Two Angels - angels & petals AND crafty angel

Talking of Upcycling (see last post), Kate Hamilton-Hunter is a huge fan. This gorgeous floral necklace is just one of her designs created from vintage biscuit tins. Matching earring for this necklace, and much more jewellery from K H-H are available in Angels & Petals from 6th February.

This has been my latest WIP (work in progress). I was itching to make a Signs of Spring, crocheted something, and I decided on a cushion,this time. I used Stylecraft DK and backed it by felting a woollen jumper. The using of one item to make another is called Upcycling. Very trendy right now. so, what are you waiting for? Isn't it time to rush down to Crafty Angel and get started???

Thought I'd show you the throw I made my sister. She said it made her think of a midnight sky with sparkling stars.
I'm keen now to start a summery shades one, to cover my knees on chilly evening in the garden, (assuming we get any summer at all).
The new Kontiki cotton should arrive next week, with lots of gorgeous pastel & brights to choose from.

A completed piece!

Just look at this gorgeous little Union Jack cushion.
Ever wondered about what to get the man in your life????

Just a taster of the lovely things to come!

Angels & Petals and Crafty Angel are 2 shops within one building in the very pretty ancient market town of Hatherleigh in the heart of Devon. These 2 shops offer a range of beautiful gifts & jewellery alongside yarns and craft supplies. Customers can either choose to buy a beautiful ready made gift or realise their creative side and make something equally lovely.

Keeping touch......

I thought it might be a nice idea to keep in touch with what is happening in the shops through a Blog. Here I can let you know about new stock that's arrived (always exciting), workshops we're holding, Knit & Natter and all the other bits I'd like to share with you.
