Taggie Blanket

I whipped up a taggie blanket for a friend.

I am in love with the fabric. I would love to say I patch work quilted it but alas I did not LOL.

It was dead easy to do although next time I think I will just do a pressed seam and top stitch rather than sew and turn it out and blind stitche the opening, or I could just make the opening smaller.

Also I think I might use a fleece as a backing, it will make it a bit thicker and more cozy.

I also want to have a go at making a pettiskirts! They are just the most adorable skirts.

Although I don't think I can justify the $ when I have no little girls to wear it. My fingers are crossed that I have a little neice on the way ( c/sect 15th June ) so I might be able to get away with it ;)



Pettieskirt tut on martha

On the Lilypad front, I FINALLY sold my first froggy!!!!

The i heart craft froum is doing ok, we have roughly 26 member and a few have started posting on a regular basis, I really hope IHC will oneday be as popular as some of the other big craft forums :D Baby steps baby steps LOL

I've been doing some design work, here is what the client chose, a very elegany black, pink and white desgin.

Katies having a baby!!!!

My Little sister is having her first baby in less than 8 weeks!

So we are throwing her a baby shower!

Her nursery is tiffany blue with a cherry blossom theme, so I themed the invites around that of course!

She doesn't know if its a boy or a girl (thanks jon!)

So here it is :D

New look IHC!

I have changed the template, do you like it?

I have no idea how to work the link and ad certain things but I'm getting there and its looking rather pretty :D

A little update on things...

I have so many thoughts and idea's rolling around in my head, I just wish I could actually get some of them out on paper!

♥Some new things going on I am in the process of getting the www.iheartcraft.com and getting the forum set up over there, for some reason the forum has been playing up and there is little to no support from the provider so I might have to start from scratch but never fear I will let all the current members know if there are any changes.

♥I have to design some logos for site links and banners for sigs, blogs etc

♥I have some exciting ideas that I am hoping will get off the ground, watch this space for updates :D

♥Invite design jobs in the works which is exciting.

♥Design and make up some wet bags for Lilypad, I have to get photos worthy of the site as well as some better pics of the quillow (not sure how I'm going to do that, if you have any idea's let me know :D)

♥Have a certain little mans 2nd birthday coming up which is just crazy! (I'm in denial that I have a growing little guy!)

♥Find a house to rent, I want my own space and a craft room, studio with heaps of room for all my craft stuff and a massive cutting, sewing table!

Well thats all I've got, I will end with showing off my latest design jobbie!

Moving announcement and quillow!

Do you know what a quillow is? I didn't until a couple of weeks ago. For those who have been living under a rock with myself a quillow is a quilt and a pillow in one! When its open it looks like a quilt but if you fold it a magic way it folds into self and makes a pillow! All be it not the most comfy of pillows but a pillow non the less :D

And for those who totally didn't get the name, its QUilt & pILLOW :D





I also whipped up a "were moving" announcement card for a friend who is leaving Melbourne is a short few weeks :(

Some more digital creations by me :D

An alpha poster to add to the store.

Logo development

Beck at baby laila asked me to create a logo for her new store at oz.handmade.com

She was pretty open to ideas and colour scheme although she wanted to incorporate cherry blossom in it.

Here's what I have come up with so far .

Sorry they are small.

I am really happy with them, I borrowed the branch from a wall decal design I found on google, and the bird is a picture I also found on google.

This is purely for snitz and giggles so don't stress, not stealing to gain anything :D

Numbers posters

I have been playing around with some digital creations.

They are number posters, I can do them in any colour and are A3 size but I can make them smaller.

Cooper's 2nd birthday with Thomas!

Sara asked me to "Borrow" a cute thomas design she had found.

For Cooper's upcoming 2nd bday!

Thanks to the orig designer (don't know who you are).

Birthday card for a friend

I whipped this up on friday night, WDYT? The colours a a little different IRL they are more of a musky pink purple and dark plum purple.
