Birdhouse ♥

I'm loving the soft colours of this blue and white birdhouse.  The delicate pattern on the paper is just beautiful...

Garden sheds and beach huts

Just a quick peek at some garden sheds and beach huts I've been sewing.

Slightly quilted and sewn with a ribbon hanger...

 ...and some with door hinges too...

Little Mitten Decorations

I've made some little mitten decorations from sturdy card and printed craft papers.  

The edges are ink-smudged in silver on the maroon mittens 

and dull gold on the pink and green mittens.

I punched a star-shaped hole to thread thick craft string through for a hanger and tied a pink ribbon knot around it.

Hanging Giftcard Pocket

I made some lovely little hanging pockets.  I don't know what the correct term for them is but they have room for a credit-card size gift card, or maybe little love notes to slide in.

These three are made using a paisley print in pale turquoise and reds with a gingham plaque, cream with pink roses and a green plaque, and a vintage blue floral print with a pale turquoise plaque.  Each plaque has 'Hugs and Kisses' written on.

And these two are in a vintage rose print pattern.  The plaque is in a brown spotted print and the wording says 'With Love ♥'

For Baby

A couple more pram hangers I have made...

I love the lace on this pink hanger. It is a scrap left over from our family christening gown.

The paper is a smudged pink with pale brown dots and the large heart is a sizzix cut out, aged around the edges and embellished with a pearl heart and 'Ssshhh...'

I also made a yellow and mint green hanger using a checked pattern and embellishing with a yellow and green pearl heart and flower.

The tiny bear is made from fimo clay.

A Small Noel

Just a little heart-shaped hanger for Christmas. Covered in silver holly patterned paper and embellished with silver peel-0ff snowflakes, small stars, a pearl flower and a pink organza bow.

Little Star Hanger

I made a little star hanger using the Christmas papers from

K&Company Holiday Traditions pad.

I spiralled the wire hanger and threaded a tiny jingle bell onto it.

A Christmas Jester Shoe

We had a craft day yesterday and our challenge was to decorate a Jester shoe.

This was my shoe.

I love the little bell tied to the tip of the shoe.

The other side is also decorated with similar embellishments.

Perfect to hang on a Christmas tree.

...and a tiny heart hanger with 'sister' stamped on it.

A baby gift

I made a couple of little hangers for baby.

They're only 10cm tall, just perfect as a gift tag or decorative hanger.

Little heartshaped hangers

I have been busy enjoying crafting with my daughter.
We have been making some little heartshaped hangers.
