Little Bits of Pretty in Etzcetera Magazine

Creativity

Recently, the lovely Kim Archer -founder and publisher of Etzcetera magazine, wrote a feature article on our little fundraiser Little Bits of Pretty. I was thrilled with the opportunity but when she emailed me the interview questions I must confess, I panicked. I wanted to be open and honest about our life with CF but I didn't want to be all woe is me because one thing I've learned through having a child with CF is that there are SO many people facing all kinds of challenges. Cystic Fibrosis just happens to be ours.

One of my favourite things in Issue 2 of Etzcetera is Kim's cover project. I am all for a quick little arty project with a great result. I didn't have water soluble pastels so I just gave them a bit of a smudge with my finger. I really liked the text stamp but I didn't have one of those either so I added an extra button and threw in some lace bunting for good measure.

One of the things I have always LOVED about Kim's workshops is that you don't need a kit to complete the projects. You can just use whatever you have on hand. The projects are always so adaptable.

My other favourite thing in Issue 2 was Mardi's Map. That's next on my list..
Have you made any of the projects from Etzcetera? I'd love to see!
