Paint Pots and Petals our craft business and us. WARNING will include some humour, some rambling and momentary flashes of brilliance. x. Wednesday, 29 August 2012. Honesty going well isn't it? I can't do it, it just isn't me, I have tried to write a few deadly honest blogs but that is the trouble, they are. I am nobody without my artistic license. So now I'm back, we visited Blackpool Tower and we had the best. Day we have ever. Had in our lives! We then headed down to this:. This one made me laugh.

Cream Teas and Crafternoons: August 2011
http://creamteasandcrafternoons.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Cream Teas and Crafternoons. Monday, 22 August 2011. Posts have been a little sparse recently. We had a lovely holiday in Cornwall, and this has been followed by a few days staying with family. A few photo highlights. I also got a bit of crafting done. I have been working on something I'm doing for myself (more in a later post) and P's "Charlotte dress". I have finally reached some more interesting knitting having completed a knit, knit, knit marathon. Are you having a nice summer? Thursday, 4 August 2011.

Cream Teas and Crafternoons. Saturday, 26 November 2011. Christmas Presents in the making. Life is very busy at the moment in the Crafternoon household! I guess with two littlies, life is never going to be quiet (and come on, let's be honest- who want's a quite life? I am doing a little tutoring, a little child minding, and in amongst all of that, trying to be organised with Christmas gifts! E has been doing some Christmas stamping to help make labels for the said jams, marmalades and chutneys.

Cream Teas and Crafternoons. Friday, 2 March 2012. Intarsia and Lent resolutions. Despite my lack of blogging of late, I have been busy crafting (and even busier with my two lovely little people! One new skill I've mastered over the past few weeks is Intarsia (knitting colour work using little bobbins). For my son's third birthday that is coming up at the end of this month (where did the time go? It totally bunched up! I'm so much happier with this result. Thanks Catherine for the advice!

Cream Teas and Crafternoons: May 2011
http://creamteasandcrafternoons.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Cream Teas and Crafternoons. Thursday, 26 May 2011. I have been trying to branch out in the baking department recently. Given that I have a lot less time on my hands with two littlies, baking is somehow easier to get round to than sewing and knitting (and has more instant results. OK, and is also rather delicious for my rather increased breastfeeding appetite! I'd tried these biscuits before, but made them again with a friend yesterday, and they are absolutely amazing. But there is a blog post here.

Cream Teas and Crafternoons: Poppy for Poppy
http://creamteasandcrafternoons.blogspot.com/2011/11/poppy-for-poppy.html
Cream Teas and Crafternoons. Sunday, 6 November 2011. With Remembrance day approaching, I, as is usually customary, bought a poppy. This did not last long, as my seven month old daughter grabbed it, dribbled on it and tried to chew it. As I arrived at church this morning, I saw these lovely hand crocheted wire and button poppies being sold. It fastens on with a catch, and is reusable. The money goes to charity- half to the British Legion, and half to ingotec. The company behind the Dragonfly Co-operative.
