Last week I did some dyeing on jersey for a change, and decided to create a less blended and more 'frilly' pattern than usual. Not the best pics as today it is dull and overcast and my husband broke the iron last week but here they are anyway. The colours are far deeper and fresher in real life, especially the first which is really aqua and mint! My camera does not like green!<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Ly2UbD9ImRY/Tqk7Bc3i7RI/AAAAAAAAAes/o-JBPeN7Wzc/s1600/IMG_1384.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Ly2UbD9ImRY/Tqk7Bc3i7RI/AAAAAAAAAes/o-JBPeN7Wzc/s320/IMG_1384.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5668126502137556242" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Mh5AHtsfZ8E/Tqk7NgtEr6I/AAAAAAAAAe4/wDi6cemK068/s1600/IMG_1385.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Mh5AHtsfZ8E/Tqk7NgtEr6I/AAAAAAAAAe4/wDi6cemK068/s320/IMG_1385.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5668126709325803426" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Fk1EfFg7_eo/Tqk7gGtHnAI/AAAAAAAAAfQ/AeLOgBw4Ifo/s1600/IMG_1387.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Fk1EfFg7_eo/Tqk7gGtHnAI/AAAAAAAAAfQ/AeLOgBw4Ifo/s320/IMG_1387.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5668127028764187650" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-MZSimRNwXeQ/Tqk7f9JtLzI/AAAAAAAAAfE/Swd1ti8mOoE/s1600/IMG_1386.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-MZSimRNwXeQ/Tqk7f9JtLzI/AAAAAAAAAfE/Swd1ti8mOoE/s320/IMG_1386.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5668127026199736114" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-QOyIJywOxJo/Tqk7u2Nj2jI/AAAAAAAAAfc/8-N1hdQWeFU/s1600/IMG_1388.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-QOyIJywOxJo/Tqk7u2Nj2jI/AAAAAAAAAfc/8-N1hdQWeFU/s320/IMG_1388.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5668127282034891314" /></a><br />Next week I'm doing some more, I'm aiming for darker and more gothic colours.Heavenly Anarchisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07762741582565995661noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6983577572339453124.post-37842244130819260812011-10-25T20:04:00.005+01:002011-10-25T20:12:34.532+01:00CNA Cybercraft - BakingAs well as sewing and knitting, the mums on Cloth Nappy Addicts do like to bake. So we're baking most days during this week's cybercraft.<br /><br />Yesterday we did family biscuit baking with Helen. We're going to swap some of these chinese orange blossom biscuits with other children :)<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-v5PKBpu8iDc/TqcI3hruQPI/AAAAAAAAAeI/r1q8ooR1P1c/s1600/IMG_1379.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-v5PKBpu8iDc/TqcI3hruQPI/AAAAAAAAAeI/r1q8ooR1P1c/s320/IMG_1379.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5667508406096642290" /></a><br />Today I baked a delicious chocolate cake under Kate's guidance. This rather indulgent cake has a chocolate and whipped cream centre and chocolate and butter icing, and is topped with slivers of dark chocolate. This is my first ever big cake as usually I make buns!<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-W951P4Fj3jA/TqcJuUtd6dI/AAAAAAAAAeg/yeolIBYhkfk/s1600/IMG_1380.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-W951P4Fj3jA/TqcJuUtd6dI/AAAAAAAAAeg/yeolIBYhkfk/s320/IMG_1380.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5667509347507104210" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jKpA2VOyb2I/TqcJuG4XlpI/AAAAAAAAAeU/1J1vVts8X7g/s1600/IMG_1381.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jKpA2VOyb2I/TqcJuG4XlpI/AAAAAAAAAeU/1J1vVts8X7g/s320/IMG_1381.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5667509343794730642" /></a><br />We're having great fun :)Heavenly Anarchisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07762741582565995661noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6983577572339453124.post-91380825954510746042011-10-24T08:49:00.007+01:002011-10-24T09:22:26.079+01:00CNA CYCBERCRAFT tutorialWe're having a family cybercraft on CNA this week and I thought I'd do a simple tutorial for making a scarf from an old tee shirt.

You could cut through one side so it can be wrapped. You might spiral a cut up the tee to give a long winding length or tie ribbons onto the cuts. Experiment with different widths and length of both tee shirt and cut strips.<br /><br />Experiment and have fun!Heavenly Anarchisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07762741582565995661noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6983577572339453124.post-50307831447209250762011-01-12T11:32:00.010+00:002011-01-12T15:09:24.182+00:00Cloth diary and notebook setWe had several Secret Santas on Cloth Nappy Addicts and I can never resist the urge to sew my pressies. I particularly enjoyed making this cloth covered diary and notebook set - the covers are removable so can be re-used and they can be stored in the matching pouch:<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZY49y-eRmKc/TS3BKtsJfVI/AAAAAAAAAaQ/y1yFZ9KIeI4/s1600/clothcovereddiarybag.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 205px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZY49y-eRmKc/TS3BKtsJfVI/AAAAAAAAAaQ/y1yFZ9KIeI4/s320/clothcovereddiarybag.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5561313504680050002" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ZY49y-eRmKc/TS3BYcYDYZI/AAAAAAAAAag/NIBpp8MppWI/s1600/clothcovereddiary.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 299px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ZY49y-eRmKc/TS3BYcYDYZI/AAAAAAAAAag/NIBpp8MppWI/s320/clothcovereddiary.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5561313740550529426" /></a><br />I've made a similar one before for a CNA craft swap, diary for mum and bag for a little girl:<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ZY49y-eRmKc/TS2San1DLvI/AAAAAAAAAaI/cB790XAqHcQ/s1600/cnacraftswapbagbook.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 302px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ZY49y-eRmKc/TS2San1DLvI/AAAAAAAAAaI/cB790XAqHcQ/s320/cnacraftswapbagbook.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5561262100938174194" /></a><br />And this is my favourite covered journal, sprayed with Colorwash and stamped with Jacquard Lumiere:<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZY49y-eRmKc/TS3CeerSHBI/AAAAAAAAAaw/JIjnTi9jKqw/s1600/designteamjulybook8.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 277px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZY49y-eRmKc/TS3CeerSHBI/AAAAAAAAAaw/JIjnTi9jKqw/s320/designteamjulybook8.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5561314943758900242" /></a><br />There's something very satifying about covered books, even my 6 year old realises this :) In his school Secret Room (a PTA event, children can purchase Christmas pressies for their loved ones at a pound a shot) he chose for me a sari covered journal and told me he chose it because I like fabric.

They are both variations of the same design but the colour schemes are very different. The first is a lovely delicate mix, not my usual style but one I'm definitely going to try again as it worked so well. The second quilt is a more neutral palette to suit the tastes of the recipients.<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZY49y-eRmKc/TRSh7PVIU4I/AAAAAAAAAZQ/j9dr7PNKZrc/s1600/delicatequilt1.JPG"><img style="display:block;

These are the lovely goodies I received:<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ZY49y-eRmKc/TRSgkA5-qdI/AAAAAAAAAYo/-C5FZHZ59xg/s1600/cnadecswap1.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 185px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ZY49y-eRmKc/TRSgkA5-qdI/AAAAAAAAAYo/-C5FZHZ59xg/s320/cnadecswap1.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5554240781033581010" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ZY49y-eRmKc/TRSgkWR5jRI/AAAAAAAAAYw/uozB6M4EcmQ/s1600/cnadecswap2.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 311px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ZY49y-eRmKc/TRSgkWR5jRI/AAAAAAAAAYw/uozB6M4EcmQ/s320/cnadecswap2.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5554240786771053842" /></a>Heavenly Anarchisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07762741582565995661noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6983577572339453124.post-26500607282775696672010-11-18T09:29:00.004+00:002010-11-18T09:39:31.571+00:00The Altered Element - Art metal reindeer decorations<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ZY49y-eRmKc/TOTzTXeNmRI/AAAAAAAAAX8/Qak2zRpekmA/s1600/silverreindeer1.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 298px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ZY49y-eRmKc/TOTzTXeNmRI/AAAAAAAAAX8/Qak2zRpekmA/s320/silverreindeer1.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5540820955616352530" /></a><br />Art metal is fabulous for making Christmas decorations for your tree, exquisate charms can be made quickly and with great effect.<br />Here I have taken some silver-coloured aluminium from The Altered Element, backed it with foam for stability (card would work too) and then die cut 2 reindeer in my Big Shot. Then they are run through again in a cuttlebug embossing folder. Using a hand punch, I fixed fancy embroidery thread to dangle them from a tree. Simple but effective.<br />If you wanted a more grungey look you could apply acrylic paint and wipe off again to age it but I prefer mine shiny :)<br />The Altered Element has a wide range of art metals suitable for this project.<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ZY49y-eRmKc/TOTzTXeNmRI/AAAAAAAAAX8/Qak2zRpekmA/s1600/silverreindeer1.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 298px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ZY49y-eRmKc/TOTzTXeNmRI/AAAAAAAAAX8/Qak2zRpekmA/s320/silverreindeer1.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5540820955616352530" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ZY49y-eRmKc/TOTzTr-Tl7I/AAAAAAAAAYE/5d9FpWAqbGM/s1600/silverreindeer2.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 168px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ZY49y-eRmKc/TOTzTr-Tl7I/AAAAAAAAAYE/5d9FpWAqbGM/s320/silverreindeer2.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5540820961119672242" /></a>Heavenly Anarchisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07762741582565995661noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6983577572339453124.post-49604305970556363532010-11-12T13:52:00.003+00:002010-11-12T14:02:23.133+00:00The Altered Element - Artchix Angels<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZY49y-eRmKc/TN1IcWcm8cI/AAAAAAAAAX0/koYBW3CcNM0/s1600/artchixangels.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 271px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZY49y-eRmKc/TN1IcWcm8cI/AAAAAAAAAX0/koYBW3CcNM0/s320/artchixangels.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5538662768634687938" /></a><br />Sometimes the prettiest of things can be quite simple to make. These Christmas Tree Angels are made from Artchix images, backed with patterned card for stability. The skirts are made from chiffon, a running stitch is used to gather the top which is then sandwiched between the image and another piece of card. The edges of the skirts were themn dipped in Decofix, and glass glitter applied to one, mother of pearl flakes to the other. Ties were created from metallic emboidery floss. This idea would also make a great angel for the top of the tree, or even table accessories.<br />All the commponents for these angels are available from The Altered Element, which also has lots more goodies suitable for your arty Christmas decorations.Heavenly Anarchisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07762741582565995661noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6983577572339453124.post-4085204586618777792010-10-04T10:32:00.001+01:002010-10-04T10:34:47.195+01:00OBV facial pads restocked<a href="http://d200fahol9mbkt.cloudfront.net/item/6128805/pastelobvfacepads.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 495px; height: 495px;" src="http://d200fahol9mbkt.cloudfront.net/item/6128805/pastelobvfacepads.JPG" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />I have just restocked the obv facial pads available in my Folksy store.
