Free Colouring Floral Frame to Download

I've just started a new hobbie and it's drawing these colouring sheets. Now I'm not a doodler but I like to occasionally draw. Last year I saw my niece doodling these henna-style florals and I thought I'd have a go.

So I've been doodling away. And this is how I made this floral frame that you see.

Turn Your Broken China Into Jewellery

I have a lot of antique English fine bone china that I've collected over the years. Most of them are in excellent condition but sometimes I do come across old, worn out pieces or broken pieces. 

Accidents do happen. Take for example my antique Foley Wileman set below. When I heard the ching of broken china my heart nearly stopped. My husband accidentally dropped something on it. This set was from the early 19th century.

A Twinkly Star Lap Quilt

This lap quilt has been twelve years in the making.

I started this quilt 12 years ago when my eldest was a toddler. I thought that I could continue with my sewing hobbies after having a baby but boy was I wrong.

I had sewn the patchwork stars and border pieces and had started to hand sew clear beads and sequence onto the them. Sewing with a toddler was difficult because he was always attached to me and if I sewed he would crawl around and fiddle with the foot pedal. Dangerous!

Easy Star Card to Make

This card is so easy and versatile. You can give this card to congratulate someone, to give a 'star' award to your child, as a thank you, a farewell card, or even an Eid card to someone you know.

Pattern for a Crochet Camouflage Bottle Holder

As you might or might not know, one of my son is into survival gear so I thought I’d make him a bottle holder in a camouflage pattern. For what is survival without water?

It is pretty hard to crochet a camouflage pattern as crochet is done in rows. So basically to make it camouflage it’s done using camouflage colours of greens and brown. I looked into my stash of yarn and came up with these three colours. It would have been better if had a brown in there but I worked with what I had.
