Platinum Jubilee hoop embroidery

Platinum Jubilee hoop embroidery

Posted on June 15, 2022 by jenny

Platinum Jubilee hoop embroidery from my Cotton Clara Hoop Club Box 21. The subscription box contained two hoops projects, an embroidery sampler featuring hearts, and the Platinum Jubilee hoop embroidery. I really liked the Platinum Jubilee hoop. I was pretty restrained with the amount of money I spent on Jubilee memorabilia and ended up with…

I love making handmade gifts. If you enjoy baking or crafting then it seems the natural step to make something using those skills. When we recently visited friends my daughter whipped up a batch of dog biscuits to take, and I love that she is so thoughtful and resourceful. Handmade gifts are fun to make…

Posted on June 4, 2022June 4, 2022 by jenny

I’m not quite sure how long I’ve had this cute Little London bunting set but it seemed the perfect make to celebrate the Platinum Jubilee. Our street is taking part in The Big Jubilee Lunch as part of the official celebrations for HM The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee weekend – 2-5 June 2022 – and The…

How to make an easy dog bandana

Posted on May 26, 2022 by jenny

Since our dog came along he has turned our lives upside down – in a good way. We all love him and enjoy making games for him, baking homemade treats, and even dressing him up. He loves wearing a bandana and I thought it was about time I made one for him rather than buying…

Bridgerton crafts to celebrate the return of the Ton

Posted on May 19, 2022May 22, 2022 by jenny

I love a period drama and binge watched the latest season of Bridgerton. I’m glad I read the books first because the series was very different from the book. It was still enjoyable and I binge watched it in a few days. I’m looking forward to season 3 sometime in 2023, especially as they are…

Love Embroidery pennant stitch kit

Posted on April 27, 2022 by jenny

Recently I’ve felt like I’ve lost my crafting mojo. The Easter holidays were busy and we had some lovely days out but the kids stayed up late which left no time for crafting. I have a few projects on the go but none were really grabbing my attention. So I was happy when the May…

How to make Liberty Easter Eggs

Posted on April 8, 2022April 19, 2022 by jenny

I love crafting with Liberty fabrics. I have a lovely collection for crafting with and the patterns and colours always seem to compliment each other. I picked up some mache eggs from Hobbycraft and thought they would be fun to decorate with this Easter. Our Easter decorations are usually quite simple. Each year I try…

Bridgerton inspired embroidery hoop

Bridgerton inspired embroidery hoop

Posted on March 30, 2022March 31, 2022 by jenny

I love all things Bridgerton. I admit that the first episode of Season 1 was a slow burner for me, but I quickly fell in love with the characters, costumes and sets. Since Season 1 finished I read all the Bridgerton novels by Julia Quinn and I’m excited to see what happens in Season 2….
