News from the craft room! ;-)

All sorts has been going on in the craft room, just lately!

I decided to have a go at making a few brooches, from some

scraps of vintage fabric and a new jumper belonging to Mr S, which I accidentally

washed, dried, shrunk and felted!

I'm still working on those brooches. Meanwhile..

there are the fab four hippie puppets...

Groovy man...yeah,yeah,yeah! ;-)

I have to admit that they needed er umm..a little modifying as one

or two 'resembled Hitler'...so I was told!

Oh dear!

Anyway...they are all ready to be added to this crew!

Swiftly moving on... to 'Liquid Pearls'...

I've always loved using these and I discovered last week that

they have added some new, lush colours to their range:

There was another reason for needing more of these....

someone has been raiding my craft room!

My daughter's craft mojo has returned...beginning with rubber stamping

and card making:

I must fly...I have some more new fabrics to label,

for the Tavistock fair on 11th Feb...

'Goings ons' in the crafty place ;-)

A year ago I made some of these :

They all sold at the V&H Fair and so..

Rather than throw away these boxes (they come with lovely wavy lids), I thought I'd make some more. I only had three boxes but used the tops and bottoms and thus made six.

I just had to raid my vintagey bits of fabric to add that extra touch, you understand!

And I got going, covering the card and the boxes

Giving each a vintage touch...

I'm going to load these with papers and pencils

They make a nice, inexpensive gift ;-)

Whilst they were drying, I took a long sniff at these ... I revamped these lavender bags, yesterday, just to pretty them up a bit!

That's my 20 minutes for today and yesterday....LOL!

(More like two hours +)
