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

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.

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
