Bella and Scrappy

                                                       So this is my beautiful little niece Bella whom I had made a Little Scrappy for (along with a brand new outfit). Glad to have at least one happy customer :)

Just got some Mommy (sister) advice on how to add/improve on my Little Scrappy's so they are more baby friendly and really then can be adjusted for all ages. Stay tuned...

Its been awhile and there has been lots of sewing

Ok, I know I said I would blog more but its been awhile again. I was on a roll with my sewing but it seems my "roll" has rolled away at the moment and I think has rolled under the couch with the dust bunnies. So I will keep you up to date with what I have been doing.

I had made a deal with a friend that I would work on finishing all my half completed projects before I started new dresses for my niece. So I pulled out a box of half finished little monsters.....now named "Little Scrappy's"  These guys are my new little project and I am busy sewing up an army of little guys and I am going to have a go selling them....want one???

These little guys above I created for Easter. Though I didnt get them finished in time to sell for Easter, I think they are cute year round. I now am working on some blue bunnies too. The boys can't miss out.


These guys were my first creations. I have made quite a few since then and have tweaked them a little. If you want one, I can do what ever colours you would like.

These two guys I did as a wedding present for my wonderful friend Angela who was getting married and I wanted to giver her something different for her wedding (and because she had suggested it)

This was a baby blanket that a friend of mine, Cath, had asked me to make for her new little baby boy Tate. So of course I had to add a Little Scrappy to match the blanket.

Today

OK everyone, this is what I got up to today. Was experiementing with fabrics to see what worked well with singing flowers. Not bad for a first try, but will try with different colors and see what they look like.

Dresses


Today I am off to clean the craft room, get myself organized for some great crafting projects. Last night I started making silk flowers, they turned out great and will post pic's later when I finsh. Here are some of  the cute summer Chrissy dresses I made for work....

Just back from a weekend with family

Ok I know I promised I would be writing more on my blog but I have just been feeling tired, overwhelmed and unispired. But I just came back from a weekend with my mum and sister, visitng markets and talking about great ideas and I must say I have come home so inspired to get my studio back in order and get creating...and working towards maybe opening a store combining the creative tallents of my family.

I have decided that I will go in small steps seeing I get so many ideas at one time and I can get overloaded and then I just dont know where to start....and so I stop. So I think I will just make things one at a time and post them to my blog and go from there.

Its scary enough to be putting my stuff out there....

Today is the day

I am an artist who loves to create everything and anything. I get inspired by the people and things around me. I say to people I do a little of this and a little of that all rolled into one. For me its about making things that make not only me smile and think but others around me. Its been a while since I have fully jumped back into my work and I think now is the time to jump head first
