Ideas For Spring tea

my mix matched tea cups!

A great Idea for a spring get together would have to be a tea party! With all the snow melting, the grass coming back and life returning in general! its a good time to sit back, relax with some friends and enjoy the weather before it becomes too warm.

If you like, try to make a mix matched tea set! Its a great way to show off all the different patterns and styles and lets your guests find a tea cup that suits them!

recent crafting

Recently I've really been into knitting! socks, mitts, hats, they make really good gifts or just fun projects to work on slowly. What I'm making at the moment is known an Norwegian mitts, traditionally black and white but any colour combo would look cute! There a bit tricky though so i wouldn't recommend them for a beginner, but for anyone who has worked with different colours before they should be easy!

They make a good addition to any mori style or winter wardrobe!

As you can see I'm not quite done but should be soon! You can find free patterns for mitts like these on Ravelry or from your local yarn store!

Sew diffrerent!

Remember the button? that cute little round thing with the holes? i know you see a lot of zippers around these days, especially on punk clothing but buttons can be cool too! But Sometimes just sewing them on the normal way is boring, so heres an idea to spice up sewing and add some detail and personalization to whatever your making! I've even seen buttons shaped like cupcakes! and they don't have to be expensive either, you can buy a bag of assorted buttons for somewhere between 1-5 dollars and you get like 100 buttons of all sorts of shapes and sizes.

making shapes like this only really works with buttons that have 4 holes though, but as you can see you can make shapes while still sewing through all 4 holes of the button! and you can make different shapes if you turn the button, like and X becomes a +, You can even do arrows and the letter Z.



I think this would be an adorable way to spice up a bag or a t-shirt and even cover small holes along a seam line or in a corner or just sew on like a normal button. its up to you to decide!
