Creative Time

Ever since I visited Creative Carmalina's blog, I have rekindled my love of crochet

I cut a square of cotton fabric scrap and crocheted a little border around the edge.

It's not perfect, but hey, I'm having fun, don't you just love to fiddle with bits and pieces,

not knowing how, or what you are actually making. Just making it up as you go along.

                                 Don't you just love to spend some time just playing?

  This is what I have been doing just recently, playing in my sewing room. I love the time I can play quietly in my very own little space


I purchased this sweet little doily at Vinnies for $3, it came with the Semco pattern and stamped with the design.  I crocheted around the edge through the pre existing holes.

 Then embroidered over the stamped design.Not complicated embroidery,just simple stitches a child can do.  Sometimes it's nice not to have to think too hard, just enjoy the simple stuff.

 Our granddaughters like a bit of sparkle , so I painted and decorated this letter K to add to one of their Christmas stocking.  I just glued on some ribbon and a few heart shaped stick on diamente's.
I will be making more of these in their initials.

                                        Remember the frame I made from my lace doily stash

Well I thought the frame needed a little bling, so I managed to find these little stick on

diamente's at Cheap as Chips for $3 a sheet,

 I think they add that little bit of sparkle that I love.

The finished little doilies.

What have you been making in your very own space lately?

Time for a nice cup of tea, why don't you join me. xx
