A bit of wisdom this Feel Good Friday :)

Fantastic felt flowers

Yesterday I had lots of crafty fun with little mister Pj, lots of glue was used; most of it to apparently cover my jeans!

My favourites that we made were definitely the flowers using felt shapes I had cute out and ice lolly sticks.  The little fella really enjoyed making them to and took them home later to give to his mum as an early Easter present.

So incase your wanting to do a quick arty project with your kids this bank holiday weekend I have put together a picture tutorial as shown below. :)

Firstly drawn and cut out a variety of shapes in roughly 3 different sizes as you will be layering them.

Find some brightly coloured felt or you could even use cardboard from an old cereal box, tissue paper or scraps of fabric (using a background of cardboard on the first, biggest layer to keep it stiff). Get lolly sticks (a great excuse to have a icy pre-craft time treat!) or again cardboard and colour the stems in bright colours. Also find some sequins, buttons or other small adornments (I used foam shapes) to decorate the from of your flowers.

After you have cut out your shapes layer them on to the lolly stick using PVA glue and Hey Presto! A quick cheerful flower :)

You don't just have to make flowers either, how about balloons and stick the onto the front of a birthday card or cut out some space themed shapes, I could definately see the makings of a bright, speedy space rocket!

Here's to Master Barry and his puppy outfit :)

Over the last few months I've been busy crocheting some outfits and accessories for my pregnant cousin in Abu Dhabi, I haven't wanted to put up any photos on here in case certain family members discovered the surprises.  Luckily all my gifts arrived safely on April 1st, which happened to be the same day the gorgeous William (Liam) Barry was born!  After some photographic proof was given determining little L.B's arrival was not an April Fools everyone is completely in love with the newest member of our family, especially my brother who will now be known as 'The Godfather'!

Now he's had time to settle in all, he's proving to be quite the poser as seen below!

Such a gorgeous boy and yesterday I got a lovely suprise of the first picture of L.B in one of his outfits I crocheted a little doggy hat.  I ordered the pattern (one of many) from a shop called 'Beezy Moms Creations' on Etsy. I changed the tail but other than that the pattern was simple and as you can see below the finished product is very cute. :)

96 remembered!

Im honestly not really a big football fan but I will still tell everyone that I'm a Liverpudlian and proud!

Today is an important day in my city's history as it marks the 25th anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster and though we are still awaiting justice everyone in Liverpool, regardless of what sports team they support will be united in remembering the 96 that lost their lives.

Addicted to the crafts :)

Hey hope your all enjoying the start to your weekend.

During my one of my many internet trawls to find new inspirations I came across this website: http://www.agusyornet.com it's a wonderful craft/photography blog run by a Spanish lady named Agus complete with both Spanish and English translations.  From shapes to make with paper clips, painting pasta and coloured glue dots it has some great ideas to try.  Below I've added a few photos of her works. :D

Happy Mothers Day!

I would just like to wish all of the mothers out there a happy Mother's Day, including my own fabulous one (featured in the below picture with me)!

 I surprised her this morning with 'The Knit Kit' from Love Knitting, it's known as the Swiss Army knife of the knitting world, I don't even knit and I want one.

Anyway I hope everyone has nice things planned for today. xXx

Fishes in the water...

Here is a sneak peak of one of the products I'm currently working on for a new little cousin, due next month as cute as little CJ (as I've named him) is I've got a feeling the newest member of my family will be so much more lovely :)
