Pretty Cards

By
At The Craft Group we have a group of ladies who make beautiful cards. 
This one is by Rita who does lovely things 
with variegated threads and paper tole.

As I was looking for cards to 'snap' on the camera, Valda had this one finished. You can't see the 3D effect as well on my camera. Valda does amazing paper tole on her cards.

Mini Christmas crocheted stockings by Mandy - Free Pattern

These cute little Christmas stockings were made by Mandy. There was no real pattern to follow so we worked it out easily enough by sharing crochet know how and made little stocking decorations until they were everywhere. Wil and Bev G made a heap! Here are some pictures and a pattern! A pentagon granny square folded in half to make a little stocking. Make them in whatever colour you like! Add some sparkle :) or a bell on the toe! Put a few sweets, a roll of mints or a roll of cold hard cash inside, hang them on the Christmas tree and you will be popular. Click "read more" below for the pattern.

Busy!

Hi from your long lost blogger. All of a sudden things get a bit too busy and the blog has to be patient and wait for me! 2 main things have taken my attention. 1- My Dad went to hospital but is OK and getting well looked after there. His sense of humour is in tact so I know he is feeling a lot better. 2- I rearranged furniture. Hmmmm. I LOVE rearranging furniture. It gives me hope that things are going to be super organised with the new look. I knew this was going to be a tricky one though because I was actually going to end up with one cupboard less. Yes... one whole cupboard! Usually when I rearrange things it is to squeeze another space in somewhere to put stuff in. But with my new year's resolution to declutter, I don't want more space to store stuff (well I am trying to tell myself that is not what I want), I am actually wanting to have less stuff . So for a week I have a kitchen table full of 'stuff'. Now and then I attack it for half an hour and decide wh...

A project a day! I have so many photos of lovely things which have not yet appeared here on the blog. So, I am featuring a new craft item every day for 2 weeks, all made by ladies at The Craft Group. To continue… Project 5: Mitred Granny Squares by Janice Crocheted Granny Squares are in again and, as with all come-backs, there are clever variations. These mitred* squares are eye catching and can look stunning depending on the colours used. Janice made this green one which has a lovely 3D effect made by her use of various tones of graduating greens. It looks stunning in a whole finished rug. (*also spelt 'Mitered', depending on where you live).  Janice is then working on some other squares using bright coloured stripes, giving the finished product a completely different look. Nice work Janice! If you are feeling inspired, I found a lovely tutorial on how to do this version of a Granny Square. Click HERE to go to the "Crochet Again" b...
