Welcome to my Blog, a Crafting Year

Hello
I taught myself to knit in 2011 I have been posting photos of my knitting creations on facebook but as I am starting to bore my friends I have created this blog to record my progress. Then I thought I might try my hand at other crafts and see how I get along. I will try a different craft every month and you can read about my successes and failures and even laugh at my photos as I try different things like felting, crochet, sewing, papercrafts etc and try and make a few things from the kids favourite book Star Wars crafts, amongst others...lets see how it goes

New Toys

I can't reveal the place setting designs to you before I have shown the bride to be but I can show you my new toys :o)

I got some stamps and inks

Buttons


Fabric flowers

Brightly coloured hemp string

 And I am very excited about my new paper punch...look what it does....


How cute is that!!
Now every spare scrap of paper will be punched with butterflies

And today my friend Sheena showed me how to emboss. She stamped a shape in clear embossing pigment ink onto paper then poured powder on it like you would glitter. After she had poured the powder back into the pot she heated it with a little heating tool like a hair dryer but more heat less air and then the shape was embossed-genius!
I think I'm going to like this month :o)
