It’s just seven days until the Big Comic Relief Crafternoon on Friday 13th March – well, six days until I host mine because it’s my birthday on Friday and I will be otherwise engaged:)
If you saw my earlier post about the samples I have been making from the official Red Nose Day magazine, you will remember that I’ve been giving a number of the free patterns a test run, so to speak, to see which projects can be made in the three hours of my Crafternoon event. I will then set up individual areas with all the materials needed for each project, together with the instruction sheets, for everyone attending to help themselves to.
If you haven’t got your magazine yet, they are only available to buy in Sainsburys, nowhere else, and they are being snapped up extremely quickly so get a move on!
£5.00 out of the cover price of £7.99 goes straight to Comic Relief which is fantastic. Comic Relief get your donation and you get something for your money – a fab “Mollie Makes” Red Nose Day Special magazine with a load of fab projects for you to make.
So, onto the latest additions to the party!
Well, I had to crochet the red nose, didn’t I?
I loved making this Cloud Mobile – all hand stitched in less than three hours!
I think this is my favourite make though…..
….a Pear Pin Cushion!
And when Ali (AKA Thimberlina) revealed her makeshift excuse for a pin cushion (sorry Ali!), I had the perfect reason to make the matching Apple shaped one. I snapped a couple of quick photos and sent it off that same afternoon.
I love the attention to detail that has gone into this particular design, especially the two pieces of contrasting felt rolled together to make the stem. Although this part was completely omitted from the instructions, it was easy enough to work out how it was done.
Ali has very generously sent me a bundle of supplies for my Crafternoon so it was lovely to be able to make her a little something off her wish list as a thank you. Just look at everything she donated!
I still have room for a few more, so if you’re free next Thursday 12th March between 12pm and 3pm, please, PLEASE try to come along. I’d love to get a full house so that I can send off the maximum amount of money to Comic Relief.
I’m also thinking of either auctioning off all the bits I’ve made, or raffle them on the day so bring an extra couple of pounds – it’s for such a good cause!!
Here’s a reminder of all the details: –

WOW!! They are all so precious. I adore the cloud hanging and the pear pin cushion. You are doing such a good job. I so wish I could join you and everyone. An afternoon of crafting sounds like such fun. Especially with the proceeds going to such a worthy cause. Take plenty of pics so I can see all the fun everyone will be having.

They’re a little less pointless than the ones I made in the previous post – I’m keeping the mobile to give to a new baby in September. I’m going to be a Granny, but don’t tell anyone!!!

That’s true 🙂 Oh wow, congratulations, you must be so excited!! I am often told it’s better than having your own babies because you can hand them back 😀 OK I won’t tell a soul, it’ll be our little secret 😉 Oh that baby will have so many beautiful handmade gifts!
