The Buttonholes

4th October 2017 Holly Stubbert

So I'm still talking about my wedding. I can't help that, it was all consuming for about a year! I really don't have that much else to talk about. Anyway, buttonholes, carrying on with the handmade theme and still not wanting to spend money on flowers, I forged ahead with making the button holes. These...

The Bouquets

12th September 201718th September 2017 Holly Stubbert

Here I'm going to talk about the items for the wedding that took the greatest amount of time and effort. My husband and I decided early on in the engagement not to spend money on flowers. We both agreed that they were horribly expensive and you couldn't keep them afterwards anyway. So we decided to...

The Wedding

3rd September 2017 Holly Stubbert

Well it's hard to believe that the wedding was a week ago now. All the guests have gone home, work tomorrow and back to earth with a bump. It's been a while since I've been on here blogging but I've been a little busy. All my crafty time and effort has gone into making things...

Pottery

In September last year I took a pottery evening class at the local college with my dad. My dad is very creative and has done a lot of pottery in the past and has produced some really nice pieces. Anyway, the class was pretty good. We learnt a lot of different techniques; pinch pots, coil...

Handmade wedding

11th August 2016 Holly Stubbert

Back in January my partner proposed, quite unexpectedly. So now we have a wedding to plan. We have booked all the big things; venue, celebrant, band etc. but these are all coming at a cost...a huge cost. You tag the word 'wedding' onto something and you instantly have a licence to print money! So, what...

Puffins

22nd May 2016 Holly Stubbert

Hi all. Just wanted to talk about a new addition to the jewellery set. Puffins. These little birds are so cute and can be found around the islands in the channel. I haven't seen any yet but it is on my list of things I really want to do. There is a company in Guernsey...

New bird design

8th July 201522nd May 2016 Holly Stubbert

Hi everyone. This blog is about my new bird design. I'll be using it in my shrinky dink work. As you can see it's a bird motive. I was actually inspired one day whilst at work...at the tip. Let me explain. I do environmental monitoring of the landfill sites here on our little island. I was...

Hello crafty people!

27th May 201512th May 2016 Holly Stubbert

Hello crafty people. This is my new website and I'm trying this whole blogging malarkey. This is a new concept to me, as, other than using facebook and occasionally twitter, I have never blogged before. I mean, who wants to hear what I've got to say? Even on facebook and twitter I don't say much....
