Sewing stuff

I made this cushion for my sister as a belated Christmas present. It was going to be 7 rows of felt petals but my sewing machine was struggling to get in over the layers and I was feeling lazy, so I stuck with 3 and a blob in the middle. It’s not the neatest thing [...]

Felt flower hairslide tutorial video

Due to my latest obsession with the Big Shot, I have done a video for Popular Crafts which makes cute little felt hairslides. Here it is!

Flower Crazy…

After working at the Stitch and Creative Crafts show this weekend, I am now the owner of our demonstration model of the Sizzix Big Shot! I love playing with all of the textures and shapes it can cut and have ordered a crease mat and some box cutting dies, as well as other “useful” shapes [...]

Wow!

A quick post to share this with you, how great is this? I might get one and pretend my phone is a little more impressive than it really is… By Louise Campbell on http://www.myehive.com

Moss cabochon update!

I had a play with the moss cabs that I made, and could turn them into little biorb-esque pieces if I drilled close to the edge. The 1.5mm drill bit worked a dream, so this is what I came up with! Very pleased with the earrings, not sure about the bracelet, I think it needs [...]

Spotlight on… Tizzalicious

This time I’d like to show you some felt heart necklaces from the founder of the Crafting in Color (http://craftingincolor.ning.com) team that I have just joined! I don’t think I’ve ever seenĀ felted pendantsĀ before so thought they were unusual enough to share! Her shops are at www.tizzalicious.com and http://tizzalicious.etsy.com and they are priced at around $13.50. [...]

Ooh pretty!

Coming from Hull originally, I can solidly say that I did not expect to find any seller on Etsy from there, or at the most, anyone with talent. I moved as it seemed to me to be a dead end town with little opportunity. Cherrypips http://cherrypips.etsy.com has proved me very wrong though, she has a [...]
