Snowy days

Tis Snowy at moment. But don't mind as I don't need to go out. Not been very crafty lately can't get my head around doing it. Did a bit of crocheting but not much.

Happy New Year

Hope this one is a good one for you all I got some great craft books for Xmas and some craft Supplies a yard of pale blue felt and sequins and beads in pale blue to make some stockings for hub and a friend I've nearly finished the one I got as a kit last year, I know its been a long time for it but I started it and then forgot it so started again a month or so ago and hope to finish it soon. Its Red birds and Holly. One Xmas Book is great its for making all sorts of things in felt kids would love to have as Xmas presents Its called Big Little Felt Universe by Jeanette Lim. It's full of things like office things a computer and stapler all in felt and a doctors kit and a tool belt plus looks of food things and other great bits.

Felt beads

Got a craze of making felt beads at the moment from a book son bought me for my birthday from Amazon its called Beaded Felt Jewellery by Helen Birmingham. Its full of eye candy and tells you how to make the felt beads and idea's with what to make with the beads when you've made them. My first item is a hair slide and I also finished a bracelet which I will scan soon. Starting a second bracelet tomorrow with ribbon on it.

Wet Weather

Been raining like mad today heavy too, about time though we've had little rain this year and the farmers were complaining but last week or so we've had lots of it well more than recently anyway. Didn't mind as I didn't have to go out in it.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year Everyone, I'm busy cross stitching like mad making a present bag for son for next Xmas at the moment its based on a stocking pattern I got in a cross stitch magazine a while back gonna make the base bag in Crazy Quilting Squares and then add the cross stitch motifs separately and then some beads and extra bits. Making the cross Stitch pieces on paper canvas so I can cut round them and sew them down where I want them.

No craft shopping due to bad weather.

Its too cold and snowy here, its keeping me in, can't craft shop. Got some great punch needle books for Xmas so sorting some out to do soon for my next lap quilt.

Butterflies

This week I have seen loads of Butterflies, even the getting rare now days small Tortoiseshell, with many Peacocks and several Painted Ladies, also comma's and Gatekeepers, we have three Budleias in the garden so that might be the reason they just love them. Its nice to see them fluttering about we got loads of Small whites too, God help my Lettuce though.
