Monthly Make

''If you fancy committing to make at least one item every month then  this group is for you!!  Hopefully making a pledge will give us all a much needed kick up the butt and might even spur us into a frenzy of mad making!''

...in theory making SOMETHING every month shouldn't be THAT hard should it...


We'll see how I get on this year - it's organised by THE FELT FAIRY
you can  JOIN IN  at any stage 
each month there'll be a different Flickr group to add your MAKE to ... 

happy making!

desperately searching leather boots....

Hello I am looking and have been for over a year for some Boots...they look a little like this but HAVE to, have to, HAVE TO be Leather....

have YOU seen any?

daffodils...

Remember the monthly challenge I joined in with on Folksy...and the ensuing twitter debate on numbers of petals a daff may or may not have...

Well here's my entry - it's got 6 petals. 


Some other Daffodil themed items from folksy-

true so true...

off with her head...

Do you think Philip took her a milky brew in bed this morning?

Or at least offered to take the corgis round the block-

 it's right slippy out.

Dala Horse for #Pinaddicts Challenge

First Monday of the Month so time to reveal to you my 


#Pinaddicts make for January...

Whilst the idea of the challenge was probably to actually 
make some of those tutorials that you've pinned...

I've chosen an object from my 'Need It' pin boards...

 I chose to make a Dala Horse because 

(shh! Secretly) I have become a tad obsessed... 

...I keep bidding on ebay 

& scouring shops but as yet haven't been successful.... 

and I'd like one to call my own.... 

....so reached for the felt

he's all hand cut and hand stitched

 I did have fun making it and now 
I've got my very own Dala Horse!

Pinterest is VERY addictive but a fab wealth of 
'resource idea inspiration' 
and I think a MUST for any creative -
 My boards are HERE
