My Creative Space.....

Wow, has it really been so long since i was here? You forget how much time a newborn takes up - and how fast the time flies! Can you believe she is 11 weeks already?!!

Neither can she!

busy busy here getting ready for my first ever market - Don't ask me what i was thinking booking myself in for a market just 3 months after having bub.

Never the less, i have been sewing, sewing, sewing every chance i get so in my creative space this week im embarrassed to say that this is the state of my craft desk...


I've never been much good at sticking to just one project at a time so in the midst of making headbands, hairclips, earrings and various other bits for the market i also decided to start a crocheted cot blanket for the little one - so sitting in front of the TV of a night i am working on making 30 of these...


But the major project i am undertaking today is finishing off these super chic clutches for the market


Which will be ones like this one..

My Creative Space.....

back with my creative space this week

I had the absolute pleasure of meeting this lovely lady last week, the queen of chenille herself! i was lucky enough to snap up a bargain in her clear out sale to complete this project that has been on my 'to do' list since we knew we were having another bub.



This is Audrey, she is our new companion for baby Kate (though just quietly, i think she may have to fight her sister for her!) So this one is for you, Selina!





Be sure to stop by and visit many wonderfully creative people.

My Creative Space.....

sorry i've been MIA for the last few weeks, we've been busy with this little one...



getting in all our kisses and cuddles....


i finally managed to get out the sewing machine this week and get started on some new clutches

My handmade heaven space is in desperate need of a restock and i have some markets on the horizon that i am stock piling for - the opportunities to sew are few and far between at the moment so im making the most of my sewing time!



So my creative space is looking like this...

Which will eventually be these...


Hope your all having a wonderfully creative day. Be sure to stop by the home of our creative spaces.

CHA Swap

So i signed up for the CHA Swap a while ago, thinking that i had plenty on time to make my swap item to be posted by the 30th of June. Well baby Kate put a dampener on those plans, so i cracked out the sewing machine on the weekend to finally make my swap item!



Nothing like an impending deadline to make me pull my finger out! I drew my own pattern for this one and wasn't sure how it would turn out (i really need to stop doing that!). Thankfully it worked out - i just hope my swap partner loves it! I will do the reveal when all is received so as not to ruin the surprise.

On another swap note i want to sing to praises of this lovely lady who sent me the most DARLING brooch in the brooch swap

I am the proud new owner of this lovely Geisha Girl Brooch - isn't she just adorable?

A big thank you goes out to Fabiola!

Thanks for stopping by!

Sneaking into My creative space just in the nick of time! Before bubs arrived i finished and sent this to my brooch swap partner.



Susie has done a fantastic job at organising the swap, you can head here to see all the fabulous and unique brooches these talented people made.

This little package is heading off to my partner, i'll be posting the gorgeous brooch i received in the coming days!

.....and then there were 5!

Apologies for the break in transmission - and i was on such a roll to with my crafty projects too, but this time i do have a good excuse!

It seems that our newest little poppet couldn't wait any longer to join us on the outside world.

It's A Girl!!

Our newest baby girl joined us on 4.6.2011 at 3am weighing 3kg

Introducing.....

She caught us by surprise arriving 3 and 1/2 weeks early but is happy and healthy.

After a week in hospital with some complications we are happy to be home, getting to know each other and enjoy some rest and recovery.


We're still in a bit of a baby bubble with the cycle of feeding, sleeping and nappy changes. Thankfully Mr JK is home to do the school drop offs, washing, cooking, running around and general liaising duties with the outside world !


But we're all rather smitten, can't you tell?!




and with a little face like this how could you not be? (a biased mum perhaps?!)

Looking forward to being back with some crafty projects soon - i already have some super cute baby girl project im itching to get stuck into!

Thanks for stopping by!

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!
