Bonvoyage!

One of my good friends Mel is leaving us soon, to embark on an adventure - London! She had recently acquired her dads old DLSR, so what better present to give her but a ruffle camera strap. I bought a whole lot of this funky bright material (which I have a few things in mind for) and christened it with this project.

Singlets for James..

Not that long a go I created some singlets for my gorgeous niece Isabel. I had been wanting to try a range for boys, but was struggling to put my ideas into action. Those who know me, would know that I am kind of surrounded by a baby boom at the moment - Multiple people I know have had children in the last year, and the 1st birthday of one of those gorgeous little men is this Sunday. So what better opportunity to create some little men singlets than a first birthday.

Bonds sell these cute little 5 packs of singlets, in a boys and girls range. I used 3 of them to create these, and have kept the other two, one for my niece (project to come) and the other for another special little man. I really like the range of colours they include, especially the orange.

Boys, boys, boys... so much harder for me to be creative with. Girls have endless amounts of flowers and frills, but boys... I was perplexed. I googled and googled and googled boy clipart and ended up with these AND I LOVE THEM!!!! and I think he does too!

All wrapped up ready to go...

 I decided that it was time for me to start packaging the things I make for the people I love. Hear is what I have come up with -  I wanted it to be simple & elegant.. I think I am happy with it..
You will have to wait until these are opened to see what goodies they hold..

For Aunty Erin..

A good friend of mine is about to become an aunty for the fourth time & its a girl! So, what else would I do, but make some more super CUTE girly singlets for her to wear. The first is an adaption of a previous singlet I have made and the other is something new. I hope you like! 

Ruffle Camera Strap

Another project finished!!! After researching a few different designs, I loved the ruffle one the best and here it is..
Now I have a snazzy new camera strap AND I think it's pretty cute! I cant wait to make another one, i'll just add it to my list..

Oscar the Owl

Okay, I admit I am a little obsessed with owls at the moment, so the next logical step was to sew one. I just decided to go for it and draw a pattern and see how it went. So here is my finished product. I had originally thought to make a door stop, however, it wasn't heavy enough in the end. Oh, and I forgot to mention it was a gift for my mum - she loved it!!!! AND named it Oscar... hence the name..
