Knit a Campervan Egg Cosy for Easter

I was feeling a bit brave and thought I'd have a go at creating a campervan knitting pattern.  The result was this Egg Cosy which I thought would make a great gift idea for a campervan lover at Easter.  It only takes oddments of yarn so you could make yourself a dozen in different colours.  Just think how many chocolate eggs you could justify buying and of course you can still use the cover after Easter!

If you would like to have a go, the PDF version of the pattern is available on Esty and Folksy priced at £1.75.  Hope you like it.

Campervan Cookies

On one of my regular trawls through the internet I came across these fantastic cookies made by The Campervan Cookie Co. based in Sheffield, Yorkshire.  I just had to share them with you!
What a great idea for a wedding gift or favour too.  Or maybe a little treat for your customers if you have one of the campervan hire businesses....
They have all kinds of other cool cookies too so go and have a look :)

Enjoy!

Valentines Day on Folksy

As it's Valentines Day I thought I'd treat myself to a browse on Folksy to see what scrumptious goodies are on show in the way of pink and red campervans and caravans.  Of course there is always such a delectable choice but here are some of my favourites.  Enjoy :)

Festival Blanket with a Hood - perfect for camping!

You know how it is with the good old British Weather - one minute bright blue skies and the next thrashing rain.  It makes camping and picnics interesting! 

We found some blankets in fantastic colours with soft fleece on the inside and a waterproof outer coating as well as a hood. 

You can wrap them around you like a cape - perfect for sitting out on those chilly camping evenings, you can put the hood up and keep the rain out or you can just spread them flat and use them like a picnic blanket. Great if you've got kids too especially on those beach trips when they stay in the sea so long they come out blue and shivering - just dry them off then wrap them in one of these - perfect! 

Festivals, camping, picnics or just sitting in the garden, we love them and we hope you do too!

Available on our website at £19.95 each http://www.snuginadub.co.uk/Hooded_Festival_Blanket.html

Cushions - Splitscreens, Bays and T25s

I've heard a few people say that there is never anything for the Volkswagen T25 so I thought I'd have a go at making an appliqued cushion.  So now we have Splitties, Bays AND T25s all based on those iconic VW campervans we love so much!

The cushions are £19.99 and all are available to order in your choice of colour on a background of soft fleece. You can view them on our website: http://www.snuginadub.co.uk/Campervan_Cushions.html

Busy making things!

Well, I've not been very good at the blog thing again!  The VW season has now finished so I'm back to making things for craft fairs between now and Christmas (is it to early to mention that word?!).  I've just added Make your own Bat kits to my felt craft kit collection ready for Halloween - they're not too spooky though, quite friendly really.  You can find them on our Etsy shop and don't forget to come and visit us on Facebook or Twitter :)
