I went to see Dancing on Ice : The Tour on Sunday (surprise tickets from the BF) at Wembley Arena which was brilliant, I absolutely loved the show, and the live version was even better! Yesterday was spent finishing off some "odd jobs" and painting at the BFs, but while I was there I also did a bit of crafting, although I can't bring much when I go there, I just brought a few scraps of fabric, some glue and some card, and made these ::
Flag bunting cards.
I got the idea from the lovely Mitmot on the Shabby Chic Cafe and they were great fun and easy to make. I like the fact that they are suitable for male or female birthdays, get well cards, or 'just to say' cards.
I'll add a message on the front depending on what the card is for. While I was there I also made a couple more brooches which are now for sale in my blogshop.
Sadly this week I have got to knuckle down and get some work done for uni so that will probably be the last bit of crafting for a bit, although I'd much rather be making things than doing uni work of course. Then I shall have to start thinking about jobs, what do I want to do with my life....god knows! X
Hi Gem, I hope you get all your work done.
ReplyDeleteThe cards are lovely, might have a go for a few letters I need to write.
Hope you had a good weekend.

Your Brooches and Cards are Gorgeous!! Well Done you! Thank you for your lovely comment on my Blog too!! Andrea x
ReplyDeleteThanks for your lovely comment on my quilt!! Yes that is the one I made myself. It is made of loads of LA, CK, Rosali, and other pink & blue themed cotton fabrics that I like, spaced out with plain white cotton. The border is in Blue Rosali paisley, which was perfect, as it has pinks & blues in it. I love the quilt you made too, just my kind of thing!!
ReplyDeleteI will have to start my son's one soon. No flowers there, of course, just blues, yellows, and white!
Love the new brooches you have made, and love my pink Rosali one from you!
Take care : )

ReplyDeleteI recently made cards like this, but using patterned felt and embroidery floss and as you say they are sooooo useful and effective. I like the way you have outlined yours. Well done xx
