Little fishes

I stumbled upon Junkaholique's whale and fish mobile recently and fell in love. Isn't it gorgeous??
We haven't got much use for a mobile in our house any more but I thought those fishes would be perfect to use some of my fabric scraps. I will probably turn them into a garland for the kids bedroom..

I made my first lot with Cath Kidston fabric samples and I'll be making a lot more..

And the winner is..

Bunting

A couple of friends and I have started meeting up once a month for a craft night. I find that I'm a lot more efficient when I have people around sewing with me and chatting to me!
Our first project was bunting. I did mine for my niece and nephew..

 

My rabbits look like they've got a moustache. Colour theme and cute little rabbits from this book:

I love this book, the instructions are great fun to read and follow.

Pink

A lovely surprise in my letterbox yesterday.. A surprise from Belgium..

I like pink and in a house full of boys, there's isn't much of it around.. I really liked the flower pot holder Anne-Flore had made here, so she sent me one! Along with a piece of pink fabric, a lovely handwritten card and 2 cute badges for my boys.
It's so so nice to find a handwritten letter among the ton of leaflets and brown and white envelopes I receive every day! Thank you so much Anne-Flore, it was a lovely surprise!!

Happy 100 (giveaway)!

My blog's 1st birthday passed without me really noticing but I love the idea of marking the occasion.. so I'll be celebrating my 100th post instead, like Bee over at the linen cloud..
To say thank you for popping by, for looking through my little window, thank you occasional visitors, regulars and anonymous readers, thank you for your lovely comments and encouraging words..

Now, there's this thing called a "box" that's taken France by storm recently. It's a new concept that you sign up for to receive a box full of surprises in your letterbox each month. There's the tea box, which I tried and really liked, there's the girly box, all kind of food boxes, there's a kids box too.. And then I saw this one, and I thought I'd love to make my own box too!
I already talked a little bit here about how much I enjoy putting little parcels together and so I'm offering you the chance to win a box of my creation, a box full of surprises, a little bit of me, a little bit of London, a little bit of the things I like and I hope you'll like too..

Anyone can take part, just leave a comment then I'll get an innocent little hand to draw the lucky winner on 10th March (his birthday!), and that lucky winner will receive my box by the end of the month. Good luck!

Ginette's organising a giveaway for her blog's 1st birthday too, go have a look!
