Over Christmas Lucy and I nipped over to the Equally Lovely Denise’s and the Ever Patient Ken’s for a festive meal, but I just could not help looking at and admiring all of Denise’s lovely Christmas creations ….. and asked if she wouldn’t mind being my guest crafter for today
Have you ever seen anything as lovely as these crocheted baubles? I was so jealous when I saw them, and decided there and then that I really MUST learn to crochet sometime this year. They are just sooooo beautiful, in fact too beautiful!!!
The wool and pattern both come from Planet Penny:-http://planetpenny.co.uk/2013/11/07/crochet-christmas-baubles/

And then sitting on the mantelpiece were the Advent Drawers Denise had made for Ken. Denise has become quite an expert on her Silhouette Portrait, again putting me to shame. The drawers were made using downloaded files from Silhouette and then Denise used the print and cut feature on her machine for all the patterns, another process I have yet to master, after goodness knows how many years, perhaps 2014 will be that year!
And finally, a bit of Decopatch …… gorgeous!
It’s so brilliant to have another person in the family to bounce off ideas with and who is as daft and as enthusiastic about new stuff as me ….. I also have a spooky feeling that The Equally Lovely Denise is going to become a very regular guest crafter during 2014 and beyond!
