Four Seasons

Hi Folks, Laura here today and oh, I enjoyed making this one...

I know it's not an original concept - the four seasons artwork has been done many times before but I still enjoyed interpreting it my way.  I started out with a four pack of mini canvasses, each painted a different shade of blue.

I then painted on a very unrealistically shaped tree!  I needed an even spread of branches to attach my button leaves to, so following the shape of a real tree didn't quite work!  I sorted through my button stash and pulled out blossom pinks and spring greens; rich leafy greens; and autumnal oranges, yellows, reds and browns.  I attached my buttons with matte gel medium, but any strong glue would be okay.

My favourite touch?  The autumn leaves that have dropped from the tree!

You can find Crafty Ribbons huge selection of buttons here!

Thank you for stopping by,
Laura

Thanks a bunch

Hello, Kate here with a thank you card, lovely bright colours and a fabulous orange satin ribbon from the tawny orange jam pot collection.

My crochet basket

I crochet once a day and it makes my day!

Today, it was a basket. Who does never say this sentence is not a crocheter...

These crochet messages are so right!

I put my work in progress in my crochet basket. It would be a big sheep...

On a bad day, ... there is always crochet!

So true for me and you?

Union Flag

Hi Laura here today,

To go along with the Tricolore and the Saltaire I was asked by Ali at Crafty Ribbons to make a Union Flag to decorate the show stand at U.K craft fairs.  From my experience with the other two I knew it was not going to be easy...

But I selected my ribbons and then added some more - these flags eat ribbon!!  No matter how big the pile of ribbons you start with, it just disappears in to the flag!

I planned my proportions and angles on paper first and then set to work attaching red drops of ribbon in the middle.  The next step was to fill either side with white and red combinations - in effect making a St George's Cross.

Then when that step was complete I added the blues and the narrow red for the cross of St Patrick.

To make a flag like this you will need:
A large selection of red, white and blue lace and ribbon.
London bus ribbon.
English Hearts ribbon.

Thanks for stopping by!

It bugs me ...

Ribbons. And since these wide ones are all

hair clips 's pouch

There is a hair clips's pouch for little or great girl!

You could hang to a wall or close it.

I used a spotty button and a swiss dot ribbon as closing

and  a new ladybird ribbon. (it exists in white, blue and pink)

If you would like some hair clips, I have some HERE. I feel pretty...

Handmade by me

There are many talented ladies who use their

sewing machines to make amazing creations! 

I'm not one of them, so I asked Caroline in

Sweden to make some head gears for children

using some of our new ribbons.

The image you see on the front of every cap

is, in fact, a reflective image. 

Here are three different ones, in different 

colours and with different reflective images.

Ribbons used are from the new range of 

handmade ribbons. You'll find them all HERE.

And they look like this:

If you'd like to see more information about 

Carolines' caps, welcome to my blog HERE.
