Christmas jumper

So,

I actually think, that I may indeed be a real womble. I really wanted a christmas jumper, went to the usual places, sold out, Primarni only had ones with santa claus with a pipe in his mouth, which I thought was wholly innappropriate. I dont actually knit so thought, hmm, I bet there is something that I could make from something I have got already!

I found a green knitted jumper in my wardrobe, I had forgotten that I bought it, therefore it was free...

I drew a reindeer on card, and drew round the cut out parts from spare bits of material, the brown for his face was from a freebie pashmina that I have never worn, so it is not missed, the eyes are buttons, the rest are scraps, his nose is padded.

I am delighted with the result, and in my mind, was way better than any shop bought ones, I have washed it a couple of times and it came out absolutely fine :), he is now safely nestled away in my wardrobe for this christmas :)

 

Merry Christmas

Baptism Cards

Hi,

 

So, as per usual, it has been a while since I have posted anything on here, I am not the best at blogging, I freely admit that,

 

These were cards produced for our new godson, Nicholas, and his brother Marcus, both baptised on the same day in December.

 

I have been making good use of the glitter glue, I love that it sets solid and sparkly, and it had a really good effect outlining the crusifixes on these cards :), I also used the hotfix gun to stick the gems securely, I do love that tool :)

I am always nervous about making cards for card making professionals, such as their mummy...... ;)

 

 

Sock Zebra...

I made this little dude for my friends daughter in Canada, a true Zebra fanatic

White socks with black felt for the stripes, I added sparkly rhinestones to add a bit extra on his eyes...

Be good

Fudge

Well Hey, 

This, is Fudge, he is a "Build A Bear" puppy, I fell in love with him in Bath a few months ago, so invested in buying him, he was £11. I refuse to pay £15 per blinking outfit though, so me being me thought, hmm, what can I do?.....firstly I hit eBay, and bought a cheap outfit, some shoes and some kids sunglasses, cost about £8, and gave me a good basis on size etc. for clothes to make, which is pictured at the end, but I also made him some jeans, a Jean jacket, which I used my rhinestone setter to make a sparkly star on the back, I also made a cap, a "oh Canada" t shirt, as we were just about to go there at this point and as he was coming with us for photo opportunities, I thought this an awesome tribute to my friends :). I also made a neckerchief :), so cute, as you can see....

Dear World, 

I loves the buttons. Send me buttons please.
