Yup. Still going.

This one wasn't actually our idea, it was gifted to us by the lovely Helena. So, thanks Helena, here it is:


We think this one is pretty clever. As with all open flames, don't leave unattended.Also, don't eat them, even though they look yummy.

We're still finding uses for Washi.

We had a slice of cake left over from Tuesday night's Knit & Natter. Perfect for displaying these pretty Washi flags; all you need are some skewers and a pair of scissors. And some Washi tape of course, available to purchase in our Etsy shop if you're not local to us!


These look great on plain frosted cake with some tapered birthday candles. We've used man-sized...

Yes. Part 9. Is there no end to the uses of this fabulous stuff? We think not.

Here we have some classy wooden cutlery with decorated handles! Sorry there are no knives and forks, they came with take-out from our new Leamington branch of Wagamama (Yum!), and we used the other bits!

We'll probably have some more examples of wrapping up with Washi, but here is the first:

Yes, even more uses...

Below we have encased a nicely maliable section of wire in Washi, to make a fetching bag tie.


Great for favours, gifts or just the prettiest lunch box around!

You can now buy Washi in our Etsy Shop, we're having to remove our bits and bobs from bigcartel to make way for craft class bookings... Watch this space! More Etsy listings to follow.

The Washi keyboard being part 1.

Here we have a plain old kraft notebook, decorated with beloved Washi stripes.


We finished off the rough edges inside with more washi. Another example can be found here, along with a handy tutorial! They have cut theirs off at the edges, also cool.

No, don't wash your keyboard, that might break it. Washi your keyboad, so it looks just lovely, like this one:


As found at Tinkering Times.

Now I have an old Microsoft keyboard at home that I just can't seem to find a replacement for, despite it being the ugliest thing. I just can't type on anything else. The letters are nicely separated and stand proud of the board, which is nicely sloped and so...
