I have been feeling very inspired lately, not sure if it's the Spring time vibe but ideas are emerging at quite a rate..but, alas, I have so very little time to make them real!
But first...i must show you the most lovely little transistor radio I found at a carboot on Saturday. It cost all of 50p and I thought it would make a fab prop on my stall at craft fairs. I was even more happy to find out that it actually works and I now have to it tuned to a fabulous French radio station. ♥ I love it! ♥
and now on to some of my makes since the last post...
I was asked to make a tea cosy by my sons teacher. It is the first one I've made and I'm rather pleased! I think it may the first of many. I must make myself one next!
next..I was asked to make an owl cushion by a friend... meet Miss Hoot!
and I'm making a window panel for another friend..
and a crocodile tail for a little birthday boy! (a last minute pressie!)
and a card for my father in law...
and finally a new little project I'm working on!!
and LOTS of washing fabric while the sun is out
phew...
I am starting to panic a little though because I've booked in for quite a few craft fairs over the Summer and I really need to get making some stock. I just can't stop myself from taking on random orders though!
Well I hope you have had a lovely sunny bank holiday weekend too! Do let me know what you are up to...are you feeling inspired too?
Take care
Love Dotty

ReplyDeleteOne mans rubbish is another mans treasure! ;)
Deleteyou have been busy since your last blog. Re the washing of fabric, I am in 2 minds about washing mine, there seem to be so many people giving conflicting advice, feel like taking the easy way out and not washing it as the pile seems to grow as I add to it.
ReplyDeleteI never used to wash it..and it always feels wrong to do when you've got lovely pressed new fabric but I've had a few shrinking incidents so I've begun working my way through my hoard! :)
DeleteGosh, you are busy!!! Everything looks great - love the tea cosy!

ReplyDeleteaww thank you :)
DeleteFirstly that radio is fantastic!!! 50p, even better!
ReplyDeleteLove the tea cosy too and the owl, best get making that stock!! x
I love a bargain! I was worried that my man would disapprove of yet more clutter..but he actually likes it too! :)
Deletewow you've been busy! super creative juices flowing.
ReplyDeletei love everything about finding that radio, that it works and that you've got it tuned to a french station.
I must find out what the station is called...there's been some amazing music on it! ♥
