Finally bought another sewing machine after 10 years! 🪡🧵

Does this mean I'll start posting again? Or will I lose interest if I don't master it immediately? ✨

What shall I attempt to make?

🦛 MOO DENG CROSS STITCH 🧵

Did I disappear for 10 months because I was creatively burnt out? Yes

Did Moo Deng reinspire me and become my reason for living? Also yes.

I hadn't attempted cross stitch since I was a kid and this took me weeks to finish but I love it. We won't look at the back as that's none of our business.

Pattern is from 🥰

🧶 BABY BLANKET ⭐

My first finished crochet project of 2024 🥰

This is also the first blanket I've ever made and it was a gift for my goddaughter's christening last weekend ❤️

I loved making it and I'm very tempted to make myself a larger one. Pattern is from and it was really easy to follow and adapt. The yarn used is from as part of the WI collection.

🗓️ HAPPY NEW YEAR! 🎆

Everyone that owns a cricut has made this now, right? 😃 The design is by and I highly recommend checking out her website!

I made this calendar using the draw function on my Cricut (because my coloured card is too big for my printer) and I matched the colours of my cats to their birthday months 🐈‍⬛ I was particularly happy with how March came out with white pen on black card.

I wasn't sure how to display the calendar and then I remembered I have a huge stash of mini wooden easels left over from our wedding and they are the perfect size!

I may be late posting this year but I've been busy crafting - more crochet coming soon 🥰

☕ CROCHET & COFFEE 🧶

I'm finally crocheting again! It's been so long since I've sat down with my hooks and made something just for fun, rather than for wedding prep!

I also painted this mug! My bridesmaids took me pottery painting and it was so cute ☺️ I painted this mug with leaves, inspired by the pattern on my wedding dress. The inside and the handle matched my wedding colour scheme. I also painted my new initials on the bottom.

It's an oatmilk peppermint mocha for anyone interested 🍫

🐈 🐕 WEDDING PETS 💒

One of my favourite wedding crafts ever! (Haven't I said that about all of them?)

As much as we wanted to, we really couldn't have our cats at our wedding. So I made some cut outs of them to go on the guestbook table. They ended up in Polaroid photos and on the dancefloor and everyone loved them! We also hosted a quiz at our wedding and obviously had a round all about our cats 😹

My best friends got married last weekend and wanted to have their dogs there so we made it happen! Not pictured is us gluing spatula handles onto dog heads in the hotel the night before! They were a massive hit too and ended up in the photo booth 📸

To make them we printed the pets on A3 paper and used spray adhesive to stick them to some foam board and cut them out. Super cheap but effective!

Thank you to my beautiful models and best friends ever 😂💜

Got to have your pets at your wedding somehow 😍

What a great idea!

If your pooch can’t be at your day how about getting props that you can have them with you through out the day. I’ve never seen this idea before and thought it was so cool.

🎄 WEDDING BAUBLE ❤️

My best friends got married last weekend and it was the most beautiful day!

Before their wedding I cut some vinyl for an empty clear bauble and I kept hold of some of their confetti at the wedding to put inside 🎉

Not pictured: me crawling around the floor picking up more confetti 😄

💒 WEDDING FLOWERS 🌷

As soon as I saw my wedding flowers I knew I wanted to try to preserve them because they were so beautiful. However, I didn't want to spend upwards of £200! So I bought some silica sand and a box frame and gave it a go myself! Lots of hot glue burns later and I'm pretty pleased with how it's turned out.

I've never done any kind of flower preservation before so and I'd love some feedback on how I can make it better! I've since added some strip lights to the inside of the frame but I don't love it so will try again. 🪻
