All stitched up

I love flowers and over the years have enjoyed experimenting with sewing onto paper– so decided to make my own flowery letter headed paper, embellished with my own freestyle embroidery technique.
I got the pattern from the lovely Martha Stewart – find the template here if you fancy having a go yourself!

Mini matchbox bunting

A matchbox of mini bunting I made from tissue paper, washi tape and sparkly stones for my little niece who needed cheering up. I packaged it with lots of other tiny treats and popped it in the post as a surprise.

The British Biscuit Festival

 

We had a great time creating lots of biscuit-inspired craft kits to share at The British Biscuit Festival at The Brunswick last weekend. We had a lovely space where lots of people got crafty with us, creating many a biscuit inspired creation. More pictures to follow but for now a cup of tea and an edible biscuit or few are called for ...

The biscuit festival

After long time no see, we’ve back on the road again at the weekend and will be taking ‘Crafternoon’ to The British Biscuit Festival, at the Brunswick Bloomsbury WC1, on Saturday 9^th June.

We’ve chatted and crafted over many a biscuit, so we’re very excited to be invited along with our bag of tricks. We’ll be there from 12-6pm and we’ve got plenty of biccy-themed craft kits up our sleeve, so if you’re nearby come along and say hello!

Candy Coloured Stripes

I’ve been on the hunt for some candy coloured stripey sheets for quite some time. Word eventually reached my grandma’s neighbour (who was just about to throw said sheets in the bin). Result, I’ve landed myself the perfect lemon yellow, mint green, candy floss pink and cool blue combo and decided for their first outing that they’d make a nice looking bow.

Thank you grandma’s neighbour.

Bags of fun

After a recent Topshop purchase, I couldn't resist turning their lovely big black and white printed bag into my own smaller, sweet-shop-style creations. The perfect goodie bags for housing a few happy crafting essentials. If you like the sound of a bit of cutting + sticking yourself and making something pretty from virtually nothing, why not come along to our next craft event?

Lets have fun making a mess together!

Your hair looks good today

Matchbox challenge day 17: the sweet one. I prettied up a matchbox with floral paper, an old map, washi tape and some dotty birthday paper. The box contains a collection of stickers I typed out that say nice things, including "I like your handwriting", "Can I hold your hand?" and "I like your socks".

What's the sweetest thing you've ever told someone or they've told you?
