A Little Bit of Dr Who Fun

I love the TARDIS!  I made one of these a few weeks ago and LOVED it.
When I made a couple more they were quick to sell at a craft fair and I've since had more orders :)
As my son kindly pointed out when I was encountering a bit of difficulty with the stuffing 'It's because they're so much bigger on the inside, that's why you're struggling.'  You can't argue with that logic!

Union Jack Brooches

I've been cross-stitching various Union Jack designs, trying several different patterns until I finally came up with one I'm happy with.  The idea was that I would use them on different projects but so far I've only made these brooches...

...and the sun was going in and out like a fiddler's elbow when I was trying to take photo's so they're not the shots I was looking for but will do for now.

Bunnies

It would seem that bunnies have been popular in my craftings of late.  Here's a look at a couple of little decorative felt bunnies, hand sewn with a blanket stitch in contrasting thread.

The pale lavender bunny has pearl bead eyes and a gingham hanging ribbon.

And the pink one has french-knot eyes and a hanger made from plaited embroidery silks.

The arms and legs are sewn on with tiny white flower buttons.

Merry Christmas!

Little felt birds

I've been hand sewing some felt birds using lovely colours and embroidery silks...

...each one is made using two different colours for the main 

body (one on each side) and a third colour for both wings... 

...and the threads used to sew them all 

together are the same colours as the felts.  

The eyes are tiny little star shaped buttons and some hangers are ribbon while others are plaits of the silks I used to sew them all together.

Fun with Felt...

Holly has a thing for little felted owls so I found this great pattern here and made this one for her...

...and I made a few little hanging heart decorations too... 

...embellished with buttons and tiny felt hearts... 

...all sewn up in little kisses and blanket stitches.
