Day 4! 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! Any excuse right, it’s time for some Disney themed 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!)

Bring in Spring With Floral Easter Quilling

Posted on 18/03/202203/04/2022 by Kay

I thought I’d share something a little different on the blog today! I’ve given quilling a bit of a go over the last year (I am by NO MEANS any sort of expert!) but I thought I’d attempt to bring in spring with some floral Easter quilling!

It’s been a mixed bag so far this month in terms of weather, so I thoguht I’d dig out my bright coloured paper strips and create something floral and fun!

Tea Time Mini Cross-Stitch

Posted on 09/03/202201/04/2022 by Kay

This year I decided I wasn’t going to do a big stitching project, and just work on random bits I haven’t done, or use some of the mini kits in my stash. So today I’m sharing one such kit, a Mouseloft tea time mini cross-stitch.

I quite like mini kits, as I can just work on them in an evening watching tv or a film. They’re never very complicated, and tend to be quite cute.

No Sew Felt Love Heart Decorations

Posted on 07/02/202214/02/2022 by Kay

I wanted to try something fun and different this season; so I got thinking, and remembered some old origami I learned as a child. And so I decided to make some no sew felt love heart decorations! Perfect for Valentine’s or just because!

Instead of sewing these; which is -of course- an option; I used some glue, felt and other bits and pieces from my craft stash, to make some cute handmade decorations. I also quite like the idea of layering these, to be able to use vinyl to decorate them! Perhaps some other time!

Simple DIY Scrap Fabric Hoop Art Love Heart

Posted on 04/02/202210/02/2022 by Kay

It’s love season, and I couldn’t resist digging into my stash to make some pretty scrap fabric hoop art! I chose a simple heart design, to keep this DIY project quick and easy to make!

Everything I used for this project was from my craft stash, and would make great home decor, or a fun handmade gift, for Valentines, Mother’s Day or even for birthdays, new babies, weddings and anniversaries! Changing up the colours alone makes this an incredibly versatile project.

Starting 2022 with a Simple Knitting Project

Posted on 19/01/202219/01/2022 by Kay

I’ve had a nice little break at the beginning of the year, from work, and from the blog. It’s been nice to have a little bit of me time! Just chilling, reading and relaxing. But of course, I’ve also been working on some craft projects, ideas and plans. I’ve started the year with a simple knitting project to begin the year.

I wanted to do something that wouldn’t take too much brain power; as well as using up some of the stuff in my stash; so I’ve picked up my knitting needles, and some pretty cherry red yarn!
