Stampin' Up! Googly Ghouls

My sister had a go at making the haunted house I made last year and used the Googly Ghouls stamp set. I love the way Frankenstein is popping his head round the door.

Stampin, Up Candy Wrapper Die

My sister and I made these today in preparation for Halloween. Each wreath took 18 Candy Cane Wrapper boxes. We used the Howwstooth & Scaringbone Designer Series Paper to make the rosettes. The stamp sets that were used were Toxic Treats and Googly Ghouls.

Candlelight Christmas Designer Fabric

I love the  Christmas fabric from the Autumn and Winter Catalogue. I used the Candlelight Christmas Designer Fabric (page 4) to make this heart garland for Christmas. Having had the new extension last year the ceiling is really high so I was able to get carried away creating these hearts. I crotched small flowers for the centre and placed a Neutrals Designer Button in the centre of some of them.

Stampin' Up! Framelit and Edgelits Dies

I made this box set for a hostess gift. I had such fun making them. I have cased some designs from several sources, the most obvious one being from the from of the front of the  Stampin' Up! Summer mini catalogue 2012.
I used Pool Party as my main colour base.The stamp set used is the Apothecary Art which is designed to fit the Framelits perfectly.

Crochet Poncho

I made this for my daughter, I used the patten I found on this great blog here I kept on going until I was large enough and. In total I used about 400g of wool.

Fabric House Doorstop

The Easter holidays are whizzing by!! My sister and I needed a project so this is what we made today. The felt has been needle felted on.

Lego Stampin' Up! Card

I made this Card last week. The Yoda punch art was taken from this talented lady. It can be found here. I wanted to take it one step further so I added a  Treat cup from Stampin' Up! and Lego figure. My son was not that pleased I had used one of his Lego men to make the card hence the finger marks on the card.

Recovered office Chairs

We needed two office chair for downstairs,  .... So I recovered them to match the decor!

They were really easy to do, all you need is a screwdriver, brute force and a industrial style staple gun.

Easter Wreath

My sister and I created this over the weekend. I am really pleased with the way it has turned out. Unfortunately my sister is the one who gets to keep it.

Phone Case

I made this case for my phone a while back using the Timeless Portrait Stampin' Up! fabric. I followed an easy to follow tutorial which can be found here. It is designed for the iPhone 4,I did find that I had to change the measurements to fit because I wanted to keep the case on my phone. It is lasting really well as I made this case around four months ago. I think I am going to have a go at another one in the Stampin' Up! Spice Cake fabric.

Mini Milk Carton Magic

My daughter did her Cub cooking badge at the weekend, we went on step further and made table favours.

Pretty Floral Apron

Lined Crochet Neck Warmer

I crocheted this neck warmer only to discover it made me itch when I put it on, so I lined it with fabric to solve the problem.

 

Vintage Embroidery

I know that two posts in one day are unheard of but I just had to share this happy coincidence. I bought this just before Christmas at a charity shop and then I discovered someone else had found one too. It can be found on Jane's fantastic blog here

Crochet Bobble Stitch Cushions

I wanted to learn a new crochet stitch so I found this fantastic tutorial on how to do bobble stitch



I needed to cover some cushions that I had on the sofa because since changing our furniture they were blending into the background. I followed the instructions in the video so it would fit. I was very pleased how they turned out.
