Today I'd like to show you some bits and pieces that I have made in the last few days. Whilst considering what to make that doesn't involve knitting or crocheting, I consulted my back issues of Mollie Makes magazine. I found two projects that were quick and fun to make.
The first is this cute little apple pin cushion from issue 6.
It's hand stitched, with felt for the stalk and leaf.
These would make nice little gifts for crafty friends.
In Mollie Makes, I also saw an idea to use washi tape to decorate a jam jar.
It makes a lovely decorative pencil jar.
I'm continuing to work my way through the magazine's. I haven't looked at them for a while and it's surprising how new inspirations come from looking at the pages with new eyes.
Whatever you are doing today, I hope you find inspiration and time for a bit of creativity.
Love the apple pin cushion and the doily it is sitting on is beautiful, is it one of your makes?
ReplyDeleteThanks Lorraine. The doily is one I made a few years ago from the Tea Time pattern by Denise Augostine.
DeleteLove the jar idea - might pinch that.
ReplyDeletePlease do, it's a quick project and easy project. I may make some more.
