12 Months of Pinterest

 

OMG I can't believe we have completed a whole year of pinterest makes!

 

Our new years resolution for 2015 was to make one thing from pinterest each month and blog about it.

it could be anything at all. This only feels like a couple of months ago but no, its December all ready.

 

So here is my last pin of the year....

 

 

Grumpy looking old woman!

 

what do you think? I'm so pleased with this cowl because i'm not a knitter so it was a real challenge. I really don't like a circular needle LOL its the first time ive ever seen one never mind used one!

spot the mistake.

 

Yep I went wrong. I don't know how to pick up stitches if I drop them or have to undo some so when I go wrong I have to undo the whole lot and start all over again. hmmm I did this three times.

you can see my mistake in the photo but I didn't notice it till I was a good few rows past it and I didn't have the will to  start again so ive left the mistake. lets call it character!

 

 

second one is work in progress.

 

I was so pleased with it that I popped out and bought a ball of brown wool to make another one.

I'm going to add these to a family members Christmas present. I hope they like them as much as I do.

 

I'm going to make myself one but can't decide what colour combo to choose.

What colours do you like together? I'd love it if you could leave a comment telling me what colours to use next.

 

Please pop over to Margaret's blog to see what she has made for December and also Carollyn's blog. these too ladies have soooo much more talent than me and I'm sure you will love their December projects.

 

We are going to start this all over again with a pin each month so if you would like to join us just drop me a line. It can be anything you want.... knitting, crochet, gardening, cards, papercrafts, glass painting, cooking..... even a housework cleaning tip. (yeah right) I don't think you will find any of those on my blog LOL

 

thanks for stopping by and thank you for any comments you might like to leave. I'd love to hear from you, even if its just saying hello so I know you stopped for a visit.

 

HAPPY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

All Wrapped Up!

 

Oh boy I'm so late this week with my DT card for Creative Inspirations....

 

Sorry guys!

 

I had it ready of course, I was just late blogging my end but I'm here now....

 

 

I've used sugar Nellie's Raven stamp from Funky Kits.

 

she is All Wrapped Up in her winter coat, hat and scarf to keep the cold out!

 

I love this stamp.

 

I coloured her with copic markers and added some snow writer.

the tree's are Impression Obsession die cuts with the snow add to the branches. I was so pleased with how they turned out.

 

I really liked the image so decided to keep the card plain and simple.

 

Our theme this week is All Wrapped Up and I'm looking forward to seeing how you interpret that.

will it be pressies wrapped up?

November Pinterest Project

hi crafty friends,

 

Phew I just about made it here on time.

 

today is the day for us to show our November Pinterest project and I've ben running late on everything just lately but here it is......

 

 

I made this long stem crochet rose.

 

 

its not perfect but I'm still pleased with it.

 

it needs a couple more leaves but I wanted to get it posted so the next one with have more.

i'm not sure if I will manage a dozen roses as I get bored with the same pattern but I think 6 would look nice together.

thank you for visiting me today and I hope you like my rose.

I can't believe we are now about to start December. Margaret, we almost completed our new year's resolution for 2015 and we were lucky enough to have Carollyn join us.

thank you to both of you for keeping me going.

Dreaming of a White Christmas

 

wow we are only one month away from Christmas today.

 

so its not surprising I have a Christmas card to show you today.

 

Our theme at creative inspirations is white on white

 

 

first, I apologise for my poor photography skills. this dark weather isn't my favorite time of year.

I really need to make myself a light box.

 

my card looks nicer in real life I promise!

Ive used tim holtz brick embossing folder and a snowflake folder.

the door is a joy crafts die called home sweet home.

the wreath is made with MS branch punch.

the sentiment is crafters companion.

 

I also added a few gems.

 

I hope you will join us this week. I will visit as many blogs as I can to see your white cards.

creative inspirations challenge.

creative inspirations challenge blog

 

Its time for another challenge and we have a great prize up for grabs

 

find out what it is here

 

 

our theme is nice and easy this week as we would like to see your Christmas projects.

 

I have got to send a few cards to family abroad so I like to keep those ones flat for their long journey.

 

I had to add this detail photo because it amuses me how it plays tricks with my eyes...

it really looks like I've used the negative space here..... or is it just me?

Its actually the diecut ive used which shows clearing in the picture below.

 

I've used an apple blossom music note die from www.craftstash.co.uk

I love this die, it can be used for so many different occasions, I even used it with the sentiment 'just a note' get it? note.... music note?

LOL well I liked it!

 

I hope a few of you will come and join us this week and I always look forward to visiting your blogs and leaving comments.
