DIY Rainbow Headband

Hello!
A couple of weeks ago we had a heat wave, I was feeling all summery, sitting in the garden surrounded by daisies, I made a little daisy chain crown and got inspired for some summer outdoor crafting. I gathered up my a rainbow array of felts, a bit of elastic (enough to fit round my head) and made myself a rainbow headband. With festival season getting underway this would be perfect for keeping unwashed festival hair looking sweet!

I sewed the leaves on very slowly using my sewing machine, slightly overlapping each one, then I joined the two ends of the elastic by sewing them together. Easy peasy lemon squeezy!

Here's a photo of me keeping my unwashed festival hair under wraps, just a young pup, Glasto 2000

This weekend I'm having a break from the market, getting crafty in the bedroom, enjoying the comfort of a new bike seat, tidying messed up rugs......

Hope you're all having a lovely weekend! xx

Happy Feet

Hello!
I make myself a pair of cat shoes, cue the snow and ice.....roll on spring time so I can wear these new shoes out and about. I made cat shoes for my friend Deborah for Christmas and was going to make myself a pair in the likeness of Mary, but thought the white might get a bit dirty.

Take one pair of pumps, cut out some felt cat accoutrements, add a dash of glue

 It's been a good week....
I'm feeling a bit better and I'm back to work
We booked a break in Amsterdam, can't wait! Have any of you been before?

Sew Colourful!

Hello!
Welcome to new followers! Thanks for following my blog!
Is it snowing in your part of the world? I've battened down the hatches today! The snow has arrived here in Belfast, MEH!

I'm all delighted that Hey! Home Wrecker Facebook winner Ooh Betty liked her presents in the post! Check out Ooh Betty's Etsy shop here

Something I've been working on to brighten up a dull day. A very colourful cushion creation, For me it's therapeutic cutting out all the pieces then I love sewing them all back together and seeing the effect that it creates. I'm looking forward to making some new cushions this way but using different colour ways. I've added this cushion to my Etsy shop and hopefully in the coming weeks I'm going to get my crafting mojo on and add some more new exciting things.

Miss Jones, she's a great girl but not very reliable

YO!

Happy Friday everyone!

Have a great weekend
