Crochet Hooks and Swans

I picked up a couple of craft magazines at the newsagent yesterday...

 

... the latest issue of docrafts Creativity magazine and a "bookazine" called Adorable Animals.

Regular readers may remember that I've done a few projects for Creativity over the past few months. For this month's issue I stitched a wrap for storing crochet hooks, which can easily be adapted for other tools:


You can spot my Adorable Animals project on the contents page...


... felt swan collar clips! If you're not a fan of the collar clip trend you could stitch one swan to be a brooch or attach the swans to a pair of hairclips.


The swans were soooo much fun to stitch. I adore anything bird-themed and making mini versions of anything is always such an interesting challenge!
