I've been busy lately creating some lovelies. They are all for me, which is quite unusual, because I normally only ever make for other people.
Having discovered the wonderful Mollie Makes magazine (see the blog
here ), I've been busy.
The first thing I have made was the freebie on the latest edition:
A gorgeous little Matryoshka keyring. She has pride of place on my back door key (that is permanently in the back door) so I can look at her every day.
I have also been toiling over this little lovely for the last day. The pattern was simple but because she is so tiny, it was very fiddly. I was determined to make myself one though, as they are just too cute:
Her name is Chatelaine and she will now be my little crafting mascot. I made her from an old cot sheet and some left over felt. No expense has been spared though, as her eyes and nose are semi-precious beads and this evening I intend to knit her a cardigan using pure cotton yarn. After a bit of a sort out in my dining room, and having a designated crafting area (as my materials are now taking over the entire house!), she will have pride of place, watching over me whilst I work. I adore her!
I also made these hearts the other night whilst watching the tv:
They will be used in my kitchen. I will probably string them together before tying them to a cupboard handle. There is something simply stunning about white thread on red felt.
