Time for a 2day Summer Workshop Revamp -My Blue Heaven

My hubby John has just managed to revamp the outside of my workshop Ellas Retreat it is now a real feature in the garden.  He worked very hard, it was like painting the Forth Bridge in a 2 day good weather window that we may have to call SUMMER!  I made an effort to jazz up the inside as well with some bunting using up some of my stash  Hope you like the results.

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.
