Well this morning Claire, Hannah and I had planned to pop to Wollaton Park for a bit of fresh air and get away from work and the city. The past few days have been lovely, sunny and positively spring-like.
And then this happened outside my window…
Which makes it less of a Wollaton Park day and more of a hot tea and muffins, soup and catching up with your blog day!
So, 2010 has brought craftiness into my family. Last month I had a lovely day with my 3 nieces showing them how to crochet, embroider and do a spot of French knitting too! I wish I had some photos of the things they made. I was so proud to see them crocheting colourful granny squares and stitch pretty embroideries. They picked it up much quicker than I did and they tell me they’re now completely addicted!
I made some handmade family gifts too. A Frankenstein’s Monster cushion for my nephew, just to show him we didn’t forget about him on our girlie crafting day, and a felt brooch for my mum. For some reason I didn’t take photos of those either. What was I thinking?
I do, however, have photos of the gifts I made for my big sister for her birthday. Patchwork cushions to match her bedroom with dragonfly embroideries. Dragonflies are her favourite.
Bedroom slippers to match
And a case to keep them in
There’s nothing nicer than sharing your craft love. Who do you share yours with?
Wow, these matching slippers, pillowcases, bedsheets are so adorable! They have really nice designs too! :)) By the way, I got to your blog through http://www.kevinandamanda.com
I’ve found another blog to get inspiration from!
Thanks!
Hey Olivia
Thank you for visiting and for your lovely comment. The Kevin and Amanda site is great isn’t it? I used to use one of their fonts right here when I first designed the blog.
Hope to see you again soon! :)
