Scrapbooking

By
There are just 4 days until The Craft Group has it's enrolment morning! It will be really nice to see everyone again and see what creations have been made over the holidays. I will take photos and show them to you! 
I have an embarrassing number of photos to put on the blog over the holidays but alas, I didn't have the time, deciding instead to spend two and a half weeks camping by the beach. *sigh*
Not to mention my de-cluttering attempt when I was at home, which did see me sort some things. The problem was I ended up with a bigger mess than I started with when I pulled the carpet out of the loungeroom. Oops, I got a bit mixed up between "decluttering" and "sudden spontaneous renovating". 
In my list of things, I had so many scrapbook pages photographed but I wasn't happy with the quality of my photos. They didn't do the beautiful pages justice.
This term I want to start featuring some of the best pages the scrapbooking ladies have made, so watch this space.
I thought this one looked exceptionally pretty with the colours in the photo enhanced by the colours used to decorate the page.
Nice page Bev and a very pretty granddaughter amongst Sturt Dessert Peas in the outback.!

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...

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.
