I am now putting all my new crafty projects on my other blog, please follow the link :)

Finally finished my cushion

Its only taken a year but ive finally got round to finishing my cushion.

Glasses case

Just a quick, simple glasses case.

Paper dolls knit

I used a pattern for this knit but I am really happy with the end result.

Home

We recently moved home and so I decided to make a picture of where Home has been for me.

Bunting

Only in the summer I can really make things due to the intensity of my course, so I finally got to make my bunting! (in time for a wet summer!!)

knitted doorstop

This is the first knitted project that I have designed myself. After seeing a felt doorstop of a generic house, I decided to try and make a knitted version of my own house. I wanted to remember my childhood home whilst living away at university.

Garlic

Exciting times! Today i have planted 3 cloves of garlic which hopefully will grow into garlic bulbs - this is the perfect time of year to plant them so I will keep you updated on the progress of my garlic!

Newspaper Table

I wanted to do something different as a bedside table, so I spent weeks cutting out newspaper headlines, cartoons, and articles which amused me or was very revelent to the current times. Such as headlines from the MPs expences scandle, swine flu headlines and the league table where my rugby team finished first. I then glued (using PVA glue) each cutting to the table and arranged them so some overlapped and the key headings were where I wanted to see them. I Then let that dry (for about 24 hours) and then painted a layer of clear varnish over the top and then let that dry then repeated the varnishing untill you couldn't feel the lines in between the changes of articles.

Small Quilt

I think I made this when I was nine. My mum loves sweing and we spent great amounts of time working on this simple patchwork quilt.
