Craft Project: Bunting

I made bunting for William's room with the left over Alexander Henry 'Juicy Jungle' fabric and some navy and white striped fabric I had left over from sewing Will's nursery decor.

The photos aren't great sorry but you get the picture. I wanted something to jazz up that wall and the bunting sits nicely above the sliding door (we have sliding doors to the bedrooms which I guess the previous owners put in as a space saver).

To make the bunting I just cut the fabric into triangles of the same size and hand stitched them onto thin white ribbon, spaced about 4cm apart.

I think it looks pretty cute and looks nice sitting above Will's Eye Chart print.

There will be more pictures of his nursery to come soon, so you can see how the fabric ties into his curtains, cushions, blanket and wall art.


I also wanted to say a big thanks to Babyology for posting about My Sweet Prints on their fantastic website today. Babyology was a finalist in the 2009 Homies awards in the Kids at Home category so it was very exciting to wake up and see their lovely post!

Have a wonderful Sunday,

DIY Birthday Card

We had a lovely time yesterday at a friend's daughter's 3rd birthday party.
All the children had a great time on the trampoline and running around the backyard like crazy.

Anyway, I LOVE making cards and so it was a great excuse to get creative. I wanted to match the card to her present which was a talking fairy gadget so I decided to illustrate and paint a woodland mushroom picture with a '3' in it.


I've always got a packet of blank cards and some thick coloured card stock so I drew up the picture and then painted it with my old-school watercolour set and stuck the picture to the blank card using double sided sticky tape and 'Voila!' it even matches the wrapping!
