My Stationery Wishlist For The Works

It comes as no surprise to you that I'm a huge stationery fan and often nip into The Works in town to stroke notebooks have a look at the latest bargains. I should really remember that I can buy all the stationery online too though so here a list of some of my favourite recent buys and some other items that I've added to my wishlist. 

My Stationery Wishlist For The Works

Over the past few months I've bought all my art supplies for the Jennie Maizels Sketchbook Club course. The course itself teaches you to use multi-media to create different styles of sketches (see some of mine here and here) so to find the supplies so cheap is an added bonus.

Knowing how much I love sticky notes, a friend recently bought me this "Get The Message" writing pad set. I'm ignoring the recommended age of 6-12 and use the cuteness to brighten up my bullet journal!

I adore all the collapsible storage boxes but I just had to own these London Underground ones, obviously!! I bought them a while back but they are still in stock. The vintage print ones are gorgeous too.

There's so many notebooks to choose from (including Moleskines at bargain prices) but my favourites are the ones with bright covers and/or quotes on the front. I love this "Inspiration is Everywhere" one as it would make a great brain-dump jotter.

I'm after one of these mini paper cutters with a ruler. It's a staple for any crafters and scrapbookers to make life easier when wanting to trim off edges of cards or paper scraps. Scissors just don't cut it sometimes... *groan*

I'm in need of a new desk tidy both for my desk at home and my desk at work. I'm loving the look of this Q-Connect Multi Compartment one for all my pens and pencils and highlighters.


Wouldn't it be great if The Works did actually have a wishlist facility like Amazon? I  know mine would be full and I'd be forever tweeting it out just in case anyone fancied buying me a gift.

26 Bands From The 80's : Where Are They Now?

The other day, whilst out with my husband , I was listening to some UB40 in the car and wondered what they were up to now.  Then I saw this post from Buzzfeed and realised I totally needed to steal that idea.   BUT the problem with doing a "Where Are They Now" of the 80s is that they are either dead, accountants (dead accountants?) or in their mid 50's and, having realised they have snorted their pension up their nose, are dragging themselves onto the Reunion Tour concert circuit. So here are my chosen few that form my A-Z of 80's 'Where Are They Now?'   Do you fancy adding any of your own? Art Of Noise.   Last seen looking for Peter Gunn and desperately hoping that Tom Jones tells a "I know A rt Of Noise" story about them on The Voice. Billy Idol.   Currently setting off airport alarms all over the world after having a steel rod inserted into his leg following a motorbike accident in 1990.  Practicing Rebel Yell on Guitar Her...

[REVIEW] Canvas print from PrinterPix

Whilst dabbling in a bit of (very) amateur photography I occasionally have a favourite photo printed onto canvas.  It's usually a scenery picture and used to brighten up the walls in the lounge or at a focal point on the stairs.  Most recently I have had two images put through the process by PrinterPix . I sent off an image of my son after his Territorial Army passing out parade in April (proud parent moment) and one of our dog on the beach from a few months ago.  They were returned within a few days and looked even better than I had imagined. Soldier Boy is on a canvas that is 16" x 20" on a standard thickness (2cm) frame.  Michi is on a 12" x 16" canvas which is stretched onto a thickeer (4cm) frame.  Both have been printed using a gloss finish.   All canvases from PrinterPix are hand-stretched, use fade-resistant ink and tension wedges are fitted into the corners of each frame to aid stability. What do you think?  I'm in l...

7 Things To Do In Roda, Corfu

This year, our summer holiday took us to Corfu. We were staying in Roda on the north coast of the island and had a wonderful time. It's a beautiful Greek fishing village and has the most chilled and welcoming atmosphere I've ever experienced.  I'd love to share my recommended seven things to do if you visit Roda. Sunset over Roda harbour Swimming With The Fishes The coastline at Roda is completely flat so you can walk out quite a distance and still only be in shallow water.  The beach in the village is very sandy but becomes rocky as you move out of town towards some of the beach front hotels (twenty paces out to sea, it becomes sandy again). The water is generally very calm, beautifully warm and clear enough to see the occasional fish swimming by.   Chill out at the Boathouse As we walked down from our hotel, The Boathouse was one of the first bars we stopped at before continuing into Roda. It is perfectly placed between the rural coastal road that l...
