craftyhunnypie Posted July 1, 2011 Author Share Posted July 1, 2011 I'm making a triangle scarf in Summer! I wanted something quick & easy though. Emma.x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluekarin Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 I was thinking about making a shawl this summer, mainly for cooler summer evenings but also for cold wintery days. I have a pattern, just need to get some wool in the right colour to go with everything and the right feel. Don't want it too 'old granny shawl-esque' I'm thinking of a soft grey or charcoal. I'll know it when I see it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted July 1, 2011 Author Share Posted July 1, 2011 Hows about some Kid Silk Mohair for your shawl - fine & pretty. Emma.x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ygerna Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 I decopaged hubby a 'Love' sign for our anniversary that was yesterday. I purchased a blank MDF 'Love' a while ago, but only got around to doing it this week. Not leaving it late or anything I really enjoyed doing it, and have got some more papers on the way as I've got some ideas for gifts. I'm also doing a secret swap on another forum I use so may do something for that too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 I've hemmed two pairs of Rosie's school trousers this evening and converted a pair of her jeans - now too short - into cut-off shorts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craftyhunnypie Posted July 6, 2011 Author Share Posted July 6, 2011 Tonight I sat & made an owl shaped cushion with big button eyes. It's very chintzy & kitsch. I'm pleased with it - as it saved me buying one for £15.99 - £22.99. I enjoyed making it. I must take photo's of my makes this past week.

Chook n Boo Mum Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Anyone know how to stop children from growing? No idea Clare ...anyone who sees a "bonsai a brat" course, please let me know........having coughed up vast amounts of money for new uniform a week or two back, DD had better not grow until she's in yr9 at least .....DS's blazer looks slightly ludicrous on him now, so he'll need a new one for September, but it has lasted yr7 - yr9 so I can't complain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted July 7, 2011 Author Share Posted July 7, 2011 Here is my Owl cushion I made last night. Not perfect - but I like it & it saved me a lot of money. Emma.x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Couperwife Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 wow thats lovely did you use a pattern? or just "make it up as you went?" cathy x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted July 7, 2011 Author Share Posted July 7, 2011 I bought a pattern that came with oddments of fabric off a well known auction site. I added bits of my own like buttons, Cath kidston fabric & ribbon. He's in no way perfect, but he's certainly hand made & I like him.

jasperaliceuk Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Love the cushion - I've seen bean filled doorsteps which look similar - your next project perhaps? After several weeks and several severances of head, ears, nose I have finally finished the needle felt version of my miniature labradoodle, Milo. Its been a huge learning curve as it is the first time I've attempted a dog and also a model which is on a wire armature so he is poseable. He's not perfect but I'm quite pleased that he looks pretty much like Milo! Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
