I'm on a Roll.

This week has been all about being a crafting machine! I've been sewing some new clothes (which I'll share in a later post), making more hair accessories, revamping picture frames and stitching up some new felt badges! Also as the boyf is out of work kinda at the moment I've taken on some permanent hours at the t-shirt printers I've been doing odd work for throughout the summer.

I love old tin toys from the 1950's, especially robots and spaceships, so this is my homage to the tin spaceship in felt and of course follow by a good ol' cuppa tea.

I used one of my favourite annuals to revamp a picture frame. I found a pile of old frames in the local charity shop that had lovely wide frames perfect for showing off the comic strips.

More you say! Well yes I have loads of space to fill :) I do enjoy making batches of hairclips, I've got some great ideas for some more doing something a bit different too. Watch this space.

 

 

The grand openingof CFQ is next Saturday and there's loads of things going on. There'll be music and live walkabout performances going on so if you're in the area come and say hello!
 

Buttons, Bows, Paws and Cabinets.

What's that you say, 3 blog posts in one day is she mad! Well tomorrow I'm going to be busy at the stall so I thought I'd share what I made today anyway and the other two posts didn't exactly have work in them! haha.

I made some button hair clips using my new pink glue gun! The buttons are from my massive collection of vintage ones. I thought I'd choose some autumnal colours. It was fun going through the tins and sorting them out!

I also made a small pile of bows but I haven't decided what to do with them yet. I'm thinking maybe hair clips again or elastic for bow ties? Comment most welcome!!

I also stitched a few patches onto some hats for my mate Sam who has started a clothing range to raise money for dog's homes, called Southpaw.

On Saturday we bought a wall cabinet to display my things on from the local British Heart Foundation shop. It was a bargain and our kind friend Tom helped out with his van.

 

Slowly starting to get there!
