TWO LITTLE PROJECTS!

Below are a few little pieces I whipped up to make a garland for a little girl who recently arrived into the world.

All joined together.

Gift wrapped and ready to go.



This is a string of bunting that I completed ages ago but needed some finishing touches that I recently got around to completing.  Not for anyone in particular but just because......

Note the cheeky photo bomber in bottom left hand corner.

Hope you have been finding time to enjoy some projects lately be they big or small.

Another Blanket Finished!

Managed to finish this baby blanket before my friend's little boy arrives.  She lives in Jakarta at the moment but announced that she will be coming home to have the baby so I am thrilled because I will be able to give her the prezzie in person.

HOT WEATHER, HOLIDAY FUN AND ANOTHER BLANKET.....

This is our dog 'Duffy'.  He is normally a crazy jump about sort of dog so we don't let him inside.  During the Victorian heatwave of 40 plus degrees every day however, he was very grateful to be let in and didn't stray from the towel we put out for him.  If only he was always so well behaved........

Master 'O' spent a week in Geelong with his Nanny over the summer break.  When I went to collect him I treated him to a ride on the Ferris Wheel at Eastern Beach.

Then he had a lovely splash in the water as we paddled along the beach.

I have been naughty and started another blanket before finishing the hexagon one I began a couple of months ago.  I have a good excuse though.  A lovely friend is expecting a little boy in May and she is currently living in Jakarta, so I need to quickly get it finished so that it can be posted to her before his arrival.

MY WEEK OF MILK GLASS DISCOVERIES.....

Thought I might take a wander down to some op-shops in the next suburb on Monday and I discovered this for the princely sum of $1.80.  Woo hoo!!

Then lo and behold on Wednesday I discovered a matching piece at a totally different place.  How's that for synchronicity?

Yesterday I went to another op-shop and came across this piece.  How lucky am I?  Hope those of you who enjoy thrifting are also having some luck!

MORE CHRISTMAS CRAFTING......

The pattern for these flowers is in Issue 7 of the Simply Crochet magazine.

Adding some pretty buttons.

And some needle felted hearts that I had left over from an earlier project.

Strung together to make a pretty garland/bunting type decoration.

And another garland/bunting that I put together for a brand new baby boy in the family.

Stay tuned there will be more Christmas makes coming...........

CHRISTMAS CRAFTING!

I bought some air drying clay this week to make a pendant for Master O's dress up day and I had some left over.  I thought it might be fun to make some decorations.

After rolling the clay out flat I then rolled a doily over the top to make the impression and then simply cut them out with a cookie cutter and put a hole in the top for some string.  Easy peasy.

Wrapped and ready to go under the Christmas Tree.  Simple little gifts made from the heart.  Hope you are all having fun with your Christmas Crafting..............

DRESS UP DAY AT SCHOOL!

I don't usually blog about personal things but my gorgeous son had a dress up day at school this week and he was very proud and excited.  He is dressed up as Yugi, a character from one of his favourite cartoons 'Yu Gi Oh'.  

The pic below is just to show you that he does like to smile, when I asked him why he wasn't smiling in the dress up pics he explained that it was because he was 'in character'.

On a totally unrelated note, Joy from Joyjinks Creations can you please send me an email with your details.  Congratulations you have won the vintage poster.
