Magpie Maker: Order and/or Disorder.
http://magpiemaker.blogspot.com/2015/01/order-andor-disorder_11.html
Sunday, 11 January 2015. It has been a while since I blogged but that doesn't mean that I haven't been busy! About a year ago I handed out the GCSE paper to my year 11 students. The theme was Order and/or Disorder. I like to work alongside my students and decided that I would complete my own exam prep sketchbook and final piece with them as a way of supporting them through the process. What started as a teaching resource soon took on a life of it's own! Her work is stunning. And it is being used. The las...

Magpie Maker: Pallet Wall.
http://magpiemaker.blogspot.com/2014/02/pallet-wall.html
Tuesday, 4 February 2014. Well, as you can tell from the lack of posts over the last few months, I went back to work from my maternity leave! This blog is way overdue. I have a few things to post, one of which is a blog about our 'smallest room'. Think that would take too many pallets. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). The pallet wood decking area in our garden is finally complete! I just love pallet wood. We were very lucky (and unlucky) to have a build. 160; This blog is way overdu. I have just finis...

Magpie Maker: Crafty Gifts.
http://magpiemaker.blogspot.com/2014/02/crafty-gifts.html
Sunday, 9 February 2014. At the end of January, two little people had a birthday. It was the perfect opportunity to get the paints out. To mark Ivor turning one, I decided to make him something personal. I had been given some blank Russian dolls a while ago and had been saving them for something special. I decided to paint them with foxes to match his room. I have never been to Sweden so I hope it fits the bill! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Well, as you can tell from the lack of posts over the las...

Magpie Maker: August 2013
http://magpiemaker.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 14 August 2013. I have just finished covering our dining chairs. I picked this bargain of a dining set up a couple of years ago from eBay. Think I paid a grand sum of £10 for 6 chairs and £10 for the table which extends to seat 8 people. They aren't actually a matching set but I don't think that is obvious (not that it would bother me anyway). I managed to lay my hands on some lovely authentic African batik. Just what I wanted! Here is the result. Thursday, 8 August 2013. It isn't as uniform a...

Magpie Maker: Foxy Loxy.
http://magpiemaker.blogspot.com/2013/07/foxy-loxy.html
Thursday, 4 July 2013. I am really pleased with the ombre drawers. Just a tester pot of coloured emulsion with more white paint added for each drawer. Easy peasy. The vintage phone on the floor was mine as a child. So retro! Must also thank my lovely friend Michaela for the gorgeous needle felted leaf bunting hanging on the cot. www.misschaelaboo.blogspot. Com I've got a pic Michaela took a few months ago here which shows it in detail. 4 July 2013 at 14:18. Yay, it looks beautiful! 4 July 2013 at 14:21.
