A Pot of Sunshine

On a dark and cloudy day I was making this Pot of Sunshine, cut using my Silhouette Portrait, the template can be found in the Silhouette store it is one of Jamie Moore Cripps designs.

Little Chapel

As this week was all about resting I decided to create some projects with my Silhouette Portrait, I cut out during the day and glued on an evening whilst watching TV.

I started with this cute little Chapel.

Of course I had to use printable acetate and create some stained glass windows.

I used the cosmic shimmer glue to stick it all together as it has a very good grab an it is quick drying too.

I popped in some fairy lights and left the roof unstuck as I thought it would make a pretty Easter gift box.

I’ve a good few projects to show you but thought that this would be a lovely one to start with.

Spring has Flower burst with Couture.

It has took me some time to get this together, little bits here and there when I was feeling well enough but with the help of Hunkydory Adorable Scorable and Glitter Glaze card stock, My Silhoutte Portrait and the Couture Flower Burst die collection I got there in the end.

Even the center flower was made using the Flower Burst die collection.

I figured you might like to know that the flower was made using a couple of the reflection set dies.

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.

Adventures of Ted (crochet)

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

crochet hats and Hammock

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.
Engagement cake 1
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.
Engagement cake 2
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.
