My Next Crafty Item

How to do something with a Washing Powder Box!

I have a great idea to share with you all and hopefully I will be updating this in the next few days.  I am just starting it now.  I hope you will be amazed as I think this is one of the best up cycle things you could do!  We use ours EVERYDAY!  its amazing.

Knitting VW cushions

Knitting VW Cushions

Well I have not knitted for many years and I had to try this for a gift and I am really pleased with how they have turned out.  I even managed to take the knitting on holiday with me and knit on my sun-bed oh that seems a long time ago my holiday!

Well I wanted a blue and pink for my stepson and his girlfriend as they have a VW and I just thought its a nice touch for them to have as an accessory in their van.

I think I had better ideas of doing things once I had finished the pattern so if anyone wants any tips just message and I will respond.

You can purchase the pattern on Amazon it was £3.97 the last time I looked and I made sure I purchased some lovely feather cushions which cost me £2.99 each and the zips I just cannot recall the price on those

A few Upcycled items

Well I have the up cycle bug and my plan in 2015 is to give every piece of furniture the up cycling treatment.  These are a few things that I have been doing this year so far.  My next project I will post in the next few days as I have a brilliant idea that I will share with you.  Using something that we purchase weekly and turn it into such a practical item.

Hello Everyone this blog post is a great way to keep children occupied FREE!

Hi all and welcome to my super arts and crafts blog.  I just love crafts and up cycling and have done some great items in the last few months.  I find that it really feeds the soul.  Well mine anyway.  I hope you will find some of my items inspiring and will make you get the bug as well.  I have just had the most fantastic week with my grandchildren and we did sewing and watercolours and of course baking cookies. We had an amazing time.  You can see the images below of what we created.  Come back and visit for more tips and tricks on crafting and up cycling.

My grandchildren are ages six and seven and none of us have ever done watercolours before and they did these all on their own.  This kept them occupied for five hours it was amazing they were so excited just to do each part and could not wait to do the mountains and the stars.  For this we followed a FREE class on Udemy by Patrycja Jeleniewicz
