I was very excited yesterday evening when Hannah brought me back my pottery painting from her birthday party. Here are the finished items. I’m especially happy with the plate and really look forward to using it soon.
 Hannah also brought me a cool thank you card that she had coloured in. I love the vibrant colours she’s used, and the shiny bits that are part of the card. They really bring the picture to life.
I’ve not done much craft recently as I’ve not been feeling well and did not have the brain power or motivation to think about crochet, but i did make two cards. I got the idea from a calendar, then drew a squirrel, which I cut into different parts and then cut those parts out of different pieces of patterned card. I’m so pleased with how it turned out though it was fiddly to do! It s fun trying to pick the colours and patterns that would work best.
Then I decided to make a slightly simpler card with hummingbirds on as i had some shimmery cards that I thought would work well. While laying the pieces out they overlapped the edge and i decided that it would look cool if they did that once they were stuck down. Again, I’m really pleased with the final result.
I can see me making more cards like these in the future.
