About Me

My photo
Alicante, Spain
Hi. I live in Spain with my partner. I am retired and LOVE it. I love life here but I do miss my family back in the UK, two sons and three sisters and my Mum. Crafting is my life, I do something every single day. In the past it has helped me get through some bad times in my life. One such bad time was when my first grandson died aged just 14 months. He had been born 8 weeks prem but was very healthy and was growing into a beautiful, bonny boy. It was such a shock when the call came. A day never passes when I dont think of him. I am now Nanna again to grand daughter, Hollie, born July 2012, and Tess born March 2016. This is my younger son and his partner. I now have another Grandson, Noah, born Nov 2013 to my elder Son and they have 3 daughters Aurora, born March 2015 and Arabella, born August 2017 and Arianna born 2019. Thanks for visiting and I hope you enjoy my makes. Please leave a comment so that I know you have visited me. I love reading them all. xxxx

Altered Paperclips

Good Morning All

As some of you may know, I am a member of a shabby chic swap group on Facebook.
A little while ago I entered one  for Altered Paperclips.

I decided to make a little Shabby chic fabric book for them to go in which could be used later to store Stick Pins.
This is the front all edged with lace trim.
With a ribbon closure.

I think I made 4 pages for the inside from felt and clipped the paperclips to the edges.






I enclosed some of my dangle charms too



And this is the back cover where I tucked some lace for my swap partner to do with what they wish.

I do enjoy making things like this.
