Mushroom Badges


Shrooms! Again, from a while back now, I loved this vintage mushroom fabric I found at the market, must have been curtains at a guess. The print was already a cool colourway, and with nice detail, so I didn't really have to do much leg work making it into these cute little badges. xxx

Guitar cushion

This is a cushion I made for my dad for his Birthday a few years back. He is a guitar teacher by profession, and an all round guitar enthusiast by personality, nobody ever really knows how many guitars he has at any given time, as he strategically stashes them in various places around his music room, and the house. I love that I grew up with guitars and music around, and that it is our common family ground, so as I usually gift him music (or whiskey) themed pressies I decided to mix it up with some of my sewy interests and put some of our fave sweet guitars on a hand stitched cushion.... xxx

Winter Wonderland

A winter themed welcome home card that I thought I would very quickly sneak in while it was still the season for it. Made for Peter, who, lucky for me is a compulsive scanner and photographer of anything and everything I make, which then gets delivered to me via usb pigeon in neat little folders every few months, a flawless system really. xxx

Prague


Last month for my birthday I went for a bit of a whirlwind few days away to Prague, I don't really know how to do the chilled out break away thing (mission for this summer), so, as usual, we pounded the pavement for hours on end, nourished by cake and cocktails in a can, but I did a wee journal page while there. Very comprehensive summary. Thought I would add a few pages from Cologne and New Zealand last year too. xxx

Mr Kitty + Dino


I wanted to start my very first post with these little guys, which I made a few fair years ago now, they were pretty much the first EVER things I made and sold, (except for maybe those acorn people that you made as children and sold on the street outside your house, when it was still safe-ish to do that sort of thing, sigh, the 80's), and so they have a special place in my heart reserved especially for odd looking plushy things. There was Mr Kitty and Dino, each equipped with a skull and crossbones badge, incase they gave the impression (being pink and mint) that they weren't tough as. xxx
