New creations and yummy treats!

Hello fellow crafty bloggers!

I really need to start blogging more, i keep meaning to do it in the evenings. But after cooking dinner and looking after a toddler all day, i just wanna be able to relax!!

Just thought i'd share with you my new cushions i have made today...

What do you think?

Pink Patchwork Cushion

Blue Patchwork Cushion

Mini Rose Patchwork Cushion

I'm absolutely in love with patchwork stuff at the moment, currently trying to find a good book. Can anyone recommend a good one for patchwork and quilting..?

Only 2 more weeks till my first EVER craft stall!!
Getting very excited now, i hope people like my stuff and i can manage to actually sell something!
I will let you all know how it goes :)
I have lots of stock built up including, Hanging Hearts, Candles, Lavender Bags, Cushions, Pegs, Magnets, Cards, Pincushions, Bunting etc.
Better start getting ready for the Christmas markets soon!

Finlay is off with his great Auntie today (Probably terrorizing the cat...)
So i managed to get lots done, and even treated myself to a very delicious teatime cake!

Delicious blueberry and cream filled Muffin and a cup of tea :)

It was very yummy indeed!
If i could of shared it with you all i would have... Maybe ;)
Hope you've all had a wonderful crafty day!
Love to you all, Jodi xx

Cross Stitch Fever

I've always loved Cross Stitch, but never managed to finish any projects... I got this fantastic book the other day, and have been Cross Stitch crazy ever since! I've never tried lettering before and this was my first attempt...

Country Cross Stitch, 99p on Ebay!

Children's Alphabet Letters

Farmhouse Projects

Seasons

I was very pleased when i received the book, it has over 500 designs and will definatley keep me busy over the half term!

I also managed to complete my first ever cross stitch in just 3 hours! I buy the CrossStitcher Magazine every month, they have some beautiful little projects for beginners right up to Pro's. I'm just a Beginner at the moment, but i'm sure in time i'll be a pro. I'm currently designing my own Cross Stitch, so keep a look out!

Are any of my lovely followers fellow Cross-Stitch fans? I would love to see your designs and completed pieces!
Hope you've all had a lovely weekend and enjoying your week :)

Love to you all xx

A very productive day...

Another rainy day in Oxford, which means i can relax and get out my books!One of my absolute favourite books at the moment is 'Kirstie Allsopps Homemade Home' She is such an inspiring and creative woman. There are lots of lovely things i want to try my hand at, especially Candle Making and Fabric Decoupage.

  

I tried making her 'Teacup Candle' unfortunatley i don't have any fancy or vintage teacups, but found some standard ones that would do the job! These were just plain unscented natural wax candles, maybe when i'm a bit more advanced i can try scented/colour ones!

I will be keeping these ones i think :)

Candle Teacup in need of a home!

This was my first go, so i think i  might keep the blue teacups as they'll look lovely in my bathroom. Once i get my hand on some more cups (Currently raiding the Charity shops) i can make some more, and hopefully sell them on my stall at the Oxford Craft Market.
