Craft round up

Hi,

I am just quickly doing a catch up of the crafts I have completed since my last blog. I am going to bed after, and I have had a niggle in the back of my head to record it all in my blog space!!

So here it all is. Some old skills and has always some new ones too.


Patchwork crazy 





Ceramics




This lil piggy, money banks.


Winter tile/coaster, custom order.
I painted this and I am quite pleased with it, I am no means an artist!!


Four seasons hand painted tiles/coasters.



Wedding signature platter sample.





Hand painted birthday present trinket box. 


Hand painted celebration plate samples.


Hand painted caravan tile. 
This is one of the favourite ceramics I've painted recently.

Sewing bags






My new bag design. Think I may keep this for myself. Love it!!


Soap Making



I haven't done this for about a year. I didn't get on with it first time round. But, I never give up, I just set it aside and just unconsciously work on it in my mind. 

Here is the results. Lovely pink and white layers. It is so appealing on the eye and lovely to use, but the smell, oh boy the smell. I used rose blend essential oil, which is lush, but I also used surgical spirits to help the layers adhere and get rid of bubbles. The smell is like germolene, hospital smell. The resources say this will disappear. I hope so, or this beautiful soap is wasted. Fingers crossed. 

Well that is what I have been up to. I will be popping over to see all of you I follow sometime this week. 

I will leave you with crafting with the kids yesterday. I had them all to myself whilst the other half went golfing!!! Nice for some!


Loom bands (before they went into the vacuum cleaner!!) and our home made maker!!


Homemade chocolate lollies.



Making lemon drizzle. 


Drawing on t-shirts.


Busy, busy busy. 

All pictures and not much natter. 

Enjoy your week.
