Card Designs

This week I designed some cards using some of my oil pastels. For some of the cards I drew some basic (henna styled) floral patterns, I did this in both landscape and portrait. As for the middle card in the picture above. I outlined a large flower in the middle of the card with a pencil  then using red, yellow and orange I coloured it in.

The card below is a henna design.

Step 4: Place the biscuit mixture into the cake tin (I used a heart shaped flexible mould)

Crochet Phone case

This week at SLH crafts I have been making a crochet phone case . I have made the case with a character from the online game 'Minecraft' called a creeper.  Me, my brother and my sister love this game as it is fun, but is also educational which keeps my mum happy. A lot of homeschooled kids also play this game. So I thought to myself, I like Minecraft and I like crochet... soooooo lets make a  Minecraft crochet phone case! 

I made my own pattern for this, first making a printed grid, 29 down by 14 across and then making the design for the creepers face. Then I used single crochet stitches in green and black wool for the front and then just green wool for the back piece. Lastly I joined the two pieces together with the same green wool to make the case.

Crochet Booties

Over the past week I have been busy making a variety of crochet booties which are great for all those VIB's! (very important baby).

In the photo above there are some pink crochet booties with a white sole and collar, there is also a white bow in the front of the booties. I crocheted these free hand so I unfortunately can't give you a pattern.

Above there is a mini baby sneaker again I didn't follow a pattern ,but I did get the idea from a YouTube tutorial. Here is the link Crochet Baby Sneakers

This photo above was another free hand project that I did for my sister's barbie doll.
