Twilight Marketing.

In November I took part in the twilight craft market held at the little guy’s kindergarten. This is the only market I did this year and it’s the first one with my handmade things. It was great to be making!

Meet some of my little friends…

…the snoots…

…the birdies…

…and the rosettes.

Hmmm, it feels like the beginnings of something.

Jo’s birdie mobiles.

I do believe these are my best birdie mobiles yet.

A girl and a boy set for Jo.

Soon to be available back in my etsy shop. But for now, email me if I can make you a special order.

*Please note that I will be offline for most of the month of September.

Homemade Lampshade.

What with closing the store and my role as chief events organiser for the week of Four there hasn’t been much crafting going on lately. And I am aware that there are three babies I have promised to make quilts for that haven’t been begun! Uh-oh.

This lampshade is the exception. Made for Oscar’s room with the very last scraps of the glorious “Skipping Boy” fabric. As it was a tapered shade, I did the best I could to keep the little boys straight by pleating the shade (small pin tucks at the bottom and wider ones at the top). Raw edges cunningly hidden under that wonderful all purpose bias binging in sky blue gingham.
