Beehive Needlecase

By
Country Threads Magazine featured this cute project.
The Beehive is made of felt and pretty embroidery with a few cute buttons.
It is a needlecase and mini scissor holder. You know you want to make one, I can see it in your eyes.

For those of you who come along to the group....  it is just 2 more sleeps until The Craft Group meets again for a new term!!! It will be really nice to see everyone again (and see their projects they have been busy with??)

This term if anyone wants to make the Beehive Needle case project (taken from Country threads magazine), you can see the magazine on thursday and Leanne has made up kits (so everyone doesn't have to put together the little bits 'n pieces required.)

Here's a reminder of what it looks like...



See you then.

Now, this term will be a bit different for me :(
Remember that I told you about my Javelin throwing attempt?
Well, the end diagnosis for my knee is a snapped Anterior Cruciate Ligament and some other bits 'n pieces of damage and so they are going to operate and tell some of my hamstring muscle that it has done a fine job and is going to be promoted to being an ACL! Lucky hammy.
That  little piece of knee reconstruction is going to happen this term, so Jen is going to steer the ship for a while while I am out of action.
Also... Nadia knows the sex of the baby so I am told.... or was that just a small town rumour?

For those of you who are in our cyber craft group... I will post plenty of photos of the lovely things people are making, just to inspire you!

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

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.
