How did you find CO+K and why did you join?
I stumbled across Cut Out And Keep when i was searching the internet for a pattern. I found a project for a Guitar bag on the website and then started to look around and loved the idea of people sharing their ideas and projects so i decided to sign up.
What projects are you currently working on?
I have a few crochet projects on the go at the moment - scarves and gloves as it is freezing here!

Ursula from Home Made by Carmona recreates the elegant home of Brooke Shields.
Brook Shields home is a beautiful mix of traditional elements while curating rich eclectic pieces. I love how moody her spaces are without feeling stuffy or antiquated. The style of her home can be achieved by employing dark colors on your walls, and mixing the new with the old. Don't forget to bring in a variety of materials from beautiful wood pieces, to marble, to lucite, and don't forget that bit of brass or gold accents! Use these projects as a place to start, as each of these elements can easily be customized to become the style found in Brooke Shields home.

The best thing about living in Slovenj Gradec is that it's a small, unknown middle-aged town that has everything you need – a town center with all the shops, museums, parks, historical buildings and the surrounding hills that provide a peaceful place for everyone.

Come behind the scenes at Running with a Glue Gun and tour Katie's toy-filled craft room.
My favorite thing about my space, is my two shelves that are covered with antique finds and craft supplies. When you walk into my craft room it's the first thing you see and really grabs your attention. I've always loved it when a friend or family member has walk into my craft room and has just gotten lost in the ''sight seeing'' of it all. The shelves and there contents, really describe my personality (in a nutshell) and just makes me happy to look at every time I craft.
