I take a lot of photographs of all sorts of things, including my makes, my students’ makes, crafty moments and details from everyday life, especially floral portraits, light and shadow, glorious colours and found patterns. To see more of my own and my students’ work, please visit my Pinterest page.
My son asked if I could make him a cover for his journal on a theme of brown. It’s finished and in place and I managed to include a couple of pieces of a jacket he used to have. #boroinspired #patchwork #patches #patchesofinstagram #practical #useful #brown #imadethis #mycraftylife #makesomething #makesmehappy #christinegreencrafts #craftingatthecottage #justkeepstitching

Enjoying hand stitching over the edges of my brown boro inspired panel. Using some rather ancient cotton found goodness knows where on a beautiful large wooden spool.

Wild and gloomy day outside so playing with some beautiful brown scraps, including a bit of a Toast shirt that I altered and hood from a jacket that my son wore when he was rather smaller.

I love word games especially Bananagrams. A dear like minded friend kindly lent me a set whilst in lockdown and we play a socially distanced version via Zoom. And when I’m on my own there’s always a solitaire version. Great fun and I love the tactile quality of the little tiles #wordgames #bananagrams #remotegaming #sociallydistancedgaming #socialdistancing #letters #tinytiles #fun #mentallychallenging #challengeme #christinegreencrafts #craftingatthecottage #wordswordswords #lovewords

Having a major blitz in the garage and discovered this montage/collage I made a good few years ago. The photo in it’s circular frame was hidden in the back of an old frame I got at a car boot sale, always wondered who she was and why she had to hide; ‘A Notre Mere’ came from the dump in a French cemetery; the pull tabs were collected from roads, paths, wherever I saw them, the curious filigree crescents and ribbon flowers are more car booty and the enamel numbers junk shop treasure #collage #pulltabs #circledesign #found #junk #junkmakesmehappy #imadethis #anotremere #frenchbits #carbootfinds #lovejunk #makesomething #photo #onemanstrashisanothermanstreasure #mysterylady #enamelnumbers #mycraftylife #christinegreencrafts #craftingatthecottage

A selection of subtle pale gray fabrics went in to this ball that my daughter made for a special little girl.

Thoroughly enjoying this Boro influenced patchworking, no piece of fabric too small! And my sturdy 1960’s Singer has been out since lockdown started and used every day #lovestitch #patchwork #workinprogress #vintagesinger #mytherapy #boro #inlockdown #christinegreencrafts #craftingatthecottage
Hubby’s favourite 501’s visibly patched and stitched using darker denim and beautiful white sashiko thread, a delight to use. #visiblemending #sashikostitching #runningstitch #denim #fixingthings #allstitchedup #denimrecycling #denimlove #501 #levis #levis501

Finished! On the @Rayburn website these things are called ‘chef’s pads’, and ours were looking somewhat worn. So I invested in some heat resistant wadding and got on with some more patchwork. Rather pleased with how they turned out #Rayburn #chefspads #patchwork #scrappypatchwork #improv #greens #kitchentextiles #machinestitching #finished #christinegreencrafts #craftingatthecottage #inthekitchen #domesticgoddess

Seeing double! I was delighted to find the matching 1960’s Singer to mine on EBay this week, which I bought for my daughter. (Mine is in the foreground.) Perfect gift and these oldies are great machines, they may only do straight stitch and some zig zag (I never use this option) but what more do you need????? #vintage #vintagesinger #stitchingtogether #familytime #lovesewing #motherdaughter #ebayfind #lockdowngift #christinegreencrafts #craftingatthecottage #madetolast #sturdybydesign
