Bloom Where you’re Planted oh Plentiful Plants

February 10, 2022 by Mikaela Titheridge 2 Comments

Inspiration is all around us, nature, our homes, the catalogue and of course, our very own Artisan Design Team. Posts of our Artisan’s work using the Bloom Where You’re Planted Suite and Plentiful Plants set gave me inspiration when my Mojo was failing me. I loved the colour scheme that

Celebrate Sunflowers Facebook Live Heat Emboss Tip

Last week’s Facebook Live had me Celebrate Sunflowers to brighten a dreary rainy day here in Cambridgeshire. The weather really had dampened more than just the garden soil, it was so dreary that I couldn’t help but pull something cheerful off of the shelves. I started by talking through how

Blowing out candles is what comes to mind when thinking of kids birthdays, so why not turn to Bonanza Buddies? I was recently in my craft room designing something entirely different. I often like to have a craft video playing at the same time as I craft for company. Thinking

Those of you who know me well, will know I love co Those of you who know me well, will know I love colour … but what colour sofa do you think I chose for the new Craft Snug? 

Cream
Olive
Teal 
Pink

My WHY for doing what I do has always been to be around for my family. Being way down the end of the garden has been wonderful but there has always been something missing …. the closeness of the boys. 

My new room, our converted garage, will be a multi functional space. A Snug and Craft Den all in one. One end for hubby to sit and watch tv when I want or need to craft. A space for us to be together in those cold dark evenings when being alone in the summerhouse has been no fun. I can’t wait and feel sure I will be far more productive. 

Kitting this room out has been both fun and challenging but what colour scheme do you think I’ve gone for? Our neutral walls blend with the rest of the house but what colour sofa do you think sets the scene for this new space? 

It all kicks off next week, when we take delivery of our new sofa and the new window goes in. This afternoon we finish measuring up for my new craft storage, as it’s only my desk that will move with me, none of my Kallax units. 

Exciting times but could you make this drastic move from such a large space to this much smaller space like me?

A saying that I’ve lived by and am often saying A saying that I’ve lived by and am often saying to our son “If you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you’ve always got”. 

Change can be scary but change can also be very exciting. It’s a tough one that I know many won’t understand but it’s time for change for me and this change excites me. Having worked in a wonderfully spacious summerhouse at the end of our garden for many many years, it’s time to move into the heart of our home … to a much much smaller space. Throughout this transition I will share just why. 

Follow to see how I manage to transition from my usual spacious cabin to just one end of this room. Yes, just one end, for this room will be multi functional. I’m going full circle back to where this all began and I cannot wait!! Of course there are things about the summerhouse that I will miss, but there is way more to look forward to. I invite you to follow and see just how I organise my new craft room. 

Excitement is brewing and hubby is working hard to get some wall panelling fixed in place before the carpet and furniture starts to be installed.

From #ArtisanDesignTeam member Mikaela Titheridge (@thecraftyoinkpen): “Create a reverse-masked background by die cutting or punching an aperture from a piece of copy paper and laying this over your cardstock. Blend ink to form a colored panel and repeatedly stamp over this before removing your mask. Add a collage of die-cut, watercolored images, a sentiment panel, and some embellishments, and see your reversed, masked panel come to life.”

Had enough of making Christmas Cards and want to m Had enough of making Christmas Cards and want to make something for your festive table? Then why not consider creating some coordinating festive napkin rings using the Paper Florist Dies?

Over on my blog today is my Artisan project that I created a few months back where I teamed up the Paper Florist Dies with Christmas Pinecones and Textured Floral dies. I knew I didn't want the standard Holly, Berries and Pine sprig foliage. 

What colours will your table decor be?
