Handmade gifts

Some friends of ours have just welcomed a new baby girl into their family and well for me it was the perfect opportunity to make something!



This is one of my Merino/Jersey cot blankets (Merino one side, jersey the other), I am soo loving the red merino! I am hoping to get the time to make a few more blankets for the markets coming up in May. They make the perfect baby shower gift! They are super lightweight but so warm and cozy!

Whales.

More craftiness and experimentation in the CC studio...
I seem to have a thing for whales and elephants at the moment and have been experimenting with some kids room art.



Shown here in Ash's bedroom are my Whale & Fish mobile and Whale shadowbox made from recycled kids storybook.

Alphabots.



Check out this cute design I put together for Ash based on an embroidered robot on some shorts he was given. Think I might make some more for sale...

It's been a long time...

... since I posted that is!
WOW how fast is this year going, craziness!

So what have I been up to? Well apart from seeing my now 5 month old growing and developing at a super quick rate (sitting up already and eating solids with gusto) I have been thinking, creating, crafting, sewing...

Haven't managed to make it to any markets since January as either myself or hubby have been away but hopefully I'll be showcasing all my new wares at 2 markets in May - Crafternoon Tea in Kingsland on Sat 15th May and Royal Oak Market on Sun 23rd May. Fingers crossed I'll get stalls at both.

So what will I be selling?

Kids t-shirts of course!
But also some new fleece blankets, colourful and fun and sooo snuggly to keep away that winter chill while out in the pram or at home.



Also our great tag blankies. I made one of these for my bub after seeing how much my 2 yr old loved his, that some friends in the UK gave him. After getting loads of positive comments I thought I'd add them to my collection.
Here are some examples:



I'll be trying to update things more regularly from now on with my little side projects and other things I come across on my daily web trawl so stay tuned. And hope to see you at those markets in May.

Ciao.

PS: all these items are also soon to be listed on our online store
