Hello how are you? Can you believe its nearly December. I feel so unprepared. At the moment time is my biggest enemy! just not having enough of it. All the craft projects I dream of doing have gotten lost in this crazy life. I have often wondered about closing my little blog nanny buttons crafts. I guess I almost feel I don't have the time to dedicate to it. But for now I have to get these last two wreaths done to complete my challenge. November Wreath. Odd bits off wool! We all have them odd bits of wool and I wanted something pretty and quick so I choose these four colours from some odd scraps. To be honest I made this wreath in under 2 hours one night and its really simple. You need a polystyrene wreath, odd wool and a pom pom maker a hot glue gun. Simply glue the end of your wool to the back of the wreath and wrap around the wreath. You can secure the lose end with glue then change colour or just use one colour. I used 3 colours in the end. Using those colours I made a few pom poms and I crochet two roses but you could do all flowers or all pom poms I don't really think it matters. I stuck the roses and pom poms down with hot glue. It is really simple but really pretty and I am please with it. Adding a little colour to my computer area.
Thank you for taking the time out to read this blog I hope you have a go at making your own. Best wishes from Lucy.

Hello I do hope you are well. As you can see Octobers Wreath just had to be a Halloween one. This wreath is a funny one as some bits of it I like some bits I don't. The wreath base is hard to see what's black and whats purple and do not like being able to see the white polystyrene base which I can because I used a double crochet instead of a single crochet!. When will I learn. For those of you not sure about crochet a single crochet would have taken much longer. But what I am pleased about is the ghosts. These two little ghosts I some how managed to make without a pattern. A little of that is that I like a challenge and that sometimes I just do not have the time to watch a video. Lets talk crochet. I recently had a friend join me for a little bit of a crochet lesson. Honestly I do not think I am a very good teacher myself. I would say I have a lot to learn myself. But what I do know is that if I can do it anyone can!. I suggest you start by watching this lovely lady. She has a very calming voice and is great at explaining. Stop and start the video and don't give up. I did make two felt bows for this wreath as well as adding two plastic spiders. I really have loved this wreath a month challenge. It has been a little crazy at times but it has been a lot of fun.
Novembers wreath is well on its way and I really hope I get to share with you some of my projects but I just seam to be so time short and with Christmas just around the corner who knows how much time I will have to dedicate to Crafting. Anyway thank you for reading and I will leave you with a few of my wreaths my wreaths so far. |
