home of the sampler
The home of the sampler is just getting better and better. Have you visited their site lately? The team over there have now added a DIY section with great little projects like felting beads and ric rac brooches, all submitted by makers and designers - you too can share your project.
I received the September sampler a couple of weeks ago - always a pleasant surprise - I have to fight with my daughter over the contents. She has already put her dibs on a couple of items - the earings from eclectic-elements (they were packaged in a rather special way) and the earings from a planet4creation (can you see an earing theme emerging here). As usual I had my faves - such as the recipe cards from Alison Briggs , the cards from lizard press are gorgeous (see pic) this is one I was sent and I love the texture - it’s a reprint of William Morris’ wallpaper design from the 1800s. I had a big laugh at the ‘my perfect man’ colouring book from retro recess. The necklaces from Manic trout are pretty gorgeous. We really liked the handmade polymer clay beads from DivaDea (see pic), the sweet little knit markers from MaryJanes attic are adorable (my daughter wants to turn them into earings - ps. she does not actually have her earings pierced yet). I really liked the packaging of the lipbalm from Jackson sage and the balm was good too (see pic). My all out favourite was the zombie escape plan note book by re-conceived - fun and practical too (see pic).
