Made it Friday Focus: Monkeys

Ahem...I know it's Sunday! Had a bit of a manic week!  Without further ado here is the Made It Friday Focus on Monkeys.   I fell in love with this monkey fabric when I saw it in a shop in Broome and had to have it.  It has since been made into cute beanbags as well as Monkey t-shirts!

 And here are some of the other fun things I have found on Made it!

• Knitted Ballerina Monkey (many other monkeys in the shop!) - Twinkle Kids
• Zipped Pouch - Sew What

Busy Busy Busy

Wow what a few weeks I've had! Can't wait to get back into cardmaking, so many birthdays have been neglected over the recent months! Sorry if that includes you!  Anyhow, here are some of the things I don't think I've shared yet....

My daughter's birthday cake! (yep I made it! First birthday cake I have ever attempted!)

 Some luggage tags made using a tutorial over at Skip to my Lou.

 A cute little stocking t-shirt.

 A variation on the guitar t-shirt someone asked for. Cute huh!?

 And an alternative background colour and personalised Guitar t-shirt.

Thanks for stopping by.

Made It Friday Focus: Rockets

Morning all - today's Friday Focus is on Rockets.  Here is my Blast Off t-shirt - I've just been requested to make this on Navy with a name instead of the words Blast Off so it will be fun to see how that will turn out.

 I found too many beautiful and fun things to narrow it down to six today so here we have my top 9!

• Orange Toddler Backpack - Fiddleedee
• Rocket Bunting - Giggleberry
• Rocket Birthday Card -Little Angel Card Creations
• Rocket Cupcake case - Cake Cups
• Rocket Party Invite - Ava Day Creations
• Rocket /Space Bib - My Little Hero Designs
• Space Taggie Blanket - Loopy Loos
• Rocket Canvas - Made by Kale
• Space Wall Decals - Wall Effect

I just know it would make their day if you took some time to stop by some of these shops!  Have a great day!

Happy little bags!

Been busy making some cute little bags for my daughter's birthday party this weekend.  The kids will get to decorate the cream strip with their name using fabric pens!  Then they'll use them for a treasure hunt to put their finds in and that is then their loot bag!  I've seen various tutorials on the web for little bags and I suppose this is just an amalgamation of those here, I made my own pattern to suit the measurements I needed.

 I know I'm a complete nut - I lined them!!!

 As it is a Fairy Tea Party I figured they should play Fairy Musical Toadstools (Musical Bumps/Chairs).

Have a good day, I'm off to carry on making stuff for the market this saturday!  Remember to check back tomorrow for another Friday Focus.
