New Listings in my etsy store

I finished working on this sweet girl last week, The poor thing had been sitting on my desk unfinished for far to long. She is such a sweet fat little elephant. I love her spring colours. Here in Australia we are now in Spring.

Prudence is in my etsy store now. She is one of my larger style teddy bears.

This sweet altered art doll is also in my etsy store.

New listings in my etsy store

I have spent the morning adding some new listing to my etsy store, I have some Tags hand stamped with vintage dress forms.

Also finished and added to the store today a craft keeper wall hanging.

I have added 3 raggedy annie patterns again.

Altered Art in the studio today

Today I am working on an altered art wall hanging. I have wanted to create one of these altered art photo's for such a long time, I have seen them on pinterest. 

I have some really old beautiful photo's of children. I thought i would create something beautiful to hang in the studio.

Pin Cushions

I found a couple of Kits left from the show last year. I will be adding a couple to my etsy store this week. The above photo, is my pin cushion I have sitting on my desk and use it everyday. They look lovely sitting in a vintage cup.

I will have kits and e-patterns for sale in my etsy store this week.

I covered a small round box in some paris map print and added the blue pin cushion.

I have left the raw edges as it looks vintage.

A Creative day in the Studio

Here in Queensland Australia we had a public Holiday, so i thought i would spend the day creating some more pin keeps from my fabric tags. They are fantastic to use when you are on the go and need pins with you.

I have listed a couple in my etsy store and the rest sold last night on my facebook page.

So today i am making some more for my etsy store.

A new project in the studio today

I started a new project this morning. I have wanted to cover the beautiful chest of drawers for a long while now. So today is the day. I had a beautiful old book that was falling apart. It had the most beautiful aging around the edges.

I have covered everything I am just waiting on the bottom drawer to dry it seems to have a lot of bubbles.

all finished and dry, most of the bubbles went when it dried. I have used 3 different lots of handles and i love the way it has turned out.

here is a close up of the handles.

Playing around with some vintage lace

Saturday I started on a new project not knowing what to create but knowing i wanted to use some vintage lace and buttons.

I had no intentions of making a bear or elephant of any kind. she just happened and she is the smallest one to date that I have made she sits at 10 cm 4".

I really love the vintage lace sewn to her body and the buttons and a little cream bow.

So on Sunday i started the day again wanting to create something other than a "bear".

I ended up making a needle book. I have made them before but not since the craft and quilting fair last year.

It started like this.

Front Cover.

I still have a little more work to finish it off.

The fabric i have used on the front is the map of Paris. I really love using this fabric.

It is a gorgeous vintage looking pink colour

There is lots of room to store your vintage lace ribbon buttons pins and needles.

it has 3 pockets.

you can remove the fabric tag needle holder.

This is what it looks like under the fabric tag on the needle book.

I have added lots of mother of pearl button some vintage and a couple new.

I think i will be making some more of these this week to add to my etsy store.

Hope you all have a productive weekend.
