Sell sell sell

I love painting. It's just a little release for me. Makes me calm, I like the addictive feeling you get when you cant stop, you feel yourself being absorbed and you can't leave it.
My dad thinks I should start to sell based on a paint I've done hanging on my living room wall. I don't know if its a proud father reaction or whether I should take the leap and pit myself on the line. Lots to think about.

Recycle your tins don't just chuck them!!!!

I'm always looking for new types of storage ideas, and is perfect for storing your pens, paintbrushes, scissors etc.

All you need is :
A standard 400g tin
Glue (eg super glue like UHU glue)
Colourful fabulous paper
Scissors
Pen

Measure the outside of your tin (the circumference and height) and cut this size out twice, you should have a rectangle shape, I like to use different papers for contrast. Then measure the bottom of the tin by drawing around the tin.
Then glue the 2 rectangle shaped papers one inside and one outside, then glue the circle on the inside bottom of the tin.
You should then have a fantastic funky storage pot that's completely your taste!!!!! You could even use left over wallpaper to match your room!!!

first post

Hello I'm Steph. 

So this is my first post, I think i'll start with the reason for me starting this blog. I love creating stuff whether it be painting, drawing, crafting or in my nail business with nail art and i'm not really satisfied unless my fingers are moving. 

I've learnt so much stuff over the years from websites and blogs and I've been so grateful for the amount inspiration these sites have brought me. I thought i'd put everything I've learnt in one place mainly as a reference for myself but if people enjoy looking at arty and crafty things then hopefully you'll like my blog. 

happy reading
