A busy time of year as I have been making presents as well as items for friends, see the photos of the "Frozen" cushion covers. These were made by taking the images into Craft artist software, adding a background and embellishments before printing on fabric and then stitching on the background fabric.
I have also just finished some baubles for the Embroidery Guild's Christmas tree . I made them by up cycling some embroidered furnishing fabric onto a polystyrene ball.
A busy week making small owl and fox bags, plus drawstring project bags and I have also made up a number of patchwork cushion kits. My new great niece was born last week and her parents seem to love the crochet blanket with the caterpillar.
Just finished a baby blanket using a pattern by Crafty Redman, available from Etsy. com. Will definitely make it again. Did a craft fair last Saturday which was very quiet but sold a few poppies so need to make some more. Have written my own pattern which I will publish at a later date.
The scarecrow revealed! Achieved 4th place in Ossett festival vote, came behind 3 school groups so don't think we did that badly!
I am back. My tablet gave up the ghost and blogging was a pain on my computer but tonight I decided it was time to try using my phone so here I am. I must have made lots of different items since my last post on June but my biggest achievement was my first attempt at air brushing for cake decoration. I also had a go at using the robo cutter to cut out the aeroplane shapes in icing but gave up and cut by hand, I just need more practice.
Just thought I would share photographs of my knitted gadget bags. They are made from pure wool which I bought on the Isle of Mull and the buttons are made from horn. I hope they appeal to men as they are the correct size for Ipads of similar size gadgets.
A quiet couple of weeks on the crafting front as I had a week on the Isle of Mull, enjoying the wildlife and the good food.
An old friend from college days is getting married this weekend so I made a card.
