Well, we have finally, at long last, finished our marathon destash/declutter and I can get back to doing some crafting!
Over the past few weeks just about every spare minute has been spent in taking stuff out of cupboards, piling it up, sifting through it and deciding what's being kept, what's being given away, and what is going in the bin. If you've seen any of the "doing Konmari method" videos on YouTube you'll get the idea of how it works. There was much, much more of it than I expected and it took a lot longer than I thought it would. I honestly don't know how it all fitted into the place to begin with. I still don't know how I managed to fill four big boxes with mugs, but at least I know now why there was no room in any of the kitchen cupboards - it's because they were full of mugs! It was worth doing, though. The electrical work that kicked it all off has been completed. I've managed to get my craft supplies (those that survived the cull!) together so that, in theory, I can get whatever I need quickly.
I'm sure it'll work when I can remember where I put everything. Anyway, I am now able to play again. It's a short and sweet project today - I'm just getting myself back into the swing of things - with a couple of sneaky peekies at products that will be coming in the Autumn/Winter catalogue!
So that's all for now. I'm hoping to get back to my regular schedule soon, but meanwhile, don't forget to follow me and turn on notifications of when I post as blogging may be a bit irregular for now! Keep crafting, Keren Product List
I've seen this style of card popping up all over the interwebs for some time now. I've been terribly impressed with them, too. I love the way that the sides of the card frame a scene but yet the whole thing folds flat to fit into an envelope. When I see new style of pop-up or action card my first move is to sit down and try and figure out how it's made. I've been learning about, and playing with paper engineering for some years now so I usually have a fair idea of where to start. However, this one baffled me for some reason, and I had to watch several tutorials before I "got it". I don't know why, because it's really very easy! See what you think...
When you get down to basics, it's just another form of fold-flat box card/double Z fold card, but isn't it cute? I love the way this one came out. It reminds me of a window box full of plants. That's me for today! Keep Crafting, Keren Product List
