My Creative Space.....

Just playing around in my creative space this week. It was my birthday on Tuesday and i was super spoilt and excited to get this new baby - a bit of a step up from the old compact point and shoot (though i did serve me well!)


And after bubs in born i have been booked into a photography course as the other part of my pressie! EEEK can't wait!! Look out, now i have this NO ONE is safe and the kids will be the ones to have 100 thousand piccies taken of them - and just wait till bubs is here! I'll have baby photos coming out of my ears.

But for now its just a bit of crafting going on. I ordered these delicious new fabrics to make some baby stuff, namely the all important nappy bag.



so here is a little sneaky peek at it which i am working on....


Hopefully ill be bringing you the finished bag soon so stay tuned! be sure to visit other my creative spaces.

Thanks for stopping by!

Princess for a Day....

This week little miss turned 3, and my how fast the time flies! You literally blink and they're growing up.

We had a small family party to mark the occasion but what sort of 3rd birthday would it be without a pretty party dress?! So we chose some fabric (PINK of course!) and i set to work .....
I was actually quite please with the outcome considering i had no pattern.



i must have done ok, because she was super excited to have a pretty dress to wear!

Complete with a 'pony cake' (again her choice). Now i am by NO means a cake decorator, i find it kind of frustrating because i can never get the icing right (it brings out my 'mely' side!)



Yet she loved it, though i suspect it wouldn't really matter what it looked like as long as there was ponies on top she was happy! A great day was had by all especially our little princess!

So i have been playing with ideas for some tutorials to put on here and i've decided to start with this dress. i drafted my own pattern and was wondering if anyone would be interested in trying it out. I will put it in a separate post if i have any takers?

Thanks for stopping by!
