Hello welcome back I hope you are well and keeping warm. It is that time of the month when I need to be sharing my wreath for the month. If I am honest with you I simply feel in love with a ball of wool!, yep the greys, purple green and creams just seamed wintery. For this wreath I used a embroidery hoop well the middle of one but I made my cover much bigger to make the wreath base look bigger. I wasn't sure if it would work but it did. I couldn't find the right colour wool to match the base so i decided to make some felt flowers a little bolder than the base but i think they work. These are made using a sizzix die. I found some lovely pom pom trim in my local craft shop. Using a hot glue gun to stick everything together. Then I made a crochet bow. I really like this one. It cost about £6 to make and took about 4 hours. So are you thinking the next wreath should be an Easter themed and perhaps not a crochet one. I would like to make a wreath you could make easily and on a budget. I hope you like my wreath this month. Tare care and keep warm xxx

Hello it's been such a cold week hasn't it. So it seams the perfect time to start a new blanket and this one is for me. It's a simple double crochet in a chunky knit wool or two balls of double knit. In fact so far I'm just using up some wool so I really need to buy a few more balls but I'm not sure on the colours yet!. Nothing like not having a plan. I decided to just crochet 2 lines each night at least that's the plan so I will keep you updated with that. My silhouette For some reason my 4 year old silhouette cameo is not working properly at the moment and really needs some attention. So I made myself some planner stickers on my curio. I know I've not really talked to much about the curio but it's an amazing machine but small!. However I did manage to print and cut these lovely stickers from the silhouette store. Did you know you can take a look at the silhouette store without owning a machine. It's a great way to see what can be achieved with these amazing machines. Take a look at silhouette america to find out more. My next mission is to make my own planner stickers which I have designed. As always my focus is on my business and I have been so busy. I'm about to start selling on Folksy an online shop for British makers so I have been busy making. I will leave you with some pictures of what I have been up to. Just a small amount of my makes this week.
Next week is half term and I'm closing my online platforms whilst I photograph my new makes ready for Folksy. Also next week I am planning to attend craft for crafter's show at West point Exeter. I plan to take lots of photos. Take care and thanks for reading xxxx. |
