She has used her Kids learn to crochet book to follow the diagrams so with very little help she has managed a few presents for her friends. This is genuinely how tidy her basket is all the time - puts us to shame doesn't it?
She cut the felt flowers, chose buttons and crocheted the centres. All I had to do was supervise using the glue gun to stick them all together in the layering up part. I also sewed the brooch pins on because she was struggling to get through the backing and the holes.
This afternoon we made stamped tags together because I had a few Christmas gifts that needed tags too. Look at this find from the craft show at the NEC a few weeks ago. I have had my £1 investment back already! Tah da!
Hope you are enjoying crafting at the moment, on your own or in the company of someone you love spending time with.

No crafting here unfortunately. How sweet, a budding crochet queen. Tell Heidi that I think she is fab and that she could teach my Annie (12) a lesson or two. Have a lovely week. x
ReplyDeleteHow pretty!!! That really is so wonderful, her basket is great too, mine is never that tidy either! Perhaps we need to rethink our working ways! They will be lovely gifts and much loved I am sure! xx
ReplyDeleteBrilliant idea, a very clever girl, my two are getting to grips with cross stitch x

ReplyDeleteShe is certainly following in her dear Mums footsteps with a talent for crafting. Love the stamps, a beautiful finale.
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely gifts, I hope she remembered to make one for herself :0
ReplyDeleteShe is just amazing. I think she's well on her way to becoming a crafty maven just like her mum. :)

Your daughter is doing a beautiful job of creating these flowery gifts! I really like the colour combinations she has chosen.
ReplyDeleteJo, you and I are partners for the Christmas card exchange through Amy's blog (Love Made my Home). I cannot access your email from your blog profile page. Could you email me at septviolets@gmail.com to exchange addresses? Thanks!

Talented just like her mummy, I remember my eldest daughter was constantly knitting and crocheting however, unlike your daughter she was and still is a very messy pup. She went on to get a degree in textiles at Central st Martins and she came second in the Knitting and stitching awards. As you can imagine I was so proud to see my daughters work at a show we had been coming to together for years. I know you are very proud
ReplyDeleteI'm excited to see Big Sis grow her skill, and I admire her tidiness! Your stamped tags are a great idea! Thanks for sharing, Jo. xx
