I have a few more cross stitch patterns to start but as I have been busy lately I have to get around to them yet. So the projects I have completed so far were easy enough to do as they were projects which I received as gifts. I hope to buy a small/mini sewing machine after Christmas in the sales. Then I want to make some of my own crafts from old material. I have lots of ideas from all your blogs. I have also come across some wonderful crafts from other websites, magazines and even shops, here are just a few of them. I am sorry as I do not have all the links to these projects but some of them are from Prima and Hobbycraft
Some lovely simple bags for shopping should be simple enough to make!
How cute are these teddy bears, I want one! A bit more difficult perhaps.
A more advanced pretty cushion, I might leave this to the more expert crafters. I can just see it on my bed
Now these look pretty simple & they can be filled with lavendar too as Crafty Mermaid did with her christmas presents. Oh a Mermaids Purse will like the blue and white one with Sweet Pea on the front :)
Now this wee owl I would really like to start on.Oout window shopping recently I saw it in Monsoon Accessorize & thought it looked quite simple to make :) Isn't it sweet!
Paper Dove from Hobbycraft all we need is white paper & feathers, even the kids can do it! So I might start here :)
These are just a few of the hundreds of ideas I have come across, I want to make one of everything I see but firstly I will have to get a sewing machine and nice material (cheap of course). But for now I will make the Dove with Feathers and try my Christmas Garland. If you have any nice simple projects I'd love to check them out. I'm sure some of you have made all these before, others may get some inspiration from these projects and websites, but whatever you do enjoy yourself making your crafts :)
Glad you've found so much inspiration with everbody....I know it's helped me. I wish you lived closer as I would love to teach you to crochet and sew again.
ReplyDeleteI just lose myself when I'm crafting.....sometimes for too long!

Good luck with the sewing machine. Threading can be daunting at first so you might want to nab someone to show you or look it up on youtube. :) You'll do great!
ReplyDeleteHello from Canada,
ReplyDeleteYou're right, there are all kinds of crafts one could be doing! I love those teddy bears too; they're adorable! One thing I wish I could do is crochet! I would have a doilie hanging in every window pane! They are so pretty and remind me of snowflakes.
Thank you so much for stopping by today. I hope you will visit again soon and in the meantime, have a beautiful Christmas with your family and friends.
Christmas blessings,
Sandi
