Gifts from my boy and ABC art.

I love this sweet boy! He bought me home some gifts last week from school a little wooden man,
and a beautiful yellow daffodil.


It's mother's day on Sunday I wonder if he will be bringing home any other sweet things :)



A couple of posts back I showed some of my crafts including this alphabet art it was such fun to do some paper craft I haven't done any for a couple of years, when we all changed bedrooms I lost my desk, I now mainly work in the kitchen sewing but still enjoy paper crafts when I can, I used K&Co Alphabet transfers onto paper and covered them with Glossy Accents it made them raised and shine, not really visible in the photo.
Here it is in Matthews room above his new book case.

More t-shirts with Ribbon.

I had a lot of fun making my first ever t-shirt for Aidan, (Lion head t-shirt) and wanted to think of some other fun designs to put on the front of some shirts for summer, I picked up these tops 3 for £2 in Asda a great deal with the normal cost being £2 plus each. I went for a Space Rocket and Aliens and was able to include tags of ribbon as well for added texture :)

Lion head t-shirt.

Here is a t-shirt I made for Aidan for a competition being held over at I am Momma here me Roar, http://iammommahearmeroar.blogspot.com/
Aidan has this comfort thing where is enjoys rubbing the inside of collars and hems, I thought it would be a fun idea to put ribbon hoops for a lions mane so he will be able to have a tactile fun
t-shirt to wear and rub the tags when he's tired.
I only used what I had in the house and didn't have any orange ribbon but I think theses colours worked out ok.

I hand sewed the face and pinned all the ribbon on before sewing around with the machine to keep ribbon in place before attaching it to a t-shirt.

My Happy little Man :)

Sore Nose


We have not been well around here for the past week and boxes of tissues are now in every room being used a lot!
I don't like the thought of Aidan's nose getting sore, and while sorting through some old baby stuff came across an old blanket, (brain ticking)
What can I make, hankies! I cut up the blanket and know have a stash of super soft re-useable tissues! Got to love a bit of re-cyclying.
