SALE

[Edited to add:
Sorry these are no longer available.]

Just to let you all know I'm having a bit of a sell off of all my pre-made onesies and t-shirts that I used as examples at Markets and for photos for Made It.  Most have names on, some don't.  They are all priced at AU$15 plus postage.  This is a good deal, about half price on most.  You can check them out here.  Have sold alot of them locally already but these ones still have homes to find!

There are also a few not listed on Made it as follows:


I have a boy's white t-shirt with a green dinosaur and the HARRY on in a Size 3.

And a girl's grey t-shirt with a bright pink dinosaur and the name CHLOE in a Size 3 also.

Will send a photo as required.

Nomadic No More?

It seems that the Crafty Nomad is going home, possibly for good! It's true we are leaving Western Australia next month and are homeward bound to the UK.  This blog may be a little empty and lonely for a while whilst I tackle the move.  It might also start to include a few home renovation items too in the future!

As for now I just have one little card to share for a friend who just had a beautiful baby girl this week.


I made a onesie with the baby's name on it plus a butterfly using the spotty fabric for the letters and the flowers fabric for the butterfly.  So I wanted to make a card using the same fabrics.  I added a bit of crochet trim (thanks Bianca) and some thickers to spell out 'baby'.  And completed the look with a bit of stitching and embossing. I'm entering this to the Ribbon Carousel Challenge for their 'A Stitch in Time' challenge.


I love how this turned out looking so clean and simple.  I forgot to photo the onesie!

Well I guess I'll see you when I see you! When things gets back to 'normal' whatever that is!

Just a little bit saucy!

Well it's no secret that I love Kenny K images, but I've never before bought any of his more risque images.  But I had such a suitable occasion this week (Ha!) that I decided to bite the bullet and get one!


This is the sexy, sassy Jessi Jane!


I was inspired by two sketches that were strikingly similar, I reversed both of them though and came up with this! 
I have alot of texture going on in this card: black velvet paper; red velvet ribbon; crochet trim; embossed metal; plus the buttons!


This is also for two other challenges:
Have a lovely day.

Just so you know...things might get a little quiet around here for a while...we have a big move on the horizon.  Watch this space!

Luck of the Irish & some more Bunting!

So this week I was asked to make a custom design with an Irish theme.  I decided to do a Leprechaun's hat with a four leaf clover on it.  I loved how it turned out! Very Green!



I've also made a boys version of the bunting onesie.  Love how these are turning out!



Have a lovely day.

Cute Bunting on a Onesie!

Just recently I have started making bunting to sell at local markets, which inspired me to combine two products into one! Bunting on onesies!  This is my first onesie with bunting as the design and I LOVE it!!  It's in the shop, you can see it here.  Happy to do other colours too!




Thanks for stopping by!
