I finally got round to making a cute little owl, inspired by the tutowlrial at moonstitches.
I really enjoyed the fact that there wasn’t a template to follow. Although I made many mistakes I think I learnt more making it this way.
I couldn’t resist making the lavender baby tutorial I saw over at molly chicken yesterday. I think I still have a lot to learn about which fabrics go well together but I love it! I’ve used some Orla Kiely and Michael Miller fabrics for the body and stuffed it with some dried lavender I picked up in Totnes, Devon, before Christmas.
It smells beautiful and I’m going to make a few for some friends.
I have signed up for a great swap, hosted by Amy over at Ibby Bee. I will make four coasters for my partner, JunieMoon, and receive four coasters from someone else in the swap group. I’ve never made coasters before and I spent today looking through my craft books for some inspiration. More inspiration can be found in the coaster swap flickr group!
The photograph is completely unrelated to the swap but I also spent some time making some delicious gingerbread to eat whilst reading!
I signed up for the Button Fairy swap on Swap-bot before Christmas and the deadline really came up quickly!
I found the fairy faces online somewhere and stuck them on to some card stock to strengthen them. Then I threaded a selection of buttons from my stash along some plastic coated wire. As most of the button holes were so small I used 2mm wire. I think they’re cute!
