Rule Britannia! Britannia rules the waves...

I used to be somewhat addicted to buying magazines. It got to a point where

I was buying up to 4 mags a week. They were totally unnecessary but to be

fair they did help to beat my "mid-week blues" at College. But the

only mag that I ever actually read every page of was Company

and now it's the only magazine I ever buy!

Plus some of you may remember I blogged about Company back in January

If you've never read it I really suggest you do, it has everything from

Fashion to Homes, Real Life to Crafts...

Plus it occasionally has it's fair share of Georgey Lamb ;-)

The October issue was "The British Issue" and it really inspired

me to get making all things Britannia!

Knitted Jubilee Brooch

Union Jack and Vintage Stamp Brooch

Union Jack Felt Owl Keyring (which really didn't want to be photographed!)

Right then, I'm off down the shops to get this months Company Mag!

Let me know what you think of my latest makes :-)

Teddy Bear's Picnic...

On Tuesday I had a job interview for Hobbycraft, so after that my Mom thought I deserved a bit of retail therapy so we went shopping around Stafford. On the window of a charity shop I noticed a 1950's wicker picnic hamper complete with original china plates for a bargain-ious £4.99, therefore I had to have it! I'd been after one for a while to display things in on the stall. 

 

All the sunshine and picnic talk has inspired me to create this 3d felt cupcake :-)

I think I'll make some more with sprinkles on the top!!

Hope everyone is enjoying the sunshine as much as Ted!

Let me know what you think of my latest make :-)
