Too cute!

I made a couple of owls this morning for a little girl who likes pink and navy, they turned out so sweet I think it would be hard to choose just one!

It's been a huge week with all sorts of things going on around here, I noticed that the bricks have been delivered to our building site which means things are moving there too.

Now I have to get ready for next week because it's going to be massive on the sewing front, it feels as busy as christmas, how does this happen when it's only September? 

Hope you all have a gorgeous weekend!

I love her!

I had a round three, four and five and this is the end result.....

 Isn't she the sweetest little birdy you've ever seen?

 I'm so attached to her that I almost don't want to put her in a box and send her to her new home.

 But I know where she is going and I know that she'll be treasured and loved by a very special little girl.

 Yes this little bird was a custom order, but I am working on a few more all to be posted to Shop Handmade this week. Remember if you want one and you can't make it to Shop Handmade please send me an email.

 They will all be lovingly handmade and only $24.95.

 I'm more than happy to do custom orders if you have or want a particular colour used......maybe something you've decorated your room with.

That's all I have for today, I'm off to do 6 loads of washing ( how exciting ) finish a few pear orders, and tidy up for visitors tomorrow.

Black Bird Cushions

Today was so nice and cool, it was an absolute joy to sit and create something without sweat dripping from my brow.

I made these four little cushions for a special order I've been working on. Loads of fun, I really enjoyed making something I haven't made for a while!

 Because these cushions are so small ( 20cm x 20cm ) I had to make the inserts to go in them.

 I also made this set of Love pears in red, I was thinking of making a few more for Valentine's Day or any time of year for that matter!

So sorry about the brightness in this picture, I don't know why it is but I can never get a nice picture of anything with red in it! These pears aren't fluro red......it's just my crap photography skills!

Thanks for stopping by.

P.S. The air-con man came and fixed my air-conditioner a short while ago! Woooohooooo!

A pretty house.

Every little girl needs a house cushion to sit on their bed, apart from looking beautiful and having a garden out in bloom all year round it's great for pretend play!

I love this little cushion.......
and I hope Chloe did too!

Have a lovely weekend!

Last Custom Order.

This cute little fella is the last custom order I'm doing for the year! It's getting to the point where it's almost physically impossible to have something made and posted for a safe arrival before Christmas. I have a few things I have to do today and that's it......phew! I can't believe the pace I've been working at for the past few months.......trust me I'll be better prepared for next year!
A few weeks ago I spotted these gorgeous red moose .......so it's out with the reindeer and in with the moose for this year. They are so cute and I think at some stage they might be spray painted white and kept up all year round.

I caved this year and went with the big tree in the corner of the lounge room as opposed to the stick tree I had last year.........which took up very little space! I sat it up on top of a giant trunk and now it almost touches the ceiling, it looks massive and quite dominant in the small room, but the kids love it and that's all that matters!

I told them what colours to put on it and they decorated it all by themselves, they even had the ornaments spread out evenly and not in big clumps! Now we just have to wait for Santa to visit and put some gifts under it.

My Creative Space....... Something fishy!

This week I want to share something a little different to what is normally made on my sewing machine........these were a special request from a very lovely lady.
She said she wanted some sea creatures, she didn't say what types she wanted. This fish is going to confuse everyone because I don't even know what type it is!

I also had an attempt at a jelly fish......not quite sure if this is what she had in mind but I guess I'll soon find out!

There is also a big green star-fish and this morning I'm going to give a sea-horse a go.....I think I'm going to make him bright blue with a few spots..........another unidentified breed!

If you want to see some more creative spaces head on over and say hello to Kirsty at kootoyoo.

Have a lovely day.

Custom Order.

I don't normally do the lettering on my pears in red but a lovely lady asked if I could because it would match in with her other kitchen accessories. I'm totally impressed with how they turned out and I know they are going to look fantastic in the kitchen......or anywhere for that matter!
If you want some pears made up with something special on them just send me an email and I'll see what I can do.

Hope you are all having a happy weekend!

Custom Orders.

I've been plugging away at the "To Do List" and things are finally coming together......It's hard, really hard to get things done while the kids are on holidays.

Here are a couple of owls which were completed yesterday.
This little sweetie is for a separate order......

but I think she wants to stay with her friends.

How about these feathers we collected last week. Megan is riding this afternoon so I might be able to collect some more......don't know what I'm going to do with them, but they are so beautiful and delicate I simply must have them.

Thanks for stopping by.
