About Pretty Unusual
Here I am a happy crafter, making unique, quirky gifts that you just won't find in the shops!
Pretty Unusual Description
Hi : ) I have set up this page so that I can show you the crafty work that I do - my first love are my wonderful cakeys that people take out and about taking pictures of. . . if you want to see where they have been or want to join in the fun, follow the link to the cakey website www. amillioncupcakes.net. I love to learn new skills, to experiment, to share how it went, and sometimes to sell what I make. Look out for my bracelets which have individually made beads - what a lovely unusual gift! If you like what you see please share - just to make me smile - and of course your comments and feedback is something I'd love. And of course, anything you want to ask, fire away. . . it's me sitting here and I will always get back to you as soon as I can. . . Thank You! mrs. pxx

... exciting news for cakey fans... one lucky pilgrim is soon heading orf to Peru... lucky, lucky cakey 🙂🙂🙂
Yesterday's shirt, today's bag 🙂 and I just know I'm going to be asking around for discarded shirts to make more 😮
Ewe, ewe and ewe...my first attempt at lino printing using my little sheep...not as tricky as I thought and just one blood injury 🙂🙂🙂
Fed up of plastic bags? Have a Magic bag instead! Made entirely from recycled material and offcuts, this pretty sloth bag folds up and pops closed so it can live in your handbag until you need it - that's why I think it's magic 🙂
As some of you know, I love a 'magic bag' - normally nylon and gets whipped out a handbag as an eco alternative to the plastic carrier bag... so, armed with some discarded fabric which I dyed, I have made my own version 🙂...the dangly bit has a popper on so that the magic bag can be rolled, popped and put back in your bag till next time... Magic 🙂🙂🙂 #prettyunusual #bags #recycle #handmade
A pretty hoop picture for that special person which I'm tempted to describe as 'mixed media'...which makes me smile 🙂 happy Monday x
Last night's project... Welsh themed card toppers 🙂
I don't expect that you want to see my first ever attempt at slipper socks(!!), so I'll show you this instead 🙂
Bunting! This Penblwydd Hapus bunting looks sooo much better in real life!!
Just thought I'd try hand sewing a snappy knicker liner 🙂 'Snappy' because it closes with pretty snap fasteners, and, the four layer core doesn't stop it folding neatly to pop in your bag🙂 #periodpoverty #prettyunusual #knickers #dry #pretty #practical #continence #periods
... Mixing it up...the one hour all bran cake has been a favourite here for a looong time, but when it was realised that it was all gone the shreddies were raided...and, err, yum! Glad I made three 🙂
Sneeze safely ladies with these washable knicker pads... 🙂
...love these 🙂...
Happy New Year from #prettyunusual... I can't believe it's over a fortnight since Christmas, or that this is the first post of 2019!🙂 I have just realise that I don't know how to get a new paragraph as there's an emoji in the way(!!!). I must just say a big thank you to the young lady from Barclays - I do hope she finds this page. She was fantastic. And just to let you know that my needles are not idle...daffodils are quietly appearing here. 🙂 #prettyunusual #barclaysbank
So far the only Christmas tree I have sorted out is the pretty brooch kind... 🙂
More gorgeous fabric equals more stockings of the non seasonal variety 🙂 #comics #daleks #prettyunusual
Sprouts!! 😂😂😂
We just loved this fabric so this stocking is a new favourite! Available with pink or purple top 🙂#prettyunusual
