a craft weekend...

dont know how i managed it, but i have spent most of yesterday and all of today creating (a mess) at home.  took the car in for them to look at the emissions problem so cant go far until its fixed. did the washing and all the boring jobs and then i was free to play.  sun came out this weekend and ive had the doors and windows open, curtains blowing in the breeze, 6 music on the radio and a fridge full of wine and chocolate.  this is what ive made..

a dvd case (?) or sandwich bag, using my fat squares from the gorgeous knitting shop in hastings. watched a video on youtube and managed to follow the instructions.

a little makeup bag (using fabric i made with scraps ages ago), some tags and a flower brooch with the free calico i got in a magazine today. vic came home with a present for me - a new publication called 'crafty magazine' - its lovely to read and the ideas for the calico were inspirational.

a cushion (envelope style) made with some bits of material we bought in rye a few months ago,in the annie sloan paint shop... used my big shot to cut out the stars, using bondaweb to stick them on! even made my own cushion insert.

i also made this little' nappy sack' bag with a scrap of hannah's cath kidston material, and made a hook to hang it with as i couldnt master the drawstring idea! need some practise.  the antique toys i got at an antique fair and charity shop yesterday...
