Crafters Corner 2023/2024

I made this birthday card for my cousin's grand daughter, she'll be 2 yrs old next week.
There are several in the bin, that went wrong

The words say 'Happy Birthday'

I've blocked the names out.

The colours look rather dull on here but they are much brighter on the card.



The mermaid in the centre pulls out ...



The back ...

 

Oh, how cute Michael.

 

A pair of khaki socks for a WW1 soldier . A bit rough and ready but he would have been grateful to have them...
For our Yarn Bombers Remembrance Day display in November...

Here's another jacket I finished last week ( it was raining so I couldn't do much outside). It sports a new design feature! No more stuffing snotty tissues up your sleeve or mingling them with the contents of your enormous front pockets. The Snot Pocket has you covered!

 

Lovely and I love the colour ... and snot pocket

 

I made this card to congratulate my next-door neighbours on the birth of their first child - a little boy

The picture is painted on A3 paper and reduced in size on my computer, then superimposed on the blue background, and finally printed ...

Unfortunately the scanned card for this thread has come out a bit blotchy and blurred, but the actual card is fine.



Here's the Teddy on his own ...

 

That's lovely Michael.

 

Thank you @Sheal

 

Michael that's fabulous, it'll definitely become a much treasured keepsake, and rightly so too

 

Thank you @Upsydaisy

I spoke to my neighbours in the garden yesterday evening and they liked the card very much (I'd also put "something" small in it for good luck - you have to give something to a little baby don't you)
Since they liked the card so much I gave them the original painting of the Teddy bear. It's on A3 paper. They were thrilled and said they 'd get a frame for it and put it in the baby's bedroom.

 

That is fabulous Michael. Not surprised the parents are delighted ... and I love the idea of the framed print. Wonderful mementos for parents and child.

for you Michael.

 

Thank you @Victoria, I don't think I've ever had five gold stars for anything in my life

 

There's always a first!

 

And the fallen were laid to rest , their battle done,
and we will remember them,

I think yarn Bombers are amazing
