More Flexy Fun

Recently I wanted to make a birthday card for a 50th birthday and as I was still thinking ‘Flexy’ I decided to create a crochet Hexaflexagon to add to the card. Because the idea is to remove the hexaflexagon and play with it, I printed a photo of it underneath. The high cost of ink… Read More More Flexy Fun

Monthly Montage – November

I only had four posts for you last month and one of those was the October Montage, so I was a bit lacking in photographs for my montage and had to settle for a rectangle instead of my preferred square. This does not indicate a lack of creativity on my part however but reflects the… Read More Monthly Montage – November

Christmas card 2018

I am making so many hand-made presents this year that I wasn’t sure if there would be time to make my own Christmas cards. However the idea I had was a matter of printing and folding and didn’t involve time-consuming crochet or cross-stitch, so I finally sat down on Saturday to see what I could… Read More Christmas card 2018

Another Never-ending card

I made my granddaughter an ‘Never-ending card’ for her birthday. I tried a different way to arrange things than I had with my Easter card and an earlier birthday card. The birthday card was the first one I made and I kept it simple with coloured edges a bit of writing and lots of stickers.… Read More Another Never-ending card

Mother’s Day card

I know Mother’s Day was a couple of weeks ago but I thought that I would like to share the card my daughter gave me with you. (That’s the Tram museum daughter). It is just the sort of thing it would be lovely to make if I was good at that sort of thing. I… Read More Mother’s Day card

Easter cards

I made some crochet cards at Christmas with removable stars but it seemed to me after I had got into making bookmarks that cards incorporating removable bookmarks would be even more worthwhile. Now I am not really an Easter card sending person but where people have sent me cards in the past, I have felt… Read More Easter cards

Crochet Christmas cards

These are really easy to make. First you make the stars. I always think six-pointed stars for Christmas cards as a reference to the six-pointed ‘Star of David’ as Jesus was a Jew and was born in the ‘City of David’. (Pattern at the end in UK and US versions.) I used Twilley’s Goldfingering in… Read More Crochet Christmas cards
