Dress up your egg!

I've been busy with the knitting needles!  

I've created Ninja-style egg cosies...

 ...Ski-mask cosies...

 ...frilly fried egg cosies...

 ...and warm winter wraps...

...all to dress up a boiled egg!

My Valentine Bunting

Tatty Rag Horseshoe

I've been making more tatty rag hearts and I wanted to try something a little bit different so I went for a horseshoe.

Made with four different materials in a pink colourway : 

plain white, plain pink, pink gingham and pink floral. 

It is finished with pink satin ribbon bows and hanger and a 'Handmade by Tamara Jayne' heart tag. 

White Love Bunting

This bunting is made using white handmade paper.  

I love the texture of the paper and the way it won't be cut neatly!

  

The letters are also cut from the same paper and all edges are smudged with dusky pink ink. 

The buttons on the outer flags are vintage pale pink. 

The string is white craft thread finished with a clear bead and pink and white gingham ribbon knot. 

 I made this for the City Crafter Challenge Blog 38

Little Flags

I made these stiff flags from sturdy card and gingham print craft papers.  The flag pole is a food-safe wooden stick which makes them great for sticking in cakes.  

Or how about writing a name on the flag and sticking it out of the top of a Christmas stocking?

Merry Christmas

More sewn fabric gift tags.  

These are made with fabrics I've used previously and the ribbon is printed with 'x Merry Christmas x'

I love the spotty green material with the small floral print, and the pink gingham fabric and ribbon are wonderful.

Little Mitten Decorations

I've made some little mitten decorations from sturdy card and printed craft papers.  

The edges are ink-smudged in silver on the maroon mittens 

and dull gold on the pink and green mittens.

I punched a star-shaped hole to thread thick craft string through for a hanger and tied a pink ribbon knot around it.

Tatty Fabric Heart

This tatty rag heart measures approx 12cm x 12cm. 

Made with four different materials in a pink and green colourway - two floral, one gingham, one spotty - it is finished with a pink gingham bow and hanger and 'Handmade by Tamara Jayne' heart tag. 

Christmas Bunting

A couple more buntings of JOY!

These are smaller than the other Christmas bunting I've shown but that seems to make them all the more lovely.

I have used my vintage-look red gingham paper on the outer flags and a couple of other prints on the JOY flags.  The letters are ink-smudged or outlined with golds.

Then the flags are threaded on to brown crafting string and finished with a bead and loop at each end for hanging, and a simple knot of red gingham ribbon.

Christmas Bunting

More of my bunting!
This one has 'Christmas' in pale green shimmery letters across it and the end flags in red gingham print have a heart-shaped dark green button on them.
The string is finished in a loop at each end and a tiny gold jingle bell.
