Christmas Crafts...

♥ Ceri makes...  led my very own mini craft lesson at RWF's abode in Fulham yesterday.  I created mini craft kits for RWF, Grace and Sophie to create their own handmade Christmas decorations.  Sophie and Grace busy crafting...

After some festive food we wrapped up and headed out to Carols by Candlelight at the Royal Albert Hall.

A perfect pre-Christmas weekend!

Making things at the make lounge...

♥ Ceri makes...  was lucky enough to be invited along to the make lounge in Islington to a stamp making workshop sponsored by snapfish.  Lots of fellow bloggers in attendance,  cupcakes galore and yummy champagne.  We set to work on our stamps under the careful guidance of the lovely zeena shah of heart zeena. 

I created a simple birds motif which looked lovely on envelopes and note paper...

Also a huge thanks to snapfish for a fun evening and the generous goody bag  ...I  look forwards to using my snapfish vouchers to print lots of pictures and maybe even a photo book!

Drink Shop Do...

♥ Ceri makes... made my first trip to Drink, Shop & Do on a lazy Sunday afternoon and can't believe I have been missing out on this lovely spot! A haven for lovers of all things vintage, crafty, foodie and arty!


I'm sure to be back soon to try out one of the craft events or even the Thursday night pin up hair, sounds ideal!

A crafty royal knees up...

♥ Ceri makes...  after a lovely day spent soaking up the royal wedding atmosphere in Hyde Park I headed to the V&A for a spot of crafty celebration!  As part of the Friday night lates that the museum hosts monthly they had jumped aboard the royal wedding excitement with a fantastic programme of events and had decorated the museum to suit the mood...

The fantastic programme of events included talks from leading vintage specialists William Banks-Blaney and Jane Bourvis,  a catwalk event judged by the designer Louise Gray among others,  cake from Lily Vanilli,  live music and a number of workshops  ...action packed!  I opted for the printed handkerchief workshop...

Such a simple crafty thing to make!  A beautiful range of stamps to choose from to create a very personalised memory for the day.  I decided to keep it simple and was super pleased with the finishing results...
