My Crafting Month

[smallhobbit]

Those of you who follow me will already have seen these pictures, but for anyone else, and because I keep saying I will post things, here are my various crafts for March.

A paper mosaic I called Starburst from an online watchalong from Imperial Lates (Imperial College, London):



And the wet felting eggs I made with a zoom Dare to Dabble afternoon:

  

I finished my own hat, with the Klimt pattern and began one for the daughter, who sent me the wool:

 

I knitted my mother bees for Mother's Day and a sunflower for her birthday:

 



I've knitted the first of the Easter egg cosies - this one will be going in the post to the daughter:



And my William Morris cross stitch is now more than 80% completed:

Awesome crafting progress! Also, I like the cross stitch.

[smallhobbit]

Thank you - it's been fun. I'm very pleased with the way the cross stitch is turning out.

Yay! All your recent progress in one place! Well done!


Out of curiosity, what size is the sunflower? And how is the stem done?

[smallhobbit]

Thank you - I kept talking about what I was doing on here, so I wanted to share the pics.

The sunflower head is about 3" across, maybe a little less. The stem is a knitted rectangle around a green craft pipe cleaner (chenille stick) (I have a batch of them from using them for something three or four years ago.)

I'm sure everyone wil enjoy seeing them!

It's a fair size then. Ctraft pipecleaners are so useful. I used them for the legs of my Googly Bugs.

Oh wow! Nice to see all of them. The hats, the bees, the sunflower. And the egg cosy. I do like the cross stitch best. It's going to very nice, indeed.

Thank you very much. The cross stitch is my favourite too - it's certainly taken most time! I'm very pleased with the way it's going.

A fine selection of crafts! I like the hat particularly.

[smallhobbit]

Thank you. I was very pleased with the hat, and look forward to wearing it.
