Monthly craft update...

Have had a busy February, so didn't have much spare time so.......

.......for my Christmas challenge that gina (MRS TSV) on do-crafts site, I altered just over a dozen notebooks for presents.... it's a great way of using odd bits of paper up.... I put elastic round them using my Big Bite that I had for Christmas....

and for CC challenge of 'using something old up'.... well did a different type of 'using something old up' this month, as I dug out some crochet hooks, wool, crochet cotton and a book 'learn to crochet' that I've had for years...

... had kept meaning to ask my nan to teach me to crochet as she's made some lovely items over the years, from blankets to place mats.... but like most things, I always was too busy and it was always, oh I'll do it tomorrow, but tomorrow never seemed to come and she pass several years ago.....

well over on do-crafts some of the girls had started talking about crocheting and started with making crochet hearts and flowers....a lot of them have never crocheted before, and that got me to think of how I'd always wanted to learn, then remembered about my stash upstairs in a draw and went and dug it out....

so here is my efforts at crochet hearts in red wool and beige crochet cotton....am hoping to have a go at the flowers soon, as now I've started would like to keep it up and hopefully when I feel confident enough would like to teach my great niece's, so keep an old craft going.....
