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!

Bermuda Bunting

I have started making personalised bunting... here's some Christmas bunting I made for a friend..



Christmas Elves

Christmas Elves Costumes

Along with the grotto for my sons school fete I made our elves costumes, we even appeared in the local paper!


Felt decorations



cute hearts made from strips of felt sewn together I'll probably strinG together to make a garland




Bauble Make-over

BAUBLE MAKE-OVER
Using squares of red tissue paper and pva glue, I covered the bauble and hung to dry


i love the texture of the paper covered bauble


I finished off with some white snowflake detail painted on with acrylic paint


Horatio Nelson Costume

Lord Horatio Nelson
I'm very pleased how this costume turned out! It had been my work Christmas party the night before and as we drove home the next day with a woolly head, i suddenly remembered it was 'dress as a famous person' day at my sons school! I managed to whip this up in just a couple of hours and was pleasantly suprised with the result!
