14 Projects in 2014 - in memory of Soulie

owl_fan

Hello all,

I am working hard at work so not much time for crafting, but I am knitting several things and when they are made I will show them.
Meanwhile, I have made some little boxes and paper bags for putting mini eggs in for Easter:
I have posted the pictures on Flickr. Still don't know how to show pictures on here!

welcome back greentiger

love all the cards Florenceem

started making a biscornu at the weekend, if it looks ok im going to make another and give them as gifts at the double christening weve been invited to. ive never made one before as i always thought they looked very complicated but i found some quite basic instructions that i understood so ill give it a go. ive cross stitched the front and am work on the back pattern now, its the putting together part that will decide if its a gift or not

Biscornu are great fun and I'm sure you won't have any problem. I find it fascinating that you start off with 2 flat pieces of fabric and end up with a 3D item. They will make lovely christening gifts

greentiger welcome back

owlfan Lovely work Flickr has changed the layout a bit but if you click on your photo you will see on the right hand side a symbol for sharing - it's a box with an arrow and if you click on that you have the option of copying the html code which is what you need to paste into your message here Not sure if this makes sense or not - try it out

Mrs-moneypenny, I am intrigued by your biscornu. I haven't come across that before. I have Googled it now and I'm looking forward to seeing what you make.

Not done much crafting since we came home - getting ready for painting and decorating back bedroom - but I have started on an April stitchery. Need to get this done for future dil's birthday on 29th. It doesn't take long, just need to make time.
