Finished The Jewelery Roll!




Made a jewellery roll for my sister in law, for Christmas. Very happy with it, so posting up some photos to blog!




































































Jewellery anyone?

Following the instructions from 'FreeNeedle' website, going to give this one a go - Button collar or bib necklace - insparation from Lupins crafty 'Bugs & Fishes' blog!

I like the black felt background, but to be honest, I like the idea of some cream/brown felt, and natural earthy tones, as opposed to bright shades...

Watch this space!

Sock Cakes!


I'm going to use a couple of pairs of socks I got for the girls from charity shop (50p a pair, had been hand crochet by one of the volunteers, out of oddments of wool) and make these, see what they look like. If they turn out well, will be seeing if any of the lovely GP forum ladies will knit a couple of pairs of socks for the girls birthdays, in March and August... :D

My Mummy Makes'Stuff'

Have been busy....

Making soap for schools Christmas Fayre, and for presents for family this Christmas... Am also making other Christmas presents, for family - our third completely handmade, no buy Christmas!


The little soaps are my faves, and have also made extras for younger family members, and have made little guest bars for older relatives....
Very pleased in paticular with my tea-tree shampoo bar, looks very good, as do the cleansing bars (oat and goats milk)
