MummyHen Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Love the blanket but then I do love a granny stripe Christian - that's excellent - you should open an etsy shop I've make a little cat - nothing practical Still working on small project for a swap over on ravelry - will show later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurpleTree Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Wow that bunny & cat are amazing Wish I could make something like that. Love the blanket too & that iPad cover is fab, really good idea. I haven't done much lately apart from paint a couple of vases. Don't seem to have enough time or energy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Love the bunny and blanket! Both really I got a kindle for my Birthday on Thursday and have made a case for it.... and a close up... It is by no means perfect, but it has saved me £40 for a case! It's lovely! And aren't they great????? (Kindles) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntyne Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 I've always wanted to make a chicken door stop! Here is a link to some instructions that I was looking at only the other day. Chicken Doorstop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 I've made these for a friend whose baby is due in a few weeks....... Felted bootees They are supposed to have ribbons and little felt pompoms to keep them on but I think I like them as pull-ons.....any advice welcome...... and also, I don't know what babies feet measure......0-3 months? I might need to full them a bit more to make them smaller. Grandchildren made felted pebbles as paperweights last week - they took theirs home as presents but these are mine.... Two felted egg cosies.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted June 7, 2011 Author Share Posted June 7, 2011 Ooo wow I love those booties! I'm going to be an Aunty again & those would make a great prezzie. I found a felting kit at the weekend - whilst packing up boxes. Love the egg cozies too - like little pixie hats. Emma.x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plum Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Agree they are really cute. When I saw you had posted Clare I thought you had made something. Come on what have you done, a bit of hedge sculpturing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 I wish... no time for making things these days... sadly. I have 6 dining chairs in need of covering. As Phil pointed out at the weekend; I have been meaning to do it for the last 5 years it's a shame really as I used to love making things... I crocheted, did dressmaking and made a few bespoke wedding dresses, made a lot of Rosie's baby clothes, and used to do lots of embroidery. One day I will be able to work part time.... *dreams* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted June 8, 2011 Author Share Posted June 8, 2011 Claret - you need to slow down & make time for yourself! Just an hour a week at weekends to do something crafty. Keeps you sane & is good for you. Work, work, work pays the bills - but pleeeeease just try & make a weeny bit of time for you - for your healths sake.

The Dogmother Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 if only Emma - as a single parent, I need to have two jobs in order to get us by... time will come one day though It's just a matter of prioritising and at the moment it's more important that we have a roof over our heads than that I have 'me time' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 I know the feeling Clare - when I was a single parent to two littlies I had 4 jobs, 1 full-time and 3 part-time - it was a nightmare and many times I burnt myself with the hot glue gun when doing the evening shift making dried flower arrangements......a hot glue gun at 10pm is not the best idea I used to quite enjoy the flower arrangements and making wedding cakes so I didn't miss not doing other crafts too much.

Plum Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Meant to do it for ages and today has been a rotten soggy day. I've made some little signs to put up on the roofline inside my run of each of the girls names.

I was only suggesting grabbing a few minutes to yoursef - wasn't asking you to give up work!Emma.x What a spoilsport you got me dreaming though Whats pokerwork Lesley? Do you mean burning wood, I was thinking of getting one of those things and having a go. I just used a permanent pen for names and some acrylic paint for Grackles and some micron pens for the others. Give me some tips what's the proper thing to use to make them, I must go to a craft shop and see if you can get paint pens or something The shapes came from Craftshapes Teabag are you going to do some?

The Dogmother Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Ahhh, so they are wooden, I couldn't see that in the photo - they are lovely Plum.
