Retro crochet tea cosy request

My sister Sue who owns a holiday cottage in Ironbridge Shropshire asked me if I could make a retro tea cosy for her.  I undertook this task and came up with this but swapped the pom pom finish for the top with some pretty crochet flowers.  Now all her work colleagues want one!!

First attempt at crochet flowers pattern from Heide

Getting back into crochet with the help of a do crafts buddy Heide.  Made 3 cards with the flowers I have crocheted so far.

Box Card 2

This is another box card for a friend to send to her husband for Valentine Day.  I have used a new machine I have bought called a Silhouette Portrait cutting machine which does some fabulous things.  I am just practicing with it at present so watch this space for more.  Hope you like the card I have made and thanks for looking.

This card was made for a friend Olina who owns a sewing shop in my local town.  She has a box of my cards in her shop.  The cards are a little difficult to make and have a lot of components but I have really enjoyed the challenge.

Two New Little Claire Cards

Hello everyone, I have made two cards using Little Claire stamps and designs hope you like them.

Next Inspiration

Went shopping in Next recently and at the till was tempted into buying some christmas wrapping products which were on offer on 3 for 2.  While standing in the queue I had the inspiration for this card and I have had a previous epiphany after receiving two next vouchers which I recycled.  See what you think.  You do not need to go to craft shops for inspiration it can be found anywhere even in the most unexpected of places!  Happy crafting and happy recycling!!
