Various crafties.....

It has been a while since I last posted and now supply teaching alongside my 2 days a week teaching French I was hoping to have lots more time to do crafty things though I'm finding myself being just as busy and working almost full time through the supply work. I'm enjoying it though and still managing to do some crafty things!

Having written about having time to do things I am reminded of a quote a saw the other day, where I can't remember but I thought it quite poignant:

“Time is a created thing. To say 'I don't have time,' is like saying, 'I don't want to.”  ― Lao Tzu

So I have managed to finish my goddaughters quilt (though forgot to take a picture of it so will do and then post it another time). I was pleased with it as it was suitably girly with a vintage feel which I really liked.

I have also made my sister some wedding bunting using nice scraps I had - she got married 13th October:




I still continue to cheat with my bunting and use adhesive web instead of actually sewing the letters on. One day I'll do it the proper way but it's such a time saver! This took me about 4 hours to do.

My husband then crafted a beautiful topper for them using supersculpty, he had had practice doing ours 3 years previously:
