a pip and a peach: Dolly Quilt Tutorial
http://apipandapeach.blogspot.com/2012/07/dolly-quilt-tutorial.html
A pip and a peach. Tuesday, 3 July 2012. I made a New Year's resolution to myself to try and make more birthday presents this year. I am not doing too badly, which is partly why I haven't managed to blog very much. For Margot and Kate - both recently 3 years old, I made dolly blankets. For Margot I crocheted a granny square blanket and made a small patchwork quilt and pillow. See Pip's blog for how to make a Granny Square. Then I made this mini patchwork quilt. 20 mixed 3.5" squares. Thread, scissors etc.

a pip and a peach: July 2012
http://apipandapeach.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
A pip and a peach. Sunday, 15 July 2012. When I was little I used to make these all the time but I had forgotten about them until the other day. The boys really enjoyed finding the best leaves for the job and watching them float or sink. It's so easy to do. You need: 1 cork, 1 sharp knife, 1 cocktail stick, 1 penny and a leaf or piece of paper. Just cut the cork in half. Make a slit down it's curved edge to hold the ballast (penny) and a tiny slit on the flat edge to put the cocktail stick in. The croche...

a pip and a peach: June 2011
http://apipandapeach.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
A pip and a peach. Thursday, 23 June 2011. I have lots of lovely sewing, crochet and crafty books on my shelves. I was about to list my favourites when I realised that before you can review a craft book, you really should have made something from it. So the first two books I am going to review are by Pip Lincolne because I have made things from those and they also happen to be two of my favourites. Meet me at Mike’s. 8211; by Pip Lincolne. Cutest ever baby knickers. Teeny tiny goody two shoes. I also did...

a pip and a peach: August 2011
http://apipandapeach.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
A pip and a peach. Tuesday, 16 August 2011. Story stones from Red Bird Crafts. I finally got to make some decorated stones with Gabe today.it was great fun. Makes a nice change from colouring and stickers and less messy than painting (honestly! I did the cutting, he did the gluing and placed some of the fabric, he also decided what we were making. I think little girls could especially get into this! The site that the idea and the instructions came from is here. Happy rainy August days! Alex - Some beauti...

a pip and a peach: Deck Chair Do Up
http://apipandapeach.blogspot.com/2012/08/deck-chair-do-up.html
A pip and a peach. Wednesday, 29 August 2012. Deck Chair Do Up. Picked up this beaut at the dump for five quid.Needed a clean up, some Briwax and some funky Ikea fabric to replace the original, saggy, dirty fabric. Not too shabby, if I say so myself! Although, perhaps I could have spent a little longer at the ironing board (bored! Nothing that won't stretch out with a little wear! Wednesday, August 29, 2012. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

a pip and a peach: Rocking again this summer...
http://apipandapeach.blogspot.com/2012/09/rocking-again-this-summer.html
A pip and a peach. Sunday, 2 September 2012. Rocking again this summer. Nope, I didn't manage a single festival this year but I did find some pretty cool rocks and stones this summer. That's Zac and I at Burgh Island picking out some lovely flat slatey stones. I have also found some fantastic pens which have opened up another world of rock related crafts to me! I could barely contain my excitement about these pens and having been telling everyone I meet about them. Other ideas for these brilliant pens.
