Love is in the air! With Valentine’s Day next week I wanted to give a little love to one lucky reader. An eclectic pack of crafty goods worth £40 is up for grabs.
I’ve been overwhelmed by the positive comments and crafty love I’ve been getting since I started blogging again in December. This is my way to say thanks; the giveaway has not been sponsored. All the prizes are from me to you!
More details on what you can win below!

These roses have been inspired by my latest obsession with rustic industrial interiors. (Or as Annie Sloan calls it, warehouse interiors.) I love industrial decor for the way it combines practical with cosy. And what’s more practical than flowers that don’t need to be watered?
All you need is a pair of pliers and some galvanised wire.
Best bit? This project is also outdoor friendly. Rose-topped plant supports would be gorgeous!
When I learned to needle felt, I tried the simple (but very impractical) technique of using a cookie cutter as a template. A cookie cutter template (literally) sounds good on paper. It turns out it’s hard to tell how thick the felt is or how defined the edges are.
If you do want to use a cookie cutter, make sure it’s a shallow one. ;)
I thought I’d some tips on how to needle felt whatever shape you like. Cookie cutters optional!
We’re moving house this spring. This means a couple of things:
- One, I am saving every bit of spare bubble-wrap I can find.
- And two, I can’t just keep ignoring my WIP pile.
I’m the type of person that finds it easier to purge her wardrobe than to get rid of crafty materials. And I don’t often admit a WIP isn’t so much a ‘work in progress’ as it is a ‘work to never be finished’.
The thing is, sometimes it’s good to give up on a project.
