Alfie’s Gift
It'sbeen almost three months since I lost Alfie and the first time I've been able to talk about losing him, I don't think there is any coincidence that I started this blog soon after, it was Alfie's gift to me . Whilst I was walking around looking for feathers and robins as a sign that he was ok, [...]
Get Crafty, Napkin Decoupage
Just a few photos of some of the wooden items I have renovated using Napkin Decoupage. The items were all lying around the house looking tired and unloved, or bought from car boot sales and charity shops for a pound or two. As long as the item is made from wood it can be [...]
