A Monthly Make - 2011 - June

I'm really busy with commission orders at the moment, which is lovely .... but sometimes I like to just make something without a reason.  And this book is one of those makes, a lovely, no reason, super girly bag book:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Please don't forget to have a look at the monthly makes on the Felt Fairy's flickr site - go on, feast your eyes on some crafty loveliness!

A Monthly Make - 2011 - May

I've been busy making things to make my "practical" house less, well, practical .... and here they are:

Crochet cushions ... well one to be precise, but there is another on the way!  I love this cushion and it was so quick to make!  You can't see it very well in the photo, but it's lined with bright pink cotton so that is matches better with my stripey cushions.

And a lovely, little, buttony curtain for my downstairs toilet ..... nothing too "practical" in this photo eh?  This curtain started off as a shower curtain, I loved the almost dandelion patterns on it ..... and the bargain price of £2.00 from a charity shop!

Please don't forget to have a look at  the Flickr group and see what everyone else is up to this month!

A Monthly Make - 2011 - April

I really am enjoying the Monthly Makes - not just the making but the looking at what everyone else is making too!  

I've developed a bit of a "thing" for the circus fonts that are everywhere and so I decided to make a picture for my hallway using one of them.

I started off by printing the letter G (for my surname) as large as I could on A4 paper:

 Then I used tracing paper to square it off to make a cross stitch pattern:

Then I did a bit of cross stitch:

And ended up with this:

I just need to get it mounted and framed ... I'm thinking a white mount and a white frame ... rather swish, no?

Anyway, time to upload to the April Album - why not go and have a look at what everyone else has made?

A Monthly Make - 2011 - March

Well, here is Stanley ... made for the Felt Fairy's 2011 Monthly Make ...

and, just to show you how very realistic he is, I took a photo of him next to Otis ...

There's loads of other great makes, including other Stanleys, over at the March Flickr Group

A Monthly Make - 2011 - February

well, so far so good ... but then it only the second month of the Felt Fairy's Monthly Make!

Here is my February Monthly Make ...

A board book for my neighbour, to celebrate the Christening of Elsbeth.

I've added these to the flickr group for our February makes - go over and have a look, there are some lovely things on there!
