Having seen how expensive copic marker storage is I decided that I would make my own.
As you can see it does the job well and was made out of the thick card waste found when you buy card or paper.  It was then covered with papers from my stash.  I made little labels for the end of the markers so that they are easily identified and as my collection grows there's plenty of space for more.


I Have had a bad fracture on my shoulder and have not had the patience to blog for a while.
Jack modelling not one but two halloween outfits!

I am besotted with my grandson he is 7 months old now and is crawling.

Baby boy jacket - sorry can't remember where I got this pattern.


Hexagon baby set - same pattern as used for Jacks but prettied it up a bit using some rather gorgeous eyelash wool.


A circular blankie for jack - inspired by mikeysmail on you tube.

Unusual pattern- followed the pattern from a you tube video in Spanish, I think but is you are a reasonable crocheter you should be fine!
