Lots of photos to catch up from the past week!
When I had to break off from my daily blogging last weekend I kept myself entertained whilst ill by doing nice relaxing crafty things like cutting and sticking (making thankyou notes to send out with my orders) and doing a bit of knitting...

... then I went to visit my mum for a few days to get looked after & took lots of sewing projects with me. I made a start on finishing these ...

... and then I got scratched on my sewing hand by my mother's giant cat Ollie and was stuck unable to sew for a few days. This is the beast wot dunnit (normally very sweet tempered!)

Now I'm back and (almost) fully healed and getting stuck into some sewing again. On Sunday I made a batch of specially ordered poppies (including one little poppy in "orchid", which turned out rather nicely) ...

... and then yesterday (Crafting 365, day 353) I finished some bluetit and badger brooches that had been sitting in my wip box for just ages awaiting their eyes and little noses: all the fiddly final touches.

In other news: you can now send an e-card featuring one
of my photos over on DaWanda, in
English,
French or
German. I didn't know in advance that my product would be featured, so it was a very nice surprise when I went to check out their new e-cards!

Plus a big shout out and congratulations are due to fellow UK crafter
Bombus who was Etsy's
Featured Seller at the weekend and (drumroll please) to
Memake who is I think the first Crafting 365 member to actually
complete their 365 project! She managed to stick very strictly to the task and completed it within a calendar year (unlike me!) and took some fab pics along the way. You can check out her amazing crafting photos
HERE.
