Sneak Peak No. 2

Just to keep the suspense going I have another sneaky peak for you!

Can't guess what it is? Well you shouldn't have to wait too much longer! I am expecting on making the announcement in the next 2 weeks, provided all goes to plan!

From Pillowcase to Shower Cap and Make-up Bags!

Recently there was a pillowcase challenge over at Craft's Beautiful that I entered. I found a lovely pillowcase in a thrift shop made from Breast cancer awareness fabric.
I fell in love with the fabric as soon as I saw it and then immediately knew what I wanted to make.

There has been so much going on here recently that I missed the deadline, only to find out it had been extended. Thankfully I just managed to get my entry finished in time. I will not be looking at pillowcases the same again! LOL I even have a small amount of fabric left over!

So here is my new waterproof shower cap....

and the matching lined make-up bags

You can find my directions/tutorial for the shower cap here.

Sneak Peek No. 1

As promised here is the first sneak peek of what I have been up to.

Something in the Air!

I am currently working on something that I will be announcing very soon!

It is taking a some time to sort but I will reveal all in the next couple of weeks, so be sure to check back or subscribe to my blog (button is up the top on the left) so you can see when it is announced!

Kids Crafty Birthday Party

It was my DD 9th birthday recently and she decided she wanted to have a craft party. So I thought I would share with you a few things we did.

It all began with the invitations, which my daughter proudly designed and assembled by herself. The inside of the card has all the details of the party which I helped her make using the computer.

Come the day of the party we decorated the birthday girl's chair for her to sit on during the party and whilst she opened the presents. This has become a tradition in our household since the day she turned 3.

The ballerina birthday cake was made and there were cupcakes galore!

Then onto the creating and making!

I had a long list of projects in case the girls finished their creations quickly and I let my daughter pick each craft as we went along.

The girls had a fabulous time and this is what they made:

Pencil Buddies


Lavender tied in the style of a ballet slipper


Drawer Sachets for scenting their clothes.


Paperclip Bookmarks


Handbag style boxes


The girls all had a delightful time and took home all their lovely makes.
