We like to tell secrets....shhhhh

Little Miss 7....

My little Miss 7 is having a birthday on Sunday and she decided that she didn't want to have lolly bags for her friends, instead she wanted to make them some jewellery. She found out what her friends favourite colours were and set to work on putting together some special pieces.

They were not just threaded randomly, she put alot of thought into her patterns.

I was very impressed and I am sure her friends will be too.

What do you think - Maybe she should have her own Etsy Store!!!

Today I designed a Flopsy Rabbit and made up the pattern - I wanted to do something for my Easter market to make it look, well, Easterish!! What are your thoughts? Do you think a few Flopsy Rabbits on the stall would look good.

Blogtoberfest Day 11- Breeding like....well....

blogtoberfest Day 10- What is becoming of me??

I make jewellery - Right?? So what is this latest obsession to try and sew...hmmm. The thing is that the weather has been too cold for resin casting and with the school holidays it is also a bit hard to get all the icky , gooey, smelly resin stuff out (NOTE : resin and kids do not mix). So if you have been following my blog you would have seen that I made a Sock Monkey earlier in the week, and it was fun. Then I read about the Softies for Mirabel Charity Project which you can read all about on Meet me at Mikes Blog and I thought that it would be something I might like to have a go at. So I searched for a SIMPLE pattern and found this rabbit - there are easy to follow instructions and pictures if you want to try one for yourself - Pattern Here

So here he is - Little Bunny Foo Foo....

You know that when you make something you really shouldn't show the pic of what it is supposed to look like - especially when you cook ....But I think little bunny foo foo looks enough like the picture to be able to show you...

I learnt a few things from my first attempt which I can improve on next time , but overall pretty happy with him.

Easter Rabbits for the Teacher....

My Dear Daughters age 7 & 9 wanted to take a little Easter pressie along for their teachers so with only one day of school to go and not much time we got crafting. We made these cute little facewasher rabbits. A simple idea but very effective - I hope the teachers like them when they hop onto their desks tomorrow.
