Good morning. I'm still not doing very well in the crafting department. I just don't know what's wrong with me at the moment. I have some cards I need to make and also a couple of applique squares for a WI wall hanging so I really need to get my skates on - and my thinking cap!
I have not been totally idle though because I have made some simple candles and Christmas trees using the book folding technique. I find folding the pages very soothing and simple and yet you still come out with something pretty at the end of it.
My Projects
It is interesting to see the difference when you use different sized books and different coloured paper. The ladies at our weekly WI craft sessions (aptly called "Craft and Laugh"), none of them paper crafters, want me to do a session teaching them this, and another one to make some boxes, just in time for Christmas. It's always nice to try out different crafts. One of our ladies does lace making and tatting and so we have had a couple of sessions with those too. Very interesting.
Well that's it from me for now. Take care and have a good day.

They look nice and neat Christine, xxx
ReplyDeleteHey Christine, can't you come over and teach me how to make this awesome projects?! I love them! It seems so nice to me, crafting with other ladies and have fun. Sometimes me and my daughter Yvonne do some crafts together, but she is living about 30 km from here, so it does not happen very often.
ReplyDeleteI missed your snowman below and he is sooo nice too!
Have a nice day, Lia xx

ReplyDeleteHi Christine,
ReplyDeleteoh these are soooooooooo! awesome, and wonderfully made.
I love the candles and especially the Christmas Trees.
They are going to look lovely at Christmas.
I have never tried this as my folding would never be accurate enough.
Your WI sounds wonderful.
I used to belong to the WI many years ago, but it wasn't close to me and the distance to travel became too much in the evenings.
Love and big hugs rom my house to yours.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
Wow fabulous workd of art.xxx

Hi Christine
ReplyDeleteTerrific folded projects and beautifully decorated.
Had to look up what "tatting" is. Sounds very interesting and fiddly lol!
Best wishes.
