I’ve always known that I was a late bloomer. I’d heard of Ana Belchi but never knew about her videos and free downloads until I subscribed to Studio Mojo.
I haven’t watched all Ana’s videos yet, but I’m working on it. I was delighted to learn that she also offers some free templates on her web site for the projects she demonstrates in the videos.
Fiona Abel-Smith also has an incredible video where she demonstrates how to construct a 6-sided polymer box and how to cover it with a geometric cane pattern that she explains in great detail. She has a number of other fascinating looking videos that are on my must watch list.
On another note, I recently came back from a trip to Spain and Portugal and my head is swimming with all the beautiful tiles I saw in both countries. I’ll post more on that later.
You never know when a stuffed animal will make you a new friend. Our traveling companion Le Mutt broke the ice when my husband and I dove into a Nepalese Restaurant near our Lisbon hotel seeking respite from the many fish and potato meals we had in Portugal (where the people are lovely but the food not so much. This is a contentious subject.) If you are ever in Lisbon, drop by Himchuli
This is not the first time Le Mutt has made friends in a foreign land.
