K is for Keyrings

Everybody I know uses a keyring, they come in all shapes, sizes, colours and designs,big, small, soft, hard. I've made a few....

A pretty Fairy Door

 

And my favourite... The Scull

 

The scull is very versatile, it can be finished off as a brooch, a bookmark or zip pull.

Keyrings & Keyfobs for Handmade Monday

Hello all, I hope you have all had a good week, the time is passing by so quickly, hardly a blink of an eye and another week has passed.

I've made quite a few keyfobs in the past..... 

Keys for Grandad's Shed

A place for Daddy's keys

 

Chunky keyrings

 Keyrings for Daddy

 

Fabric keyfobs

Fabric Fobs that are great for more than keys.

These can be used for bag charms, for zip pulls on jackets or bags, pencil cases or lunch bags.

Fairy Door Fobs

and my latest ones are some little 'garden sheds' 

These have be handpainted onto wood and each one is different. I'm going to put these into my Folksy and WowThankYou shops with the option of personalising them.

I'm off to have a nosey at lots of other crafty people who have linked up with Handmade Harbour

A few Felt Critters

I've been away all week, spending a bit of quality time with my mum. It's been a great week and although I miss being with her it's nice to be back home, mum lives over 200 miles away and usually when I visit both me and my husband go by road, this time hubby was working so I went by train.

For the journey

It was a 5 hour journey and I was surprised at how quickly it went.

I was armed with magazines, a suduko book and a small sketch book which helped pass the time.

Oh yes, I had a few sweeties too.

Felt Critters

I took with me a bag of 'bit's to do' which consisted of a few bits of felt and needles and cotton, not forgetting that I was going by train and needed to carry everything. I cut out a few shapes and started making these little characters, I think they look a bit like my fridge magnets that you can see here

I'm planning to sew backs on them, add padding and a ribbon loop then these little fella's will probably become key fobs or zip pullers. 

At the end of the week my husband came to collect me so I didn't need to do the return journey by train. 
We arrived home on Saturday evening and on the Sunday we took part in the Eastern Region Ride of Respect  which is an annual charity ride to raise money and awareness for the Royal British Legion. It's a great ride but by gosh it was a cold day.

Wishing you all a happy week
