Yummy Bracelet

I went to visit my friend Dot for a cup of coffee and guess how excited I was when she got out some beads and showed me how to make this Yummy Bracelet! It fastens with a tiny magnetic clasp. I've not really done any beading like this before, but it was quite easy and lots of fun.

Card making

At the beginning of March I went on a card making course at Colmans in Northamptonshire and we made a card from an A4 sheet with five pop up butterflies. I have adapted this to use a 5 inch square card and only three butterflies. I made some for friends who celebrate Easter

Tank Top

I finished this tank top in March - it is a commercial pattern using double knitting yarn.

February 2010

Sorry about the delay on February's page. I was away at the end of February and beginning of March and have been frantically busy since I got back..... so here it is.... I now have the next 7 days of March to do.

Today I went to the Antique Textile Fair in Manchester and will take some photos tomorrow of my purchases and put them on here.

January has ended!!

Here's my page for January... the last Monday still needs some things sticking on it - but I can't seem to find where I put them. But it was something to do with the restaurant in Polish class..... there are some little food stickers hiding somewhere in my house - maybe the visiting cat (Puss Puss) has hidden them!

Happy Retirement

Here's a little postcard for Jackie who is retiring from nursing on Tuesday 26 January to start a life of quilting, quilting and more quilting! It measures 6" by 4".

Tom loves London

Tom (#1 Son)'s Grandma Betty lives in a care home. I promised to let her have some photos of Tom that I had taken on a recent trip to London (this was in November 2009). I decided to make her a mini book. Well actually I thought I'd better make one for his other Granny too and I just had to have one for myself. So I am busy making THREE identical mini books. I have just finished the first one which is for me. All the others are ready with double sided tape on the back of the photos and embellishments all ready to go.

I've just taken the photos and blanked out any identifiable information - but it still gives you the idea of the mini book, which is 5 inch square with stickers and ribbons from my stash!
