Fancy a Cuppa??
I'm not a tea fan myself but the rest of my family are. I found that Tea Cosy's make a great gift. They are really easy and fun to make.
Below is just one of the Tea Cosy's I have made. This was a birthday pressie for my sister!

Wool Storage Basket
I decided to make a fabric basket to store the wool I'm currently working with instead of it being strewn all over the sofa!!
I added a pocket to keep my scissors and crochet needle in!
Hopefully now I can be nice and tidy!!

Cupcakes
My mother in law bought me this lovely cake stand as a Christmas gift and so instead of leaving it empty I thought I would make some cupcakes and put it on display.

Bunting
I absolutely love this kitchen dresser!! My husband painted it to match the rest of the kitchen and I just filled it with everything I love. I made the bunting out of scrap pieces of fabric I had.
Fabric Storage container
These containers are great for storing little bits. I made my sister a set of three for Christmas and she finds them really useful. I intend on making myself some more to go on some shelves my hubby has just put up in the Laundry room. They are really quick and simple to make.
Home Sweet Home
I saw a canvas print in a shop which had Home Sweet Home on it, I liked it so thought why not make my own!!
Fabric Bird
This bird pattern is from the 'Sew Sunny Homestyle' book.
Sewing Box
I love my sewing box. My husband made me this out of wood and I then covered it in the felt . The inspiration for this came from Cath Kidston. The roof has wadding under the felt which means I can use it as a pin cushion as well which has proved very useful!!
Sewing Box
This is great for storage, it fits loads in so instead of having loads of different boxes filled with different things I now just have one!
Flower Pot Door Stop
This, I think, was the first thing I made that I didn't actually have a pattern for. I got my idea from some pin cushions I saw in shop, there was a little flower pot and mouse. I just thought it would be nice to have the mouse peeping out from the flower pot. I'm really please with the way it turned out.

Cath Kidston Fabric Curtains
I made this curtain for my laundry room with the left over fabric from my kitchen curtains. There wasn't quite enough of it though so I added the red gingham at the bottom which I think works lovely with the Cath Kidston fabric.
Pin Board
Using left over material from my curtains I made this pin board. Its really easy to make I just bought a cheap wooden pin board for £1.00 and then put some wadding over it and the stapled the material over that, then just add the ribbon.
Cath Kidston Fabric Heart
After making my curtains I had some left over fabric so I made this little heart to hang in my kitchen.
ribbon Tie back
A simple way to tie back curtains. I just used sticky back velcro to hold the curtains to the wall.
Cath Kidston Fabric curtains
These curtains were my first sewing project.

Rag Basket
I thought I'd try my hands at crocheting with rags. This was the result, I'm not too sure if I like it if I'm honest.
