Sorry……here’s an update

I am so sorry for not posting sooner but the summer holidays have hit and for me that means I have to make lots of birthday presents for friends and family. So far I have made 2 presents and I have started another 2. The first one I have already given so I can tell you about it but you will have to wait for the other 3. I made this lovely Sesame Street t-shirt for my sister.

I also did an embroidered border around it.

It is almost my birthday and on my birthday I am going to get the arc punch from staples. In the next couple of weeks I will be using it to make myself a planner. In preparation to this I have made a playlist on YouTube with ideas for making your own planner that works for you. Also it has been over a year since I launched this website and I hope that it has helped lots of people with their craft projects etc. and that it will carry on doing so.

A quick and simple craft

This is one of the quick crafts that you can do and are perfect for gifts. They are incredibly easy to mass produce and excellent for a last minute gift.

You can even personalise them with embroidery. You could embroider a child’s name onto a set to give with a book for a great gift that they will treasure.

Doodle Stitching: Fresh And Fun Embroidery For Beginners

After seeing how brilliant Doodle Stitching: the motif collection is I decided I wanted the first one. As it happens I got it from my sister for my birthday. It is as amazing as the motif collection. The first one has more projects to do with the embroidery patterns whereas the second one has more embroidery patterns. 

My favourite project from this book is the felt forest creatures although I love every single project.
