Today I am sharing another fabulous make from DT member Lynda Hall. This photo truly does not do this sample any justice, in real it is even more wow than it already looks:) Today I would like to share another piece I have made recently for Samantha K. I absolutely love cogs so was really […]
Today I am sharing a blog post from the lovely Lynda Hall. This is just one of her beautiful samples that was taken to Hochanda last week. She has created a beautiful step by step photo tutorial: Hello!! Today I am sharing with you my first project as a member of Samantha’s design team. When […]
A little later than i wanted to post! But to say things are hectic is a huge understatement lol. I wanted to say a humongous thank you to you all, for making my first TV shows with Hochanda the huge success that they were.??? I can’t believe everything sold out (more than once) and I’m […]
The Date is nearly here! February 13th 2018 sees the launch of the Samantha K, new MDF designs and the first ever TV appearance for the company! I really haven’t shared enough or been active enough on the blog recently! I know I know something i really do need to sort out. But it has […]

Today I’m sharing a sneek peek for a make from the wonderful Deborah Wainwright. You can find a tutorial and lots more photos over on the Mixed up Mag blog HERE Debs has used a few of the products, including the cogs, Pendulum clock and the inner rings from the elegant frames set.

Well I’m a bit late to the party lol, but I couldn’t not share this amazing journal made by Katy Leitch from Mixed up Mag. Katy has used some of the gorgeous mixed media pieces and what stunning colours! You can find more details and a photo tutorial over on the Mixed up Mag blog […]
Today I’m sharing another make from the fabulous Mags Woodcock. Again Mags has used feathers from our simple feather set, but this is a very different look to the simple design used with the last feather. The great thing is, the feathers come in packs of 3 so both projects can be created with the […]
Hey everyone, I hope you are having a great day? This next project was created using one of our bigger cog hearts and our mixed cogs. I just love the texture and colours created on this…..stunning! The metal elements are from Finnabairs collection I do love steam punk / mechanical makes, but even if […]
Yippeeee……Its nearly time to move into the new studio! I will certainly be celebrating once I’m in there. A few more bits to finish (some of which the builder can do once i’m in there) and I need to decide whats going where, but other than that, fingers crossed it will be very soon. 🙂 […]
These were a customer share from quite some time ago! (smacks back of hand) I still wanted to share them as I’m a little in love with the colours! Look at those bunnies……Soooooooo cute! You can find more lovely creations from the lovely lady Nicole that made these HERE Sam I hope you will […]
I’m back again with another gorgeous make from Mags Woodcock. This was created using our simple feather MDF piece and it’s such a simple yet effective idea. It looks so striking. Mags has used a paint pen to draw the doodling on the feather and then added it to a simple Kraft card blank. I […]
So finally I added some of the mixed media bits to the website! There is still more to add but something is better than nothing right? I hope you love the mixed media pieces as much as I do. They can be used for all kinds of crafty projects and don’t forget to think outside […]
Recently I have had the pleasure of working with the wonderful Mags Woodcock, who’s work blows me away! Not just are Mags creations amazing, the creativity she has in seeing something different to the norm in our items, is what makes me smile every time I see what she has made. Take for example the […]
Well I’ve done it again! Left it a while since my last blog post and newsletter! But in my defence you are all keeping me very very busy and I’d rather make sure your lovely orders get out correctly and promptly, so sometimes I just can’t find those extra minutes in the day to get […]
Elegant Frame These stunning frames have been on my drawing board for some time! I’m so glad I got them finished and cut. They are so beautiful and delicate, yet sturdy enough to hold up to some great mixed media work. They also all come with the separate inners, that can be used with […]
A recent special request….Black Santa buttons They look really cool, although they are not something I normally offer as the black acrylic makes them more expensive than the red or natural. But I loved how they looked and so did the customer 🙂 Sam x To keep up to date with the blog and for […]
Has the Tin man been here These gorgeous mechanical shapes of a cog heart are now available on the website. There are smaller sizes great for adding to projects and larger sizes great for using as your base piece. Hopefully I’ll actually get a chance to have a play with these, as I love […]
Cute Pug alert Hot off the laser is this cute little fellow. If only my eldest wasn’t travelling at the moment, as this is certainly someone she would love to meet! (She loves pugs) This one was intended for a bow holder, but I may revamp the pug Christmas decorations as this little guy is […]
First attempt at water colouring, late at night while waiting for a job on the laser to finish. I messed up the face & the printed lines smudged, but pleased for my first watercolour attempt with my new gansai tambi watercolours that I got with a birthday voucher 🙂 The gorgeous image was from ‘all […]
