February 2018 – Our Creative Haven

So this week has been a big one for me!! I moved to London and started a new job!I am loving it so far and learning a shed load but I appear to have turned onto even more of an old lady than normal and am super tired! I’ve been coming in watching Rosemary and Thyme with a hot choc and a poached egg before going to bed super early! So in the words of my mother who described one of my previous blogs as I quote “a bit lame really” (!) this week’s blog isn’t of the highest standard!

But as I was sorting and packing last week, I had an “I wondered were that had gone” moment when I found my peg bag!It was one that cost I think around 50p in wilkos back in the day before I started uni. Plain and simple but not very me! So I decided to jazz it up a bit with some gorgeous coloured shell buttons! The perfect way to be money smart but still infuse your home with things that represent you… like buttons!!!

All my love,

God bless,

Happy Friday everyone! This week I have been up to my eyeballs in boxes packing ready for part one of my move on Saturday! With this said, I have also sadly not had a lot of time for making new crafts but whilst packing I discovered these lovely embroidery hoop wall hangings. Aren’t they lush! And super simple to make…

First up you’ll need some material, I just used some cotton, some buttons and thread and some embroidery hoops.

I then chose some words to make out of buttons. I used 1 Corinthians 13:13 as inspiration for mine. Sew them onto the fabric using an assortment of buttons.
