This weeks Crafting

 Today i thought i would share some of the things i've been making this week. First up is something i have been meaning to try for a while now.  I had some plain headbands i bought last year with the intention of jazzing them up.  Until now i haven't had chance to do something with them.  The other night i was sorting through Little Miss G's clothes for our holiday in June and realised she didn't have many headbands that matched her summer clothes.  With this in mind i grabbed my glue gun some ribbone and embellishments and ta dah......  

 This next project was a practise for an order i have.  I have been asked to make a drawstring bag with a see through panel in the front in a childs initial.  I thought i would practise first and came up with this in hello kitty fabric with my little girls intial on.  She loves it and it was really easy to do.  i used vinyl fabric for the panel and made the rest the same as a normal drawstring bag.
 Now how cute is this scottie dog fabric?.  I'm tempted to make another to keep for myself!!
 This last project was inspired by a number of people i know who are pregnant at the moment.  It is a car sign with a sucker on to hang in the window.

Bits and Bobs

Hi guys how is everyone?.  How on earth did we get to May already?. Seriously it seems like yesterday i was cooking Christmas Dinner..... Anyway things have been busy busy busy and i don't seem to have stopped for as long as i can remember.  We go on holiday in a month though and I'm looking forward to doing absolutely nothing for a whole week.  But for now i have lots of orders to be making.  Here's some of my recent makes and as always if you want to make them and need some help drop me an e-mail. 

 This bag is made from lovely minky fabric that i purchased from the lovely Claire over at Cheshire Fabrics
 I thought the bag would look sweet with a detachable owl keyring on so i made this to go with it.
 This photo frame was for a new baby and i think this is my favourite so far.
 I was asked by a lovely lady to create a keepsake hand print frame that she could give as a present. She sent me her son's hand print and i wrote the poem over the hand print then made the frames.
 and finally this is my first attempt at using chalkboard fabric (love it!).  I made this travel chalkboard that can be rolled up.  When i get time i am going to make a chalk roll and drawstring bag  to make it into a little set.
