Handmade Toys
3 little monkeys jumping on the bed....
I
crocheted the monkeys from a pattern in a magazine (sorry, I've no idea which
one or where it is now!) they were supposed to have Christmas hats on, but as this
is one of my favourite rhymes, I wanted to make it come alive for my little
nephew, so I embroidered the words onto the bag.
With
hindsight, I should have marked out the lines for even writing, but this was
finished late at night with very little time left to finish it, so I just did
it completely freehand..
Travel Coloring Pack
A Personalised Colouring pack, ideal for car journeys or trips out. I made this for my niece.
Personalised Wash Bag
A washable, draw string flannelet wash bag lined with blue cotton to match the star, personalised with name. Great for overnight camps and trips awayProject Bag
A present for a fellow crafter - a project bag. the handles pull the bag closed though a number of button holes. I saw this idea on a blog, then created my own style, I am going back a few years now, so I can't link the blog I found this on, if any one knows of it, please let me know and I'll update.Bow Bag
I loved this bag, I came up with the idea in the shower and made it for my friends daughter, I had forgotten I made it until I found the picture I took just now!

Christmas Cushion
On 1st December, I love to transform my home to give a really cosy Christmasy feel. I love to replace lamps with Christmas lamps and fairy lights, swap vases of flowers for wintery displays and this year I managed to make some Christmas cushions... well a Christmas cushion...

But I do intend to make a star cushion to match, and some other festive cushions so I can replace my cushions at Christmas too
Personalised Cushions
I love to personalise my home with things unique to me and my family; my childrens drawings, photos etc and I love the idea of personal cushions... so I decided to sew my family on a cushion...


Its a simple drawing in the matchstick style I always doodle in but really does bear a close resemblance to us!

Craft bag
I wanted to make something special for a close friend, who also happens to be into crafting, I thought a craft bag would be ideal... So after getting some inspiration from Running with Scissors tutorial, (http://projectsbyjess.blogspot.com/2010/01/school-bag-tutorial.html) I set about making my own version... which for a frist attempt, I was quite pleased with!
