Crafts can be challenging, particularly when there are children involved. While power tools may come into play, they don’t have to most of the time. The following are a few crafts that won’t break the bank or cause any visits to the emergency room.

In my local library they have a display cabinet that they let local crafts people display their crafts. I have displayed my cards in there a few times and was delighted when they called me last week to say the cabinet was empty and would I like to display my cards again.

I blame the Christmas tree for a sudden flurry of craftiness this month. Having to totally rethink my lounge, which is also the dining room and my office space, to fit the tree in meant a good clear out. Stuff got moved from the lounge to the ‘sort it one day’ cupboard. Which in turn meant a few boxes of stuff went to the garage. This lead to a rummage in the garage which turned up a lovely piece of purple velvet I had long forgotten about and an old picture frame that I had broken the glass in ages ago. By cheer spooky coincidence I was having a read over at Red Ted Art about drying orange slices and I spotted an article about making a fabric notice board. One old telly tubbies towel, several stables and a bits of ribbon later, I created my master piece that is perfect for my office corner of the lounge.
