You remember we said we were taking part in the Innocent Big Knit... well we've finally finished and sent our contribution!

... and The Innocent Big Knit

Today we thought we'd share a bit about The Innocent Big Knit, which are planning to get involved with. The idea is to knit mini hats to fit onto Innocent drinks bottles to raise money for Age UK.

Hello! Here's our regular feature where we share tips, tools & techniques that have caught our eye, things we have Pinned, and things we have tried. These are probably not going to change your life(!) but might make it a bit easier...

Happy Easter!! As part of a Recovery Arts event, we held an Easter Egg decorating session. Here's how it went:

... and Fabric Scrap PomPoms for a Wedding

Today we have a guest post by Emma from EmmaMade on how to make fabric pompoms. A big thanks to Emma for such a great post and for sharing how she made these lovely pompoms. We can't wait to see how these become part of the centre pieces for her wedding! After our previous pompom making, we're definitely going to have to make some of these fabric versions ourselves.

I'm Emma and I have recently started a blog called EmmaMade to help me share my craft projects.  I am so excited as this is my first ever guest post so thank you to Simi and Sian for having me.

... and some Pretty Pins

We've been making lots of gifts lately - so this post is a bit of a change from that! I have been working in my craft room and realised I needed more coordinated items (actually we're meant to be starting on our Christmas stock to sell and I'm procrastinating!!!) So here are a selection of different types of Pretty Pins!

... and a PomPom Festival!

Recently we read about the PomPom Blossom Festival in Making magazine, and we just had to put our names down and take part!! For the month of June, Balfron (in Scotland) is going to be turned into an open air installation with hundreds of PomPoms hanging from the trees. Each will have a label attached with the maker's name and a word chosen by each maker.
