Another week of crafting at Carolee Crafts packing as much in as possible, not a lot of makes this week but a lot of planning, sketching designs etc.....

Christening Card
This was a bespoke order from a Facebook Group called Handmade in Hampshire, started by Gemma and growing by the day.



 Bought some wonderful fabric from Lucy again from Handmade in Hampshire, love the ballerina's and by adding applique satin ballet slippers with organza bows made a pretty gift for any little or big girl that loves pink an ballet.


Not one to waste anything, what could be done with the strips left? Scrunchies. Still have another length left so watch this space


Handmade Monday was started by Wendy of 1st Unique Gifts and opportunity to share our makes and tales of the previous week. Read the blogs of talented crafters and leave a comment, so come and join in at 1st Unique Gifts Blog
