Crochet

I thought I would update you with my crochet.  Back in August 2010 I bought some Rowan wool from Liberty in London : -http://allotmentheavencraftsandrecipes.blogspot.com/2010/08/ive-been-to-libertys.html

Well I haven't been doing very much crocheting recently so the squares are coming along very slowly. I have made these so far. Luckily I am only making a cushion cover, so I don't need to do many more to finish it.

The colours don't look great in these photo's as the light is so bad during the day. I should have taken them outside for a true colour.

I have also been working on some new cards. Just simple little cards with  pretty tiny floral background paper, or stamped dotty backgrounds, torn mulberry paper heart, pretty Indian ribbon on green mulberry paper, and hand painted watercolour beach huts, with a little bunting. I never tire of card making and always seem to be on a roll for ideas late at night (unfortunately !) this seems to be my most creative time.

New Card Designs

I Just thought I would share some cards that I have made today. It was raining so I couldn't get to the allotment to plant the broad beans, so I made cards instead. All for sale if anyone is interested please e-mail me for prices.

The cards are small square size 5" x 5" good quality card with matching envelopes. All cards are blank for your own message, so suitable for any occasion, and come in a cellophane pocket.

The card above has an Indian wooden stamp flower border, and Indian paper flowers made from recycled cotton rags, with little jewels in the centres. I designed this one today for a friend who has moved house. (other colour flowers available)

'Easter Bunnies' I designed these for my grandchildren. They have quality mulberry paper, then little thin wooden rabbits on top, and a small sparkly heart above.

' Old Friends' I love these and have used this stamp for ages, so this one isn't really a new design, other than after stamping and water colouring I have added a three dimensional Crystal Lacquer to raise the jug and the poppies. These cards are smaller and measure 4" x 3" with hand made coloured envelopes. But the same design can be made on bigger cards.

Handmade envelopes made from quality paper.


And some old favourite cards that I continuously make as I love them. Such cute little mice.
