Megan's Headboard for a Bed.

By
Here is another reason why I love "The Craft Group".
 We have ladies from all walks of life, from all different ages, doing all sorts of crafts at many different skill levels. There is no pressure to conform.  There is no one looking down their noses at someone else and their craft and do we have showoffs? You bet! We all love to show off something we have made and everyone loves to see it.

I love the things Megan brings along to work on. This week it was a new head board for her son's bed. She brought along an  art canvas, some navy striped fabric and her mighty staple gun and off she went.
Megan is not short and I have heard it said that 
"All Sons Grow Taller than their Mother". 
Have you heard that too? Do you know of any exceptions to the rule? Over the many years since I have heard the theory, it has always been true... except in one family I know. The 22 year old son is shorter than his fairly tall mother, but... the father is shorter than his wife, so that seems to be a variable that can alter the theory.

Anyway, back to Megan's bed headboard. She bought  'King Single'  sized beds for her sons, knowing they will need a little extra length during their teenage years. So the canvas she bought is 1.9m X 1.2m.


I have so many ideas for my house and they just become part of my "To Do" list. I love it how Megan just does it! I love the head board idea for your sons' beds Megan. 
Send me a photo when the room is done!

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.

Mitred Granny Squares by Janice

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

Lantern making... a craft for kids

By

The school holidays are nearly over. Some kids have one more week. Why not get creative and make some pretty lanterns to hang in your bedroom? (Caitlin and Ryan... if you make one and take a photo, I'll put it on the blog!) A teacher at school made these with her grade 3 class.  I was the photographer, so I captured the pictorial step-by-step instructions.
