Vistan Crafts

Crafts and miniatures lovingly hand made. Inspired by my incredibly creative grandparents, always with me, always remembered.

Oh…and my late night sewing buddy, my Mum of course.

We decided on lavender filled hanging hearts for teacher gifts this year. A floral display and Kingfisher scene.

05/04/2024

Created for one of my daughter’s teachers who was leaving at Easter. A spring colour palette lavender filled heart.

Back with an update… my world book day collaboration with little Miss. Based on the picture book, Ella’s Night Lights by Lucy Fleming, where a little moth girl shares night lights to all who need light.

We created these with an old pillow case and for the first time, we gave a watercolour background a go. Really chuffed with how they turned out. I think I want some! 😊

My needles and embroidery thread have been in hibernation whilst we’re having building work completed, but we had to pull them out for some teachers gifts. This year little Miss opted for a pen case.

Made myself a little brooch as a nod to a truly magnificent Scotsman. Always remembered.

Our first attempt at a little fox. Not completely happy with my pattern yet - I think it needs to be a bit more ’pointy’, if that’s the right way to put it. Happy with our first attempt and some excellent stuffing from my partner in crime.

Working on a little something simple for my big girl to make.
