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.

Crochet Blanket

It started like this...

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. 

BEFORE!!!!

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

I made this apron, I can't bring myself to use it!

The pattern I used can be found here

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.

Scallop Square Die from Stampin' Up!

I made this rag quilt a while ago and I thought I would share it with you. I can't say it was quick to make because it would be a rather big fib. However, the process was made easier because I cut out all the fabric using the  Scallop Square Die from Stampin' Up!. I was able to cut out five square at a time. The fabric I used was perfect for fraying at the edges to give the rag effect but... it took three washes and several hours in the tumble dryer to get rid of the bits, the house was covered for weeks!

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.

Lattice Crochet Neck Warmer

I had another go at the neck warmer this time in green the patten can be found here.

Crochet Yoda

This is made by my very talented friend for my husbands Birthday. The patten she used can be found here. There are some fantastic ideas on this blog!

Lattice Crochet Neck Warmer

I thought I would share my latest crochet project with you 

The pattern I used can be found here

Having had such interest in this scarf I thought I would add further information for you. I have not been able to remember the wool or the size hook I used. I made the one bellow using Patons Fab Big wool and a 10mm hook. The pattern was changed, I only chained 20 so the width was 10" and the length was 37". It was so quick to make! I hope you like it!
