Knickers and Corsets Galore

I'm so disappointed that college is finished now for a few weeks. I miss my evening class of Corsetry! Oh well it wont be long before I can return for more!

Hopefully tonight I can post a piece about the creation I have been working on!

Pip Pom Pom

Just bought the oh so cute notebook Pip Pom Pom by Donna Wilson loving her creatures!

New Year... new creations!

In 2010 I promise to update this blog and use polyvore more often... I forgot how much I love polyvore!!!



I've made new plushie already and some purses - will endeavour to recycle / upcycle as much as possible!

Upload items to etsy!

Visit more craft fairs and support local artists - maybe run an event (ooo is that too much!)

Commit to do the great north dog walk in June... 1 woman, 1 dog & a poop scoop!

I will post some pictures of my costumes on here as well.

Watch more world cinema and old movies at Tyneside Cinema - saw Wizard of Oz on 3rd January there and loved it even more!

These are my resolutions for the year!

Orange & Almond Day


My Moo cards came finally despite the troubled Royal Mail situation! I am pleased with them and have already given out a few. Now I just have to list more items in my etsy shop and I can get the cards global! I'm so thrilled that my first 2 items on etsy (my new store - SheFeltAltered ) sold so fast! Wowee I have to get my skates on and replenish the shelves!


I've also neglected visiting this blog a little and was so happy today to see lovely people have commented on my first ever blog... I will say hi to you just as soon as I have done here today.


Orange and Almond is my theme for the day, not just because I have just polished off the remains of my first attempt at Orange & Almond meal cake but because it's autumn and the colours where I live are just delicious. Walking Duke (my particularly perky papillion) close to our home I felt sure tonight was a night for hot bath, a nice cup of tea or two and a good book - Tell No One by Harlan Coben is my latest bedside choice. It's the orange in the air that makes me feel that way! The glow from street lights that make me feel secure but in the same breath frustrate me so much that I cannot see the stars at night. The way the normally green grass has turned into a bright orange streak against the blue black path as if picking up reflections from the sunset or some slightly kooky gardener has dyed it that way! Leaves on the trees suggesting it will soon be time for little creatures to snuggle up and hibernate. I spotted my empty Bundaberg Root Beer bottles when I got home... with their fabulous labels - such a great colour. I'll figure out a way to remove them and use them in a collage.


Not sure when I'll get to update SheFeltAltered.etsy.com or do any altered art - here's a sneaky peek though at what I'm working on at the moment for a halloween costume:
It's not quite the kind of art I need to be doing but at least I'm doing something with my hands and it's pleasing to the eye!

My first Blog!
If I can keep up with this blogging business I'll be happy and hope that maybe one day someone might stumble across this and decide to read it, who knows!

Well today I'm re-branding on etsy - starting a new shop, brushing away the cobwebs of the old store which will be closed as it's time for a fresh lick of paint!

So watch this space for updates and more blogs to come ;-)
