1st successful crochet flower with petals

Thanks to attic24.typepad.com I have mastered the flower yay!

The sewing machine is warming up!

About 8 months ago when I really started to throw myself into this crafty stuff I bought a sewing machine, today was the first time I have managed to use it successfully, (I did take it back to tell them it was broken within a few weeks of buying it but I was threading it wrong!!)
So the bag plans are getting nearer and I do know that my machine works, all I need to do now is to start the bags and learn how to line them.  I will posts my stages on here as I go through and pics of course.
Stage 1 - mastering the machine is complete!

Friday Feeling

Yay, it is the weekend and what a surreal day!  I ended up teaching as Vicky Pollard from Little Britain as there was not time to change after the Comic relief staff concert!  It took a couple of hours to shake the make-up and accent and I am back to my creative self!!
Today saw the arrival of a huge order of "fuzzy"wool and lining material for my new clutch bag range idea, watch this space ...... I can't wait to put my idea into reality!
Just had a brain wave for labels (strawberry ones!) too - ooohhh yes this is crafty and I love it!

Inspired..................

Just watching Chris Moyles' effort for a world record radio show marathon!  Anyone fancy a knit-a-thon for charity?????

The "evening" project this week

Working as a teacher during the day and being completely worn out, I still like to work on something in the evening to keep my creativity ticking, oh and to relax.  I found a great pattern on www.ravelry.com for a knitted leaf necklace, what do you think so far? A lovely colour yarn I think!!

Planning my weekend's creativity

I love being creative and love to make jewellery with wire or beads, knit and now crochet to make unusual things. I also love polymer clay charms but I love so much and wonder what to dedicate my Saturday to!  Working in the week I would like to think of the lovely things I can make on the weekend, hmmmmm..............??
