All you crafters are safe......

From what you may ask? Competition!

The other day I decided to make myself a little business card holder as not only do I have cards, but I have some in respect of Jim's photography business which I am a part of. So I decided to pick some felt and make a holder for them. And here it is (no sniggering please)....

If you are a whizz with felt and needlecraft then please forgive my feeble attempt. However, no matter how it turns out I really do enjoy the process. I love being creative full stop.....even if it does look like something I did at school.

Anyway, it does the job, is mine and there is not another one like it :o)

It's almost the weekend which I am very happy about. Although Easter is an emotional time for me as my Dad passed away over the Easter weekend three years ago, it will be nice to have some time off the daily grind and be with my family and friends.

I hope you have a wonderful Easter weekend and that the weather is like it was last week (if only).

A surprise Hobbycraft trip

The other day Jim steered me (literally) to Hobbycraft and treated me to some goodies. In need of some more felt and thread I had a blast looking at all the colours available. I hope to turn some of these into a few things soon - very mysterious I know, but again it'll be a case of trial and error. I promise to share the work in progress.

Daisy was also treated to a felt elephant kit and a fairy cake sun catcher, although she more or less wanted everything in the shop! That's my girl.

Almost the weekend and isn't this weather just glorious!

Tangled

Last night I reached for my felt, fabric and sewing box and settled down to create something. It's been a long while since I made something from scratch in this way - the last bit of sewing I did was sewing the names onto the Christmas stockings. It was so therapeutic to put the radio on and sew. It had been a bit of a day at work and my soul needed creative time.

It all went well until I reached for my white thread and saw the mess it was in. I have no-one to blame except myself and it took me a while to de-tangle it all. In the end I did have to cut it but hopefully didn't waste too much thread.

Then it was time to carry on sewing. It was all a bit trial and error really and it isn't quite finished yet but when it is I will post a picture, even if it is a bit hideous!

Hope your Wednesday evening was lovely and that you have a great Thursday. So close to the weekend too....hurry up Friday night - my best night of the week!
