Tuesday Crafternoon :: Jubilee Buttons

Yesterday afternoon I finished one more make as part of Hookin' With LaaLaa's God Save the Queen Swap. Can't show you the finished item yet as I don't want to spoil the surprise for my swap partner Marina, but let's just say it involved buttons of the red, white and blue variety....

Have you got any Jubilee themed projects on the go at the moment?

Have fun. xx

Tuesday Crafternoon :: Daffodils & Roses

Yesterday afternoon I spent a bit of time designing and making some different felt flower corsages. I went with a daffodil and rose. I think they need some tweaking as I am not 100% happy with them yet - but I think the colours I've used look really good together.

Did you make anything new yesterday?

Have fun. xx

Tuesday Crafternoon :: May Flowers

Well, it's been very grey and miserable outside again today, so I've spent the afternoon making these colourful May Flower corsages:

 

They'll be available in my shop tomorrow. Bloomin' marvelous!

Have fun. xx

Tuesday Crafternoon :: Orchid Wreath

I didn't manage to finish off my Spring wreaths last week for one reason or another, so I put them aside to work on as my Tuesday Crafternoon project.

I had in mind that I would make two Spring wreaths - a white wreath with little Cherry Blossoms on it and a pink wreath with pale lemon Primroses on it. The Cherry Blossom version I think works really well, however when I came to assemble the Primrose version, it didn't look as pretty and I had envisaged.

So not one to give up and definitely not one to waste anything, I decided that perhaps white Orchids with a little sequin detail would be just the ticket:

I just need to get some nice white ribbon to finish it off but I'm very pleased with it. I thought it would look very pretty hanging behind a beautiful Bride and her handsome Groom at a Summer Wedding Breakfast.  What do you think?

The little Primrose shapes didn't go to waste either, I turned them into brooches and are available in my new Folksy Shop.

Quite a productive crafternoon in the end.

What have you been making this week?

Have fun. xx

Tuesday Crafternoon :: Heart Brooches

With St V's Day just around the corner, I've been thinking about some heart shaped projects.

I made these cute little brooches this afternoon - what do you think?

Did you make anything today?

Have fun. xx
