About Me

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

Handbag

Good Morning All

The week before last at my Craft Club I took this little bag in and I was going to show the ladies how to make it, but I had t attend a community meeting for the block where we live and by the time I got back to the club Jen had very kindly shown them
(She used to be a lecturer and is very good at tutoring or showing us how to do stuff)



It is called an Exploding Handbag and there is a tutorial HERE
from Scrimpingmommy.


It uses a 12 x 12 piece of sturdy paper or card.
Some of the ladies glued the sides but it can be left to it falls open.

Very easy to make and looks great I think.
