Spring Fling

Well I might not have put much on my blog lately but it doesn't mean I haven't been busy. My church, St Mary's in Acklam are having a Spring Fling this month and I have been making some stuff to go on the crafty stall. You will probably recognise quite a bit.

Do you like these flannel and soap bunnies. I know it's not Easter but they are sweet.

And these little envelope boxes have a teabag and a biscuit inside. Of course I also made lots of square boxes too. I have a bit of a thing for buying accessories so I used the boxes to hold some costume jewellery I don't wear anymore.

and here are some brooches I have decided to get rid of. I thought I'd give them a vintage look on these little cards I made.

And of course there are all those corsages I made with the Friends of Marton Library last month along with a few of my scarves I don't wear anymore.

And finally more picnic baskets full of sweets. Yum! I hope that some of this lot gets sold to add to the church funds. Now I've got to get cracking making more stuff for another stall, this time to raise money for Thorntree United, Better get busy x 

Thorntree Craft Session

I had a lovely day on Monday at Thorntree Community hub. Lots of lovely ladies came to join me and we made these cute picnic baskets. You can download the template from   http://www.creationsbyar.com/. There are all sorts of interesting projects on this website. I am so grateful to Thorntree United for paying for the sessions and all the materials and to all my regular crafting pals who travelled to Thorntree to join me.

New Marianne design Dies

Just treat myself to some new Marianne design dies. I love them they're so pretty, especially the little birdhouse. I also used Marianne Design paper, which I didn't realise they did. I can see lots of people getting these cards for Birthdays.
