wanting attention but rarely getting any. One of the ideas I’ve liked [...]
By Olivia Tabert, found on Poppy Talk. I’ve been working hard over the past few days, making more items for my etsy shop, I’ve been knitting and sewing and gluing and cutting, and getting excited when more materials show up in the post. I’m hoping my shop will take off a bit more this year. [...]
My desk is currently a mess of netting, conductive thread, felt and paper. I’m making more stock for my Etsy shop, which will hopefully go on sale next week. If people buy things I get to eat. Or buy conductive thread. Whatever I deem most important at that moment in time. Whilst I am making [...]

I don’t really ever make new year resolutions. I don’t ever feel the need to eat ridiculously healthily or detox and I haven’t really got any bad habits I should give up to make myself healthier (apart from maybe my raving sugar addiction, but I ain’t giving that up.) but I am making some plans [...]
Today I started working on some paper projects, making a little paper wing for my first little prototype. My hope is that I’ll be able to make a whole bunch of models, cards or maybe even build your own killer robot kits, made from paper of possibly felt. How can all this shiny technology be [...]
