Cardmaking

Yesterday I went on a cardmaking spree with my friend as we watched the third series of Doctor Who, although it was rather distracting from the show in the end so I had to stop being all crafty!

Spotlight was selling huge bags of craft stuff for $5, so we were overloaded with fabulous ribbons, stickers, pins, patterned paper and stuff I had never even dreamed of.

Here are some of my final products:

The blank spaces are for writing short greetings such as 'Happy Birthday' or 'Congratulations' when the time comes :)

Just looking at them makes me feel happy!! Just what I need for some study relief :) Can't wait to have more time for this kind of thing!

Guerilla Knitting x2

 Yesterday my friend and I hit the local streets to administer a little urban art.

After a few weeks of knitting with nice thick wool and large needles, we finally had our beautifying artworks to sew up along the street. Armed with a large needle, knitting yarn and scissors, we spent some time sewing up our creations whilst avoiding eye contact with awkward neighbours.

 

 

 My friend used black, grey and red wool with an assortment of ribbons tied neatly around the edge, and some fancy metal buttons for extra charm.

 Mine was in my old spot from two years ago. Sadly, the council finally got round to getting rid of my old one, although that's probably a good thing seeing as it was looking pretty manky and falling apart! My new knitting is a combination of wool and synthetic fluffy yarn. I have added some funky buttons of different sizes and colours on each end for extra spunk.

It's great to feel you're making your local area more pretty and interesting!
