Autumn craft projects

I'm such a Pinterest junkie. Honestly, I think I need to go to some sort of support meetings, I just love it way too much. One of my favourites of my boards is simply titled "Things I must make" and seeing as today is the start of November I thought it was a great time to share some of the projects I hope to manage over the next few cold months.

This falling leaves garland is so beautifully autumnal, I really want to make one to go up my stairs.

I love elbow patches, and these sequinned ones are suitably glamorous.

The idea for this jumper is so simple - just cut a slit down one shoulder and stitch some lovely heavy velvet ribbon in place.

Finally, I think I'm going to make this (or something very similar) my new packaging for my jewellery line. Wouldn't it be gorgeous to receive a new bracelet or necklace in an envelope like this?

What are your craft plans now the nights are drawing in?

Opinions needed

I have a beautiful, really delicate vintage filigree brooch in the shape of a butterfly. The trouble is, I can't decide whether to make it into a necklace or a bracelet. What do you guys think? (Sorry about the blurry photo - that's what happend when I only have my phone, not the proper camera):

A wet Wednesday watercolour project to try

I'm actually going to the theatre tonight, so it's more likely to be a soggy Thursday project, but I couldn't resist the alliteration! I fell in love instantly with this dip dyed watercolour stationary project from Paper & Stitch - definitely one for me to have a go at! I have card, but I also have little craft envelopes and TAGS (brilliant!) that would look amazing with this done.

Win a bracelet!

It's competition time! Would you like to win a one of a kind bracelet made from a vintage brooch, chunky amazonite nuggets, rock crystal, pretty pink Peruvian opal and Swarovski crystals? One that fastens with a cute heart-shaped toggle clasp? I thought so! Just to whet your appetite a bit more, here's a couple of pictures: Because it's nearly Valentine's Day I thought I'd have a bit of a soppy theme. So, to win all you have to do is follow me on Twitter here (if you're not already a follower, if you are you can get retweeting right away) and RT any of my tweets that mention the words "Valentine's", "love", "romance" or "romantic". For each RT you will be entered into the draw (no more than one an hour, though!). For two bonus entries, just blog about Made With Love or this competition. The competition runs until midnight on February 9th and I will be announcing the winner then via this blog. Good luck!
