My Heart Has Wings Tutorial By June Crawford of A Creative Dream

Do you love making hearts? If you do June Crawford has a wonderful tutorial on her A Creative Dream blog showing you how to make a heart with wings. Enjoy!

My heart has wings...

Here's what June had to say about her tutorial: I'm fascinated with hearts and wings lately. Well, honestly, I've been fascinated with each for a very long time, but more recently it's been them together. I'm not sure if it has any underlying meaning or not...but they have been in my dreams for a while now. Driving home from work last Thursday an idea came to me.

I tend to see things completely finished when an idea comes to me, the details all have to be worked out later, but the underlying idea begins with a mold that I have for wings, an old, old, old quilt, and is influenced by some very old linens that my grandmother embellished.

Mini Paper Heart Wreath Tutorial By June Crawford of A Creative Dream

Do you like recycling old paper and creating all sorts of decorations for your home? If you do then you'll be pleased to know that June Crawford has a wonderful tutorial on her A Creative Dream showing you how to make a paper heart wreath. Have fun making yours.

Mini paper heart wreath... part 2

Here's what June had to say about her tutorial: It seems that wreaths made of cones of paper are enjoying a resurgence. We have one at the office that we bring out during the holidays that Charlene made 30 or so years ago... she used some of that great perforated computer paper that is probably no longer in existence, glued the cones onto a cardboard wreath shape, added some embellishments, and voila... an interesting wreath. We have a local artist who makes them from books that are falling apart, and I've seen them done in various papers all across the web.

Well, if these are going to be a hit again, I want to get in on it too... with a little twist of course. I decided they might make some lovely small wreaths, and, since it is February... why not make them heart shaped too? And, maybe a tad smaller than the regular size wreath so they can hang on door handles, or maybe in a window pane, or be added to packages, or put on the windshields of cars in parking lots to surprise the random stranger... the possibilities just keep coming. Mine didn't turn out exactly as I had seen them in my head, but I thought I'd share the process with you anyway.

Carol's Bio: My life is at the stage that I can indulge in my interests of Embroidery and Crafts. Ribbons,beads,threads, laces and trims all have a special place here in my studio.

My childhood was spent on the family dairy farm in Toowoomba, Queensland. When I was about 12 years old, my Grandmother (nicknamed Daisy – hence the name Daisy’s Garden) introduced me to the joys of needlework. I am so thankful to her for giving me a skill that I could enjoy and build upon for life. After the chores were done, whenever I had some spare time, I would sit quietly on the front porch and stitch away. I remember these times so fondly. When I retired, and finally had some time to myself, I had the desire to do embroidery again. I didn’t get far with the fancy work tablecloth however, once I discovered Silk Ribbon Embroidery, I became addicted!

Pierina's Snuggly Hot Water Bottle Cover - Christmas Tutorial No. 12 By Ros Coffey of RosMadeMe Blog

If you love to knit and are looking for a great gift for someone who is always cold then you'll be pleased to know that Ros Coffey has another wonderful tutorial on her RosMadeMe Blog blog showing you how to make a knitted hot water bottle cover. What a great gift.

Here's what Ros had to say about her tutorial: My best friend is Pierina, I met her on my first day at secondary school, over 40 years ago and she has the misfortune to live in a household of hot blooded men! So hot blooded are they that they constantly turn down/off the radiators, which means that layers and a hot water bottle are the only way for a girl to go!

Now this is a really easy and quick gift to make for your friends, it took me just over three hours to knit and another hour to Swiss darn and sew up. To add a little more interest we will also be using a twisted rib, which sounds so much more complicated than it really is and a moss/seed stitch frame to emphasise your Swiss darning. You can vary the darning to create a snowflake, initials or any other pattern that takes your fancy... I have used a heart cos I love my hot water bottle in the Winter!

Ros's Bio:I live by the sea, in Essex, in Leigh-on-sea. I have been making things since I was a child, earliest memories were embroidering squares of binca matting, making felt egg cups and ripping back my knitting when my sister had picked up a dropped stitch... yep, it really did have to be all my own work! I am a dreadful hoarder, with stashes of wool and fabric hidden around my house, together with the projects that I have not yet finished. I am currently making cushions, quilted, appliqued, stencilled... actually just anything that I will enjoy crafting.

Making a Spectacle - Glasses Case Tutorial By Ros Coffey of RosMadeMe Blog

Is your reading glass case getting a little worn? Are you looking to make another one? If so, then you'll be pleased to know that Ros Coffey has a tutorial on her RosMadeMe Blog blog showing you how to make a cheery eyeglass case.

Here's what Ros had to say about her tutorial: I found some fabulous bias binding in my local shop and just had to have it... floral bias binding is the future! Then what could I make from it... well, the answer was in my handbag, my reading glasses case was looking a little the worse for wear, also it was black and I could never find it in the bottom of my handbag to say nothing of the suitcase which held my sunglasses which was almost as big as my handbag... so I was off an running. What I need is a simple quilted speccy case!
