baby project

During our holiday a little nephew was born. And of course he would have some homemade baby projects. When Marianne Design launched their owl die, I knew I would do something with it for this baby and thought of making a pram or maxi cosi toy. It was a bit hard to choose colours, but finally I decided to use aqua blue, lime green and some greys. And for the second shape I chose a star. I used some gingham ribbon and a little bell for the finishing touch.

Secondly, I made some bibs with cotton and a cuddle cloth I showed you before.You can find the pattern here.

By the way, the black cord which is still visible on the pictures has gone. I cut them off after fitting on the pram.
As you probably can imagine, I was very happy with these projects and so were the parents!

Thanks for coming by. Enjoy your day!

Owl Family

No cardstock, stamps or inks these days, but felt, yarn, ribbon, fabric and Marianne Design's Owl Collectables . May I introduce you to the Owl Family?

Be warned, the family is still growing!

By the way, this is not the project I was talking about in a previous post! 

Enjoy your weekend!

Hoot!

Today a little owl for you! I saw a lovely 'hairclip-owl' somewhere on Pinterest and gave it a try with the collectable from Marianne Design. Cute, isn't it? You can't see it but the ribbon is much longer so many hairclips can be clipped onto the ribbon.

Maybe this little owl is the start of a bigger project...
Thanks for coming by!

Sweet

I promised you the second card I made, again with Summer Fresh. I haven't used the flower dies of Marianne Design not that much and I have a lot of felt of the Hot Air Balloon project left. The dies are perfect for felt flowers.

The weekend has started! Hopefully it will be a  few relaxed days! Enjoy it!

Hot air balloons mobile

A few posts ago I gave you a preview of a project I was working at. Yesterday I finished the project and I like to show you some more pictures. It was a bit hard to take pictures as I don't have a good spot to hang up the mobile. So I used our lamp as a standard!

Now we have to wait for the birth of the new owner of this mobile. By the way, you can find the pattern and tutorial on 'Craftiness is not optional'. This blog is really worth visiting! I bought felt at the website of De Viltwinkel. Good quality and the felt is sold with matching embroidery floss. Perfect!

 Do you see the monkey on the picture above? It is a so called sock monkey. I didn't know the story about this monkey until I made a quilt as a baby present for the eldest child of our brother- and sister-in- law. I asked my sister in law to look for a pattern and fabric she liked and she came up with a fabric line of Moda with the monkeys. I made this quilt: (I know the quality of the pictures could be better, but the pictures are taken long time ago...)

When we visited the USA I saw this monkey in a quiltshop and I had to buy it! After finishing this quilt I had a few leftovers and when they expected their second child I made a bag for toys.

Their third child will get the mobile and the colours of the monkey fabric inspired me for choosing the felt. 

So, this project has been finished! On time! Let's start a new project. Maybe it is time for some cards?!

Back to normal life

Our life is almost back to daily routine, although I've got holidays till the end of next week. The children who spent their holiday with us left last weekend and after some cleaning and washing the laundry our house is back in normal position. We had a great time together, but it definitely took a lot of energy. But we enjoyed their smiles! I stamped with them as well and they liked it a lot. Unfortunately I didn't take pictures of the results. Of course I helped them a bit, but they had a creative mind and the cards turned out well!

This afternoon I transferred the guestroom back  into craft room. So I can reach all my stuff and use the sewing machine, cuttlebug and other equipment more easily. And of course I made a card. I've got many left overs from Crate Paper's Emma Shoppe and I liked to use them. The result is a bit chaotic... I hope my friend will  like the card!

Guess what! I've won the give away on Inge's blog!  Inge will send me a set of cards, created by Revlie. Lucky me! Thank you, Inge and Revlie!

Thank you for hopping by and see you soon! 

WMS Challenge #34

Yesterday evening I made my card for the Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge for this week. This is the sketch:

This cute boy shows my card .

I saw on you tube the technic to make the roses. So I tried and this was my result with felt! I really like them. And it is so easy to do! I made more with scrappaper. There is just one question: do the postman like the roses also? Or would it be destroyed when you send a card with these roses to someone?

For the background I used Text it and the sentiment is from Teeny Trees. Both sets are from Waltzingmouse.  

Thank you for your visit!
