And then this happened…
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?
