Knitted bottle hats

Wow is this weather gorgeous but too hot to craft much, i have managed to do a bit of knitting in the shade, i am knitting hats for Innocent Smoothie bottles in aid of Age UK, not really the weather to knit wooley hats but i need time to make a few for the cause, these are my first two i have knitted, more to come.

I was having a play with some pop can rings, a crochet hook and some wool, i love playing about and recycling.  

It's been a lovely sunny day but i have been at work so missed a lot of it, but it was still lovely to see that lovely big yellow glow in the sky.  Where does time go, the day/weeks and months are flying by, i'm looking forward to the summer holidays off from school and a few off at Boots as well, i need some craft therapy.

Well here we go, these are my first Christmas cards i have made this year, i have just bought the Hunkydory Christmas kit and i just had to have a play it's so good.

I went out to collect my chickens eggs yesterday and found this lovely little egg, by the side is a 1p coin, i believe they are called, fairy eggs/wind eggs or cockerel eggs, laid when a chicken is coming into laying or ending laying.

hi, just been having a go with my new stamping system from Inkadinkado, it uses a cog type system to stamp around.
What happened to yesterdays lovely weather, it's been raining here.  Its my Sons 27th birthday today, where does time go and he is moving house today, can't wait to visit.  well night, bedtime now.

Morning everyone on what is supposed to be the hottest day, the suns trying to get through the clouds here.
i've put a pic up of a little man i made, who remembers making them as a child?  Also a pic of my lovely Lillies that my Husband bought me for our 28th Wedding Anniversary, thank you to my Hubby and happy anniversary for the other day.

Morning this is early for me to be on here, thought i would have a chill before work, my card is a Hunkydory rocker card and below is my recycled dishwasher basket for my pens, then i stuck sticky dots on the end of the pens and coloured in with that coloured pen, much easier to see which colour.  well off to the craft room now, bye for now.

Evening, only managed to make 2 cards today, been at work most of the day.

They are hunkydory kits, the fronts are decoupaged and the flowers folded into a pop out centre.

Hi everyone, what a gorgeous day again, cleaned the bunnies and chickens out, did a bit of housework then into the craft room.

1st card for the box, 2nd for Mums birthday 88 next sunday, 3rd for my Daughters birthday, (like her Mum a choc lover) 4th for my Husband for our 28th Wedding Anniversary, and after that sorting out in the craft room, so much to sort out.

well another gorgeous sunny day but back to work after my week off.  Here's an idea for storing my ribbons and all to hand, still some more ribbons to go on here.

Hi everyone, it's been a lovely sunny day today, todays card is from a Hunkydory kit, bit fiddly but got there in the end.

Well what a lovely sunny day, i have been to visit Mum at the nursing home and my Daughter is down for a couple of days so no crafting today but heres' a few more cards that i made the other day for friends.
The sky was red this evening so hopefully another sunny day tomorrow, i may even grab a bit of craft time.  Well night all.

Well morning all, where does time go, i have moved my craft room upstairs at last no easy job, i have so much stuff but worth it for the view.

This is the view from my window, you can see some of my chickens and sheep, we have 4 pet sheep and over 20 chickens, i can sit and craft and look out over them and on a nice day my windows open wide a bit like French windows with no bar in the middle so its like being outside.

And heres a few cards i made yesterday from my Hunkydory kit, the suns shining today here in Wales so i'm off to do some crafting.

Heres a card i made for someone opening a carpet shop.
I don't seem to have done much this weekend the suns been shining and loads to do outside in the garden, the long weekend just flew by, so not much in the craft line, i will try to post the cards i did manage to do soon.  bed is calling, work tomorrow. bye all x

Hi here is my latest blog, not been on for a while, i have had a week off work and spent it doing lots and lots of lovely Hunkydory cards, they are so lovely to make.  I have also made a start on tidying my craft room, oh boy what a task, so much to sort.
It's so nice to see Spring here at last, the lovely daffodils waving in the wind and the lambs.
Well i must go very tired now, been a long day, i will be back soon.

sorry everone haven't been blogging lately but done a few cards and a bag from video tape and recycled knitting wool.  The weathers been gorgeous and my grandson stayed for a couple of days so i got him card making to make a card for his Daddy ( my son).  well tired now i will catch up soon. night all x

My poor chickens and sheep in the snow today and it's Spring.  Also some cards i made, one is for a work friend who is leaving and one for someone's Dad who keeps ferrets.

Happy Mothers  Day made with a Kanban kit, lavender.

Top picture is a card using a so cute Magnolia stamp, stitched around the edge with my sewing machine and paper flowers made by punching flowers out, wet them, scrunch, leave to dry a little then unscrunch very carefully, leave to dry then add a little glitter.
I just had to share the picture of one of my sheep enjoying the sunshine the other day with a chicken sun bathing on his back.

A New Home card that i made using one of the Glitter Girls boards, peel off's and some stick on embellishments.

My Daffodil that i knitted for St Davids day.

This is a wall hanging project i did using various fabric painting techniques for an exhibition several years ago.

A page in a scrap book ready to add photo's, album was made for a friends wedding.

I made these cards last year for my Son Dean and Daughter Kirsty when they graduated at University, very proud.

I love this stamp, it reminds me of my dog Molly, love her to bits but so clumsy.
