What makes you happy? or Anything Goes
Two prizes of a Penny Black stamp and die set from Buddly Crafts
I have lots of things in my life that give me joy and my crafting life features many different types. Aside from papercrafting I have picked up Cross Stitch after a break of a few years. There are lots of amazing patterns available these days and this one really appealed to me after the long wet winter we endured.
I chose thread colours to match the little scrap of patchwork cotton that I found in my sewing box. Once washed and ironed I got the sewing machine out and stitched the aida to the cotton and framed it myself.
Here is the first photobombed picture that I thought might make you smile...
Honestly, the hairy kids get everywhere!!
I hope you have a lovely weekend and I will see you soon xx
