I’ve been making more time for grown up crafting and I love to make the kits and hopefully try something new. I skipped last month’s cover gift (issue 79) as it was a set of buttons and a booklet of ideas. I didn’t find them particularly inspiring and couldn’t come up with a way of using them so they’ve been added to my button stash. Issue 80 contained a…

    Stitching an Easter bunny

    March 17, 2016 - By

Then I just kept looking at all the pieces and didn’t know where to start. I…
