Show & Tell - A Princess Bunny

Welcome to Thursday!

Show & Tell Thursday's

My niece had a birthday a few months ago and like many little girls, she is right into fairies and princesses.  Wanting to do something slightly different I settled on making her one of the cute little wonderland animals from Tilda's Fairy Tale Wonderland book.

My girls decided which animal to make and chose the fabrics.  Tiny can be a bit tricky! Especially turning pieces inside out!

The end result was a cute little bunny that all the little girls loved.  My girls have placed their orders so there may be more in future!
She's pretty small! Great for little hands : )

July's giveaway is this gorgeous book filled with lovely Zakka inspired projects.  The winner will also receive some embroidery cottons.  All you have to do is link up during July to be in to win!

Thank you for stopping by today and I cant wait to see what big or small creations you've been working on!
Have a happy day!

A first, a find!

Yay yay - my first op-shop show off!!

I regularly run into the odd op-shop in the area - hoping desperately to find the odd gorgeous blanket or beautiful sheet.  Just never happens.  Until last week!  I am likely to be very boring in the next few posts as I will be spreading my good fortune out and making it last for as long as possible.

First up is this gorgeous sheet.  Pretty pattern, nice and big (a queen size I think), soft, great condition.  Love it!


Linking up with delightful Max for the first time for the Op-Shop Show-Off!


Happy Tuesday Everyone : )

Show & Tell - Happy Hearts

Hiya Lovely People,

Show & Tell Thursday's

Who's ready for school holidays? Meee! Looking forward to having my kidlets home and getting into some rock painting and kids craft.  Do you have any particular holiday crafts ready?

A few months ago these two hearts were made.  The first one for a special little girl as a series of hearts sent to support, encourage and love.

And then this one for Hubbie's grandmother for Mother's day.  The flower/rose and leaves were from Attic 24.
Both fun to make and filled with love : )

This gorgeous book is up for grabs as the July giveaway.  It is filled with delicious projects and ideas - don't you just love Zakka design?  (I am dead keen for a copy of this book - seriously cute!) All you have to do is link up during July to be in to win!  The winner will receive some yummy embroidery cottons.

Happy Friday Eve!

For the love of Zebra's

I've probably mentioned once or twice my #2 loves Zebra's.  So again for her birthday this year she wanted a "bebe" cake, and for her kindy celebration zebra cupcakes...

She got her Zebra cake...

And Zebra cupcakes for kindy.

I wonder if I have to start thinking of another version of a Zebra cake for next year?

Happy Birthday my darling girl x

Show & Tell - A Hand Embroidery

Hello there lovely people,

Show & Tell Thursday's

For Mother's Day earlier this year, we gave my MIL this hoop.  When we visit, she always tries to take an outline of the grandchildren's hands as a keepsake, a record, and something that she remembers from her childhood.

So when thinking about gifts for mothers day this idea popped into my head - I'm pretty sure I've seen it done before, but was none-the-less pretty happy to have thought of it!

Three little girls' hands outlined in their favourite colours - it was very well received, yay!  I loved working on it  and will have to make some time to do one for our family before they get much bigger!

The winner of last month's great $40 PaperVine giveaway is...Miriam!  Congrats Miriam - I'll be in touch soon with the details : )

As for July's giveaway - I hope to be back very soon with a confirmed prize from another great shop.  In the meantime link up and lets keep encouraging each other!  Also make sure you pop over to the Matariki Crafting Linky - some great things being created there too!

Thanks for dropping in Lovelies - have a fab rest of the week!
