My May Crafting Update: Exciting Plans in the Works!

Hey everyone! Fran here, and I’m so excited to share what I’ve been up to in my crafting world this May. As you know, I love creating and sharing my projects with you all, and this month is no exception. I’ve even been sharing some of my stock with my daughter, which is wonderful!

April Crafting Review

April was a busy month filled with some fun and creative projects! I shared a video on making ruffles, which I hope you all enjoyed. I also created a charming advent calendar tree ornament, perfect for adding a touch of handmade to your holiday decor. For Easter, I put together some festive table decor, and I even ventured into art doll territory with a fun rooster project. I was also inspired by the “sculpted art dolls” group and the incredible work of Serge.

Exciting Crafting Plans for May

I’ve got some really fun things in the pipeline for May that I can’t wait to reveal. I’m always looking for ways to add a personal touch to my home, and I’ve been inspired by artisan crafts that tell a story. This month, I’m planning to get creative with recycling lamp shades, which I think will be a really interesting challenge. I’m also hoping to replicate a cute mouse door stop I saw, and if I have time, I’d love to try my hand at making a fish pillow and a parrot pattern.

Stay Tuned!

I’m so excited about what’s to come, and I can’t wait to share the journey with you all. Make sure to subscribe to my channel, Fran’s Friends, for all the latest updates and behind-the-scenes peeks. Let’s get creative together! Do you have any other requests?

I’m a self-taught crafter with a passion for turning imagination into reality. After retiring from a rewarding career as a nurse, I traded my scrubs for scissors and have been happily sewing up a storm ever since.

I love sharing my journey into the wonderful world of crafting on my blog. Here, you’ll find everything from the project ideas that spark my creativity to the techniques and resources that bring them to life. Whether I’m creating whimsical art dolls, cozy home decor, or magical Christmas ornaments, my goal is to inspire you to find joy in making things with your own hands.
