Crafty Makes

I've been asked by my lovely Sister-in-Law, Julie, for some crafty makes that would be ideal as gifts for Mother's Day. Every fortnight she has the opportunity to hold a craft stall. Like me, she loves to craft and excels in her card making and amazing, yummy cakes.

So, I got busy...

Knitting more dishcloths...




Making dishcloth knitting kits...



Vintage brooches...


Vintage sundae dish candles...



And beautiful soaps paired with a vintage pin dish.



I got all these packed up, and took them over to Julie in time for her next sale.

Till next time...

Deck the Halls...

I bought these vintage sundae dishes, not that long ago, with the view to turning them into hand-poured candles. A project I've fancied doing for a while.


Until I get around to that (hmmm sounds like a lot of my projects!), I thought I would use them as part of my Christmas decorations and put tea lights in them.

They looked really sweet, so I decided to use all four on the mantelpiece and fireplace.







I don’t have much room for many decorations and my Christmas tree is less than two feet tall! But I do like to dress the mantelpiece and fireplace as my main attraction.

I've used a mixture of fake and real greenery, as well as fir cones, large baubles and the sundae dishes. I’m really pleased with the effect and it looks lovely and cosy when the fairy lights are on and the candles are lit.



I’m very much looking forward to Christmas, having some time of work to spend with family and friends.

Hope you all have a lovely Christmas too, and I wish you the very best for a happy New Year.


Till next time…
