Christmas Crafts

OK, I know it's not even Halloween yet, but my talented Mum has already started making lovely felt decorations to sell at craft fairs! She's working on loads more hair ornaments too!

Here are a couple of pictures to give a taster of things to come. They're just quickie mobile shots but I'll get some more images soon.

Carole and I are working on our Christmas card designs and Hazel is planning some surprises! 

N_ilk at the Botanics was great!

Had a lovely day at the Dundee Jamboree event at N_ilk. Met loads of very nice crafty people and sold quite a lot of things.

N_ilk at the botanics tomorrow

We've been getting all our work together for the Dundee Jamboree event at N_ilk at the Botanics tomorrow. We're all really looking forward to it!

We'll have plenty of cards, prints and little things like badges and hair ornaments on our stall. We've also got some lovely bags and hats.

Hope you can make it!

Getting Ready for the Botanic Gardens

We've been working hard on our handmade goodies for the Dundee Jamboree at the 'n_ilk at the botanics' event.


Eunice has been crocheting loads of flowery hair ornaments, brooches and hats. She's also been making some lovely lacy collars and chokers in cotton yarn. She's amazing - you name it she can crochet it!

Hazel's been making plant themed 'shrinkle' badges and we've been sewing some lovely bags.

Carole and I have been working on our prints, cards and badges and we'll have some new work from 'honorary sister' Lauren too. More pictures to follow.

Hope to see you all at the event!

Summer Projects

We've been busy this Summer. Here's a picture of Eunice Aitken, Lauren McCorkindale, Carole Japp and Hazel Aitken making things in my Mum Eunice's living room. I'm Janice Aitken and these are some of my friends and family.

Carole has been making some lovely card designs and small prints. You can see more of her work at http://carolejapp.blogspot.com/ She's also working on a range of ice lolly brooches.

I've been working on some cards and prints based on drawings of Scottish wildlife like bumble bees, butterflies and birds.

Mum's been crocheting sheep and making costumes for Laura Whyte who is making a stop frame animation called 'Nursery Crimes' (see http://www.tothesecretlab.co.uk/nursery-crimes/?m=201008 ) The film will be premiered at Duncan of Jordanstone during the Masters Show soon. She's been doing loads of crocheting and knitting of things to sell at craft fairs too.

 Hazel and I are also working on a range of patchwork and applique bags. Lauren's making lovely colourful jewellery. Pictures to follow.
