Making slushies without a machine.

 Not really sure if this is classed as a craft but here goes anyway. 

I have no room in my kitchen for a Slush Puppie machine, I have way too much baking stuff so I don't even have somewhere to store it when not in use either. I do love a slushy on a hot day so I needed an alternative. Slush Puppy brought out pre filled pouches that you could just buy, put in your freezer, smash it up a bit and there you have a slushy. With these they are very limited to the flavours you can get. I liked the idea so I wanted to try and make my own the same way using reusable drinks pouches. It worked so that's how I made my slushies at home. 

Knitting hats for winter already.

 Knitting is another craft I have tried my hand at and at the moment I can only cast on/off and know the basic knit/purl stitches. That's enough for me to have been able to make basic scarfs, socks and hats.

I find the hats really relaxing to make as you don't have to think about it too much. At the end of last year I knitted myself a hat inspired by Rainbow Road from Mari Kart. I added some cross stitch elements to it as I have now idea how to do knitted patterns in hats but I quite like how it turned out. The cross stitch looks quite good with the knitting I think.

Disney Crochet Kit

 Before starting this kit I could do the basics of crochet, chain, single & double crochet and that is it. I could make a simple granny square and crochet pop tabs together but never tried anything like making teddies or plushies. I learn best by studying the way something looks and working out how to make it or from visually seeing something being made that's why I've never tries to follow a written pattern before. I thought I would find it too confusing so let's see how I got on with this kit.

Intro to me and my blog!

 Hi! I'm Kelly, a crafter and artist.

I have been making things since I can remember. I have tried my hand at quite a few different crafts and I'm always looking for new things to try.

I also make art though I don't always of the confidence to show my artwork but I can't be that bad as I have sold quite a few paintings and whenever someone comes back and orders a second or third that is a welcomed confidence boost but like most artists and crafters I am my own worst critic. 

Just as a hobby I started a crafting YouTube channel where I would put up crafting tutorials. It's been there for quite a few years and though it doesn't have many subscribers (just under 14k as I am writing this) its something I enjoy going for fun and gives me another outlet for my craftiness.

So this blog is just going to follow my crafty life. I will be showing my makes, trying out art kits and I may even add the odd tutorial on here. 

Hope you enjoy it.

Happy Crafting!
