About Me

My photo
Manchester, Greater Manchester, United Kingdom
I never thought I would get into blogging, but I thought I would give it a go. Crackers Boutique has been a plan for a while, the business is ran by my mum (Lorraine) and I. We have always been sewing together since I was young, however its only in the past 5 years or so that we have picked it back up into scale and we have made a number of quilts. My first Niece , mums first Grandchild Olivia came along 4 years ago and we have made a number of items for her over the years and this is what has inspired this company. I have always been a bit "crafty" as I like to call myself. My true love has always been stationary and fabric. So when I got into card making and quilting it felt like everything all fell into place and I became addicted to crafting. Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy my blog. Please feel free to follow me.

Yarn Wreaths

Good Morning, 

What a miserable day it is here in Manchester but such a good day to do some crafts. 

Recently I have been trying a few different crafts, but I have seen these wreaths on Pinterest and I just had to try it. The photos really dont do the wreath as much justice as it is in person, they are really pretty and definitely will be selling these in the Emerge Pop-up shop (https://www.facebook.com/emergerecyclingpopupshop)  which I am hoping to have my goods on display in as of next week. 


The flowers are made out of Felt, I love making items out of felt, it is so easy to work with and I love the soft effect it adds to a project.


Please feel free to leave a comment.
