ONE OF MY MAKES- FELT FLOWERS.

                      Since having my craft bits altogether I am now having fun creating.

                      I like to hand sew as much as using the machines.

                      And this is a little make I did one morning out of oddments of felt.

                      I decided to make some felt flowers to put in one of my milk bottles.

                      First I made some cardboard templates.

                        Then I cut the same out of coloured felt.  And decorated with a bit of stitching.

                                         I choose a button for the centre of the flower.

                                  I used these for the stalk. I had to twist two together to make it stand.

                                                       I love using glass jars for storage.

                                              Each circle I stitched.In contrasting threads.

 

 

           I joined all the layers togeather with the button.

 

 

I added a circle of felt to the back to hide all the stitches.

                                                 Then I made another, This time with cut out edges.

               Now they are growing. Here is two and today I made another. A completely different shape.

               Do you like my little milk bottle. My daughter brought me four of these a few years ago.
               They even have screw on lids. So sweet. I have used them  for lots of displays.

CRAFT DRESSER

Hope you have all had a good Saturday. Today I just pottered about at home.
Here in Cornwall it was a lovely sunny day for a change. Son had his driving
lesson, three point turns and reversing today. He is doing so well, so proud of him.
Daughter took a break frim Uni so has been home for a week. She is going
back tomorrow, it always makes me feel sad, miss her so much.

I have gained some new followers recently and I would like to say a Big
Welcome. I am only a little Blogger so I really appreciate when people take
the time to read my ramblings and then want to follow me to read some more.
One of my wishes this year is to reach the big 100 .For you big bloggers this
is probably a low number but for me it is high. As it has taken me so long to
get this far. Anyway I will plod along and just hope you enjoy enough to stay with me.


As you know girls can always change their minds! And I change mine
more than most (According to my hubby)....

So out with the table and in with the dresser.


It started out not too full but as I found things it filled up.

 

I can now open the front door without it banging against anything.
There is enough room to store my sewing machine inside and most of my spare wool.
I have a seven foot kitchen table so I will use this for my makes and when I want to
use one of my machines.  A much better solution. I have already started to make more things.
Just great to have everything in one place.

Will show you my makes at a later date.

Bye for now have a great Sunday. I,m off to the beach tomorrow with son
doing another photo shoot. If I take my camera I will show you.
