Make My Week #22 – Cupcake Cushion
Joining in here again – oh so inspiring to see what people make in their creative lives This week it is another birthday party present for a very sweet little lady. I like the colour combo and the way her name turned out – I free motion stitched it on the machine. Flip assured me [...]
Make My Week # 21 Lego Man Cushion
Another six-year-old birthday and another personalised cushion. This little guy is a LEGO lover and so I thought I’d make him a little cushion with the iconic LEGO man on it. I free-hand copied it and then stitched it on in felt. Pretty pleased with it and I think the birthday boy was too. Other [...]
Make My Week #20 – Birthday Season
It seems birthday party season is upon us and I have such difficulty with the whole present thing. I love presents and I love giving them but I also struggle with the amount some people spend on children’s birthday party gifts and when your child gets invited to several birthdays during the year how much [...]
Make My Week #17 – map bunting
A very quick and easy project this week. I actually have a set of this planned with letters stenciled onto it for the boys’ room but I can’t find my letter stencil so you’ll have to enjoy the second set. At the moment I have just pinned it above our bed, temporarily. The maps are [...]

Make My Week #6 – Softie
Little man turning 1. Present required. Got inspiration from a softies book on my shelves. Didn’t use the pattern – which is why the limbs could be described as seriously out of proportion. First time using one of the awesome tags Juliet made for me. Used all stash and stuffed with a mixture of polyfill [...]
