My lovely class :)

Hello,

 

Today was my last ever day at 6th form (just my exams to go in a month and then I am off to uni!).....

 

...... and also my last ever day of the textiles club I run for the Year sevens at the school.

I have been running it for a few months and a lovely little group have been coming, we have made pin cushions, fabric flowers, ribbon flowers, stitched heart decorations and cards and I have had a really great teaching them :)

 

Today I brought some lollipops for them and we made stitched strawberries as our finale project. I was blown away though as they had got together and made me this fabulous card and bought me a sewing kit and scissors too, and some of them had made me extra little handmade gifts too!

 

Look, look, look!:

 

 

Hehehe, the strawberry on the keyring is what we were making today (if anyone wants a tutorial for the strawberries I could post one up- they are very easy- you can let me know :)

 

I have started using this pin cushion already :-)

 

The gifts and card are so amazing, I love them soo much- and my sweet little class :o)

 

The sewing kit will be coming to uni with me- I'm sure it will come in very handy as it seems to have everryyythinggg!

 

See you all soon- I feel emotional again!,

 

Bye xxx

ATC fun :)

Hey!

After making the ATC's for the swap I did with Laura I have wanted to experiment and make more, so the other day, I did :-) I had lots of little cross stitch kits I finished a while ago (some of you may remember me posting about them) and have been trying to think of what to make them into and I thought why not make them into ATC's to expand my collection? I also made a different version of the 'American diner' one I made for the swap:

They really are so fun to make! They are quick and easy and really get your creative thoughts flowing :)

I am off to the Isle Of Wight again tomorrow for Easter :D Yay! Guess what.... for Easter this year my mum booked for me and my family to go and make our own big Easter eggs at Chocolate Island, I am so excited!!! I will be sure to keep you all posted if I have Internet access but if not I will make sure to post all my holiday snaps and news when I get home :0)

I hope you are all having a nice week!

see you all soon,

Bye xxxx

Mothers day and a marshmallow! :3

Hola!

My mum liked her bracelet! Yay! :D I was sooo happy :-) 

here is a picture of the card I made my mum too, I couldn't post a picture the other day as I hadn't finished it yet:

My Mum likes squirrels :P the design was from a Mouseloft kit I got for my birthday and I added 'nuts please!' because I thought he looked a bit cheeky like he was asking for some food! It is a fridge magnet :)

And today when I was watching a murder mystery with my mum I stitched this little marshmallow:

She is called Marsha Mellow (as named by my Dad, hehehe :-) I will soon be making her a chocolate topping too because my favourite sandwich ever since my brother got me vegetarian marshmallows is toasted marshmallow and chocolate spread :P mmmm yum yum! I reccommend whipping one up and trying it :)

Happy Mothers Day Mum! 

Hehehe, See you all soon,

Bye <3
