I have finished my rag rug! Here is the finished article in place at my front door. Not bad for a box of scraps. I have a few posts showing the work in progress.

I have also been making little felt brooches to fund-raise for my children’s school.

I’ve got a few more projects in progress in my head but nothing to show you yet. Paper flowers may be involved…

This morning I spent ages looking through my computer files for some photos that I KNEW I’d taken. Finally it occurred to me to look on the camera, and there they were along with a few projects that I realised I had forgotten to blog about.

Face cream pot by Cate van Alphen

Here’s one was a birthday gift back in September. It was an empty face cream pot that I decorated with glass nuggets and polymer clay.

The lid was plastic and I wasn’t sure what it would do in the oven, so I pre-baked a mokume gane disk which I glued on at the end.

I filled the recycled jar with some of my handmade tallow balm. Here’s a recipe if you’d like to make your own.
