52 Crafts in 52 Weeks - Week Thirty Nine

Granny has been visiting us these past few days...  And when Granny comes to stay, all the unfinished crafty projects we've been busy with over the past while get hauled out to be completed... 

  As well as being a fabulous crafter and teddy bear artist (creativity runs in the family it would seem), Granny is a wonderful knitter and kindly helped me stitch up my little piggy this afternoon... 

This knitted piggy was designed by Amalia Samios.  You can visit her Etsy shop here!

I intend to give this sweet piggy to Beth as a birthday present...  Her birthday is coming up very soon and she just adores stuffed animals and is absolutely smitten with this project:)

Have you been tackling any crafty projects recently?

52 Crafts in 52 Weeks - Week Thirty Eight

 

 I thought I would show you the little craft project I tackled this morning...

...I made a rustic wire heart to hang in my garden using the instructions found in 'The Garden Room' by Tessa Evelegh...  

I spray-painted mine white and hung it up with a piece of hessian twine.

...What do you think?

52 Crafts in 52 Weeks – Week Eighteen

 

 

One of my favourite crafty magazines, Crafts Beautiful Magazine (UK), was my source of inspiration for last week’s craft day.  I decided to sew the button heart featured in the January 2013 edition.  A few years ago, though, I didn’t feel the need to learn how to sew.  I am so glad I had a turn-around, because these little hearts were so much fun to make and sew!

If you would like to make one of these adorable hearts (which look so sweet hung on a chair or bedpost or even on the wall), visit Crafts Beautiful website here.  You will need to order a back issue before making it.  If you are a craft lover, I would definitely recommend buying it every month.  Each magazine comes with a free gift as well as loads of projects (stitch craft, baking, paper craft and more) to try.

As you can see, I am almost caught up after a few crazy weeks.  I am finding new inspiration every day and looking forward to more craft projects in this lovely challenge!

Crafty greetings!
