Another Neck warmer

I did not follow a pattern to make this neck warmer. I half double crocheted (I am working in US notation so I think it is double crochet in UK) until the scarf measured 25" x 6.5". I then 4 x HDC in every other stitch all the way round the scarf, slip stitching into the stitch in between to give the scarf a frilly edge.

Mini Flower Tutorial

I have been designing a scrapbook page that I will be making for a class and I came up with these cute little flowers as an embellishment. I thought I would share with you how I made them.

Using the dotted scallop ribbon border punch out a strip

Ink up edges if you wish

Screw up and manipulate the card stock to break up the fibres.

Carefully tease apart the card stock so you will end up with two strips

Roll up one of the strips and stick the end

Squash the rolled up card stock

Add a jewel to the centre

You May Remember

A year ago I showed you how to make a paper bat using the round tab punch. I never posted what the bats went on so I though seen as it was that time of year again I would show you what I made. Have a happy Halloween!

Stampin' Up! Wedding Table decorations

So this is the next bit of my wedding craft extravaganza. This whole process started just after Christmas and continued for a full three months. When I came up with this idea for our table centre decorations I was not really aware what I had let myself in for and towards the end of punching out 4000 Stampin' Up! fancy flower punches I was convinced I had given myself RSI. Well all is well now and my hand needed a bit of a rest before the next process started and that was constructing the flowers. I did this video can be seen here 1000 times in order to make enough for 10 table decorations.
The photos below show just some of the flowers that were made ready for the next stage

If you would like to see the finished product come back tomorrow!!!!

So here follows photos of the next stage

Paper Wedding Cake Part Two

 I have had the professional wedding photographs back for a while now and I have been meaning to share them with you sooner but we are having a extension built so I have been up to my knees in dust and house reorganisation. The photos of the cake in the last post were taken from  friends that had shared them on the internet so it does mean you are not able to click on the photo for a better look. These ones you will be able to.

The shot below is taken from the top of the cake

Part One- The Wedding Cake

Well it has been a while. I have had a very busy couple of months. I am no longer Catherine Evans I am now Catherine Wilcox!
The picture below is me telling everyone at my wedding how to open the all in one box that I posted a video for ,it can be found here. I made 80 of these boxes which made up my wedding cake, each box contained chocolate. It was really hard explaining to my wedding co-ordinator what I was on about and I could see form her face that she thought I was a bit mad.

The following pictures tell the cake story

There will be more to follow.
