Title says it all really.
Tell me about the lovely things you have been making,any craft. Pictures/Ravelry links would be great.
I like to crochet but I've found myself in a bit of a rut and want to be inspired and find some motivation to make something, even if its a totally different craft.

Share away.

That is so cute!

I was going to start a blog but decided it was too much hard work, so I've created a flickr account so there are a few pics of things I've made recently on there if anyone wants a look. Sorry but I dont know how to do the proper linky things.

dizzy I love that VW campervan softie! So cute!

Recently, I have helped DS make a felt jacket for his bear, was very fun!

Also painted anothe t-shirt for DS, here

Cut out 725 3.5" squares for the quilt I want to make.

Made a lined boxy pouch using this fabulous tutorial from Projects by Jane.

And finally, I made some shorts, which I am a bit disappointed in really, but I guess they are just shorts, I didn't want anything fancy.

Dizzy I love all your bright colourful rainbow colours in the tihngs you make! You are an inspiration.

Hello all! I managed to finish off my laundry bag for the tent before going camping - made out of an old coffee sack. No pics yet but it's hardly an inspiring object anyway!

Apart from that I haven't made anything this week, as we're staying at my parents'. However, I have managed to score some rather fabulous old clothing patterns from my mum's collection, sitting unused in a box, and some fabric similarly going to waste. Including - I couldn't believe it - metres of Liberty cotton she has not used in the years since she was GIVEN it! And some rather cool blue tweed-type stuff from the same fairy godmother, a Polish friend of my grandma's who used to just show up and give my mum fabric. What I wouldn't give to have someone like that! At least I rescued it all, along with a whole load of little funky bits. So, I hope to be productively making once we get home!

omdb I saw all those pieces cut out for your quilt - impressive! Are you very daunted by the scale of it all? I don't dare even think about that sort of thing...

Hi everyone, it's been a while but I've been lurking and enjoying everyone's creations. I've finally finished this for my niece's wedding, gulp, tomorrow. No pressure. Wink

Euromum that skirt is gorgeous, absolutely stunning colours too. Has anyone claimed it yet? I'm a size 8. I'll even send you pics of me in it, and I hate having my photo taken Smile.

Only just started browsing this forum as I'm looking to start doing some crafty things to while away the winter evenings. There are some great ideas on here and all your photos are fab - never knew there was so much talent on MN!

Hello All

I made a 'birthscope' painting for a friends babys christening recently and have had some positive feedback from it, so have done quite a few for other friends too.
Take a look and let me know what you think.....each is hand drawn and watercolour painted, picturing babys birthsign, time of birth, season of birth, weight and birthstone.

I would really appreciate some feedback, if you think they are a viable idea and that it's not just a case of my friends being kind lol.

Many Thanks xx click on the link or seach for me 'By Matilda and Charlie' on Facebook.

@euromum - just read your blog - I adore your 'makes' and your little L reminds me so much of my daughter who was a big 12 last Sunday. Beautiful. xx
