My Creative Space – cheating slightly...


















Photos: Second ever bag, first dress and top

In my creative space this week (today in fact) my blog has turned 2! Who knew! I had a shock when I realised. Saying that I don’t actually count it as a proper blogging birthday, as I didn’t really start blogging in earnest until the start of this year. So, instead of doing a traditional blogger ‘what I’ve learnt/ things I’m proud of’ birthday, I am tenuously using the occasion (and cheating slightly as I'm not going to show any crafting from this week) to share with you some of my earliest crafty/ blogging offerings. These are things so deeply buried that they’ll never see the light of day otherwise.

So here's my first and second bags.The first was made completely off piste and I basically made it up as I went along. The second (pictured above) was slightly more restrained affair and actually used a pattern. It was soooo easy to make that I have now made and given away quite a few!

Theres also my first ever top and first ever dress. I wear them both constantly and they are still holding together which makes me feel quite proud.

Finally, if you want a giggle take a look at my first ever post. I didnt have a clue what to write, and it shows! :-)

To hear from people who are undoubtably showing some more recent creative offerings than I have, pay a visit to Our Creative Space.

  4. Happy bloggy birthday - congrats! Off to read your first post!
    P.S. No real tips for making cushions except that I cut them out accurately to start with so that the corners are all 90 degrees. Happy making!

    I don't think anyone knows what to put on their very first post!! I love your second bag - such a pretty fabric and a lovely touch with that button.

    Thanks for stopping by my blog.

  10. Happy Blog Birthday and thanks for visiting my blog a couple weeks back and commenting about wooden cotton reels. My answer is I have no idea what to do with them! I'm sure if I hunt around the blogs a bit I'll find something more creative than popping them in a jar for display - but for now, in the jar they stay!
