Envelopes

After seeing them here (in French) and here (in English), I had a go at making my own envelopes. Wrapping paper, M's colouring books, Frankie.. anything goes!
My first batch wasn't so neat and tidy but they're good fun to make.

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.
