Songbird Collection

Today I should have been at Create and Craft with the Couture Collection cutting dies but unfortunately I ended up quite poorly with an underarm abscess and had to have surgery on Monday.

I had planned to do this project as one of my demo’s and had all of the pieces cut out so I’ve put it together to show you here.

The 6 sided milk carton box was made from a 4 sided template I had but it worked out pretty good after a little alteration, the songbird collect was used, this is the reflection dies.

As you can see it makes the perfect gift box.

Don’t forget the Couture collection are on special offer buy one and get one free if you are a member of the Create and Craft Club, this is a mahousive saving.

one more show tonight at 7pm so don't miss out.

Craftinater Couture card

A stepper card made on one of yesterday's Craftinator shows at Create and Craft, it was made with the Mariposa collection.

Such a pretty die set.

I have another show on Friday at 6pm, hope you can join me.

Adventures of Ted (crochet)

I just couldn’t resist dressing Ted in the Photo Props before I handed them over.

I’ve loads more ideas to make more props so I have a feeling my hooks are going to be very busy.

All Finished Engagement Cake (Cake Lace)

I managed to get the cake finished, I have to say that it has been so long since I did any cake decorating I was worried how this would turn out.

Natalie loves it so that is a relief.

I even tried the Cake Lace for the first time, I have to say that it is so easy to do and so very impressive to look at.

I made all of the roses leaves and hearts and even did a bit of piping, Not too shabby considering how long it is since I did any of this.

Crochet photography

I have to day that the title of this is a bit tongue in cheek, what I have actually been doing is making crochet photography props.

We have friends in the photography business and when they told me what they wanted for their baby photography I jumped at the chance to help out.

I can't wait to see the first photographs done with the props.

So here is what I have made so far, no babies with my photography just the items.

Flower hat.

An aviator hat.

Long tailed elf hat.

And then this one, a newborn baby Hammock, I didn't have a baby to put inside it but I did have a beautiful Steiff Bear. Hammock was made with a Super Chunky Chanille yarn.
