Jubilee 2022 Easy Cross-Stitch Crowns

Posted on 03/06/202231/05/2022 by Kay

One final craft for the Jubilee this weekend, something quick and simple to make, and a great keepsake! Some cute and easy cross-stitch crowns. You can even make up your own designs.

I’ve been cross-stitching for a long time now. I like to refer to it as my gateway craft!

To make these, I honestly just drew out a basic crown shape and went from there; which also means if you’re even a little creative, you can modify these to your hearts content!

LOVE Rainbow Journal Theme – June

Posted on 01/06/202231/05/2022 by Kay

May flew by, remaining fairly uneventful. I did manage do get some jubilee crafting done ahead of the celebrations this week, and keep your eyes peeled for one final post in a couple of days time! In the meantime I am starting the month as I always do, sharing my bujo, and this month I have a rainbow journal theme!

There’s a bit of black… and definitely red… I may have strayed from the monochrome theme a little this month.

Bedroom Redecorating – Boring to Bliss

Posted on 06/05/202231/05/2022 by Kay

The original talk about plans for bedroom redecorating happened back in 2020. And again last year. The trouble is, we rent, and we have a lot of stuff; couple that with two indoor cats and it all becomes a bit of a work up… We got there eventually!

In this post I thought I’d keep it brief, but share how we changed our bedroom simply by changing the paintwork! I’d still consider it a bit of a work in progress, but it looks miles better now!

Ladybirds was an easy choice to keep the red and black theme going strong! (Though I did add a little green…)

Day 12! In case you missed it; It’s that time again, A-Z Challenge season! This month I am keeping things simple; sharing makes past and present, as well as a few I’ll try to create just for the challenge! Today I thought I’d go with a nice theme of love and relationships cards.

Each post I will try to share around five or six pics of handmade cards; using different styles, methods and elements. For an added challenge, I will be working entirely from my craft stash! (I do have a ridiculous amount of papers, embelishments and what not to use!)
