Cushion for Annabelle
Annabelle is 1!
Very keen to provide lovely things for my niece I made an appliqué cushion with her name and things beginning with 'A' on it. Apple, anchor, aardvark!
Main cushion cover made from felt with a zip closure on the back, appliquéd felt and Amy Butler fabric letters with embroidered apple and anchor and appliquéd aardvark.
Appliquéd Aardvark - if thats not a craft blog waiting to be published I don't know what is.
I digress!
As you can see, the cushion got a round of applause.
Charity Corsages
Me and my knitting group made a tree for Knit in Public day last month, full of leaves and flowers (and 3 slugs).
The plan was to sew these flowers and leaves together into corsages and then sell them for Mustard Tree; a charity for homeless and vulnerable people in Manchester.
So here are the finished articles! Some knitted, some sewn, some crocheted.
We have sold a few already and got over £40! If we continue to sell at similar prices we should get over £130, which I think is pretty good.
