The Peanut on the other hand has been a crafting wizz lately and has been sewing up a storm on her new red sewing machine. This was a gift for her 6th birthday and I am proud to say that she's been doing amazingly, having now made a bag complete with button and three "disco" doll skirts.
I have a craft show coming up in two weeks or so I am glad that inspiration has finally hit me. This has come in the form of a great find at the Salvation Army shop, or the "celebration army" as The Peanut calls it. In the linens bin I found two gorgeous old table covers with lots of cool embroidery that I have been able to cut into panels. These are being turned into cute retro aprons!
In addition to this we had a birthday party for a 4 year old to attend and she's a little girl that we like very much so I wanted to make her something special. I am feeling proud of the fact that the last few birthday gifts we have given have been handmade. I asked this particular girl's mum for an article of clothing she'd out grown but had loved. I was given a gorgeous little wool dress that had accidently been felted in the washer. It was turned into a very special cuddly bunny instead. I think I may try one of these in a lovely pink pincord that I have been saving, I've got some mother of pearl buttons for eyes.
Anyone noticing a lot of pink around here lately? Look out for my next giveaway which I will post about this coming week, probably something pink!
