Felting...

After finding some of my old college work I decided to get Crafty again with old techniques, I found some lovely felt pieces which inspired me to run a craft class at the school I work in....

 

The theme of the project was creative writing, Writing their own storys in 'Charlie and Lola' style, making the books, illustrating, and making their own covers. The children loved the creative aspect, It was a great way to develop their creativity and literacy skills.

 

These are some of the lovely felt pictures which I found on pinterest...

Cupcakes..

We had a productive evening in the peddle household yesterday

Our kitchen was full of cake making goodies, laughing and of course lots of cooking mess :P

It was all in the name for fundraising, with a theme of pink we made vanilla cupcakes with pink butter cream icing.

we used flowers, pink buttons and lots of hundreds and thousands to decorate..

Here are a few snaps of the finished products, and if i do say so myself they look very yummy :)

Love Crochet...

My love of knitting and crochet was first inspired by my wonderful nan and mum who made beautiful handmade gifts for family and friends, this is one of my mums handmade crochet blankets which she kindly donated to my new home...

It is made as individual squares and then all linked together - I love the colours....

 ....I thought it was about time I learnt how to make one of my own - this is my first square, so will be more to come :)

Easter Treats...

Taking inspiration from Spring and Easter I've made some handmade treats, including Hand illustrated cards, Spring knitted Bunting and crochet decorations....

Hand illustrated Easter egg card, using quality card and watercolour pencils to decorate. 

Crochet chick, sweet Easter decoration for the home :)

Each triangle of the bunting is handmade and double layered, using knitted, cotton and linen fabrics.

The knitted fabric I have knitted by machine, and feel it adds  an extra unique element.
