Purple & Green Birthday Wishes.

This Lovely Layers stamp and die set really hasn't seen very much action I'm afraid. It was one of those sets that I wanted instantly, and then when it arrived I was in a bit of a crafting hole. I'm really loving the little details on the leaves. Purple and green are two of my favourite colour combos and these were the colours that were used on the birthday girl's cake. Hope she likes it!

Thanks for looking!

A few more bibs made out of scraps

I bought a bundle of scraps off Etsy, just so I would have a bit more variety to work with. Most of them were fine, but I had to piece some together to make them useable. I made up three bibs last night out of them. It didn't take too long and now I have a bunch of cute bibs for Maya :)

By Request of Ethan

Last night Ethan asked me if I would make him a bag for bringing some cars down to his Nanny's house. He picked out everything from the fabric down to the zip. For a four year old, he's very sure of what he likes! Another one of his criteria was it had to stand up by itself, so I tried boxed corners for the first time and it worked out fairly well.

Birch Fabrics- Cars in Cream and Kona Turquoise for the lining, both from Fluffy Sheep Quilting.

Sorry for the dark photos, but it's such a wintery day here. I miss natural light :(

Envelope Cushion

During a recent visit to Ikea, I bought a load of fabric. For this cushion, I used the Eivor Leva and an old black pillow case for the back. The cushion insert is 20x20" and is also from Ikea. The insert was only €6 and it's really comfy and chock full of stuffing. I'm making these as part of my mum's Christmas present. One down, three to go!

Embroidery Floss Storage

I wanted to find a new way to store all my embroidery floss. The old way involved throwing it all into a giant box, not the most organised method. I used some ziplock bags, which I reinforced with tape. I punched some holes on the side so I could keep them in a folder. I grouped all the like colours together. Then I added a label on the front and listed the floss numbers on it.

I had a small A7 folder lying around which was perfect. It's so much easier to find the right colours now.

This one is full already so I'll probably have to start a new one soon.

Thanks for looking!

Baby Card

Oh dear, after doing so well with posting in July, I seemed to have lapsed a bit in September! I'll put it down to lack of sleep with Maya and Ethan going back to school. There don't seem to be enough hours in the day.

I made this card for a friend who's baby was born at 28 weeks. She is a tiny little girl, but doing so well :)
