Reloved Magazine in the UK features 3 of our Christmas book projects!

It's so lovely seeing our projects in magazines. We're so pleased that Reloved magazine in the UK chose our Glacial Lace Hangings, Stacked Christmas Trees and Bondi Beach baubles.

Reader craft: Estonia. Stack It Up Christmas Trees

I love it when readers send in photos of the craft they have done from the books! It's especially exciting when it's from the new book. These button trees were made by 2 lovely boys in England. Love your work boys!

Daisy chain bracelet. Happy Birthday Unikko!

As a kid growing up in England, I spent a lot of time on the side of the rounders field making daisy chains. So meditative! Carefully splitting the stem of one daisy with a fingernail, and pushing the stem of another through until we had endless pretty chains of tiny white flowers. 

This sewing project shouldn't take you much longer to do. But if you're really in a hurry, I had a couple of teenagers who used a hot glue gun this morning and the results were just as lovely!

Did you know that Marimekko has just celebrated the 50th anniversary of their iconic design Unikko? So this little daisy is tiny nod to that too! Happy Birthday Unikko! 

Crufts gorgeous golden broach

This week we're in the UK, which is home of the famous Crufts Dog Show! We're missing our golden retriever Scout, so we've made a little golden retriever broach.

We're not sure if she'd win any obedience awards at Crufts but she's certainly the best dog in the world to us!

This broach can be made in any shape and with any pet. Just make 2 copies of the photo or picture and use one for the basic shape and one for the features.

Pronto passport pouch!

If you're anything like us you'll love the thrill of travelling but not the airport bits where you have to produce your documents from the depths of your bags whilst juggling kids, belts, shoes and iPads! If this sounds familiar then this project is going to make things a little easier.

We've used the brightest felt, so you'll always be able to find your passport in your bag...even after a long haul!

You only need a button, thread and felt, so it's super cheap too.

You could even add a ribbon to the top to hang round your neck...or make a larger one to fit the whole family's passports!

Bon voyage!
