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!

Lack of inspiration...

I struggle with lack of inspiration. Can you imagine? I've got loads of papers, stamps, inks, dies and so on and still no inspiration. Yesterday I cleaned my craft room and brought order into the mess and hopefully it will help me to do more in that little craft room...
I had to make a card for a little newborn girl. It took me much longer than usually, but at a certain point I got an idea. I hang out the name of the girl with the stampset from PTI. The alphabet I used is  from cuttlekids. Papers from Summer Fresh by Simple Stories. I stitched the strips of design paper on vellum which I laid over the stamped image. On the picture it looks like it is unclear, but it actually turned out really nice (okay, that's my opinion). The owl I showed you in the previous post was for this little girl as well. I saw this polka dot background and I had to make a new photo ;)

Enjoy your weekend and thanks for hopping over to my blog!

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...
