This week I've been a bit of a crafting maniac. Every night after work I've crafted, developing my projects from the night before. Here's how my week of evenings went ~ Monday I went to yoga. Tuesday I made paper boxes. Wednesday I printed on paper, made more paper boxes and made two paper collages, Thursday I printed on fabrics, Friday I made a pin cushion, started to make two needle cases and a hot water bottle cover. See what I mean by crafting maniac?
So I've got plenty to show you here. Let's start with printing on paper.
I used those little carved rubber stamps which
Geninne is oh so good at making. I kept it simple, only carving chevrons, dots, triangles and stripes.

Firstly I printed on envelopes

and then papers to fold into boxes,

and papers to turn into collages
The photos here don't show all the papers I printed but they do show that I was having a lot of fun on my small desk.
If you're in England, have a great
Bonfire night tonight. This afternoon I'm making cinnamon buns (for the first time) to take to our nearest firework display.
they all are enchanting
