Sewing bee bug...

Is bee even a bug? Oh no I already in the rumble...  When tv was showing great pottery throw down I was happily attending pottery classes in my local indi coffee shop, last session had to be postponed due to the obvious reasons... and well then summer was mark by amazing season of sewing bee.  Oh I love me some Great British Sewing Bee!  So I thought well I have time... so I dusted off my sewing machine and well started.  Made some sleeping masks. Actually I had to redo them since they turned out too chunky... then I made a pinafore from the old bed sheet. Like a test run. I haven’t been making stuff from the actual pattern in well over 15 years (well not since I was a teenager). I got the bug. I am planning a Christmas themed quilt. I never made a quilt but I found a nice and simple tutorial on YouTube. I also signed up for some fab makers, sewers channels there. And now trying to learn how to sew with stretch fabrics. Plan is to turn some old hubby’s tees into son’...

It's super hard to fit anything around looking after one very active baby boy! But I do manage... You have seen my awesome decoupage bowl...  This time my craft project was long coming....  Have a small canvas some paint buttons and a bit of time... Here is the result! Think it came out rather fun.... And not at all like a colour blindness test! Remember these?  Now just to finish Edgar's room and than hang this in there... This will also mean that he will stop sleeping in our bedroom and sometimes next to me... Scary notion! But he will be 8 months in less than two weeks. P.S. Actually looking at it more and more this art need some more work! Stay tuned

Making Stuff...Old lippy to tinted lip balm

I was tidying my makeup bag... the lovely yellow and black Luella make up bag by the way:) And I found some unused lipsticks... Sometime you think colour would be great on you, or some one gives you one, so I had quiet few of these. It is such a shame just to throw them away, waste! So I thought to make a colour I might actually like. It is very simple! I referred to Queen of Crafts book Great book by the way, very inspirational with a lot of useful information. Not like some of the crafts book that just look great, but have no use. I actually find my self referring to it every now and then, Jazz Domino Holly is one expert crafter and you of course can get this book on  Amazon So what I did: -few old (unused and unloved in my case) lippies -vaseline (we been gifted a massive tab some time ago) -heat proof bowl  -pan with hot/boiling water The heat from the water will warm up the bowl where I placed cuts off...

I made things...

When I went to see my friend Charl  to model for her  she gave me leaving present.  I didn't know I had one:)  I love it! Husband loves it! These guys are just too cute!  Thank babes x So she did say that it would have been super cool to have one of them in 3D.... Well... Here to please really... So Charlotte when are we meeting next so I can give you this dude?  But then again, if there is something being made another hand-made thing is coming too... Took me absolute forever to remember how to do this, but I think results it great! Must make some more... Would you buy them? I think I can take my Esty shopping into selling...
