Working with robots

I'm working on a couple of new things at the moment... one of them invloves giving my little robot character a makeover. Well, not so much a makeover as a custome change. Many, many, many costume changes for a new product i think the kids will really love! Especially the boys. 

So i've been doing lots of sketches and lots of imagining. Plus a whole lotta consulting with my 8yr old Moonlet... i'm pleased to report that he (mostly) approves. And i can assure you that there is no grey area with this boy. Things are either liked or they're not. And there ain't no in-between! He might get that from me :)

The vintage wallpaper stash

My little collection is growing... i do love the colours and textures of old wallpaper and find it hard to resist!

This pink floral number is my latest acquisition and i got it out to make some more elephant notebooks. The elephants always sell so well but have been out of stock for ages... they'll be in the shop soon! Promise.

Making...

Some owl wall art in progress... this little batch will be in the shop next week. 

Happy Friday! Have a wonderful weekend.

The queue for the sewing machine

Lots of bookmarks waiting to be finished off... I never get tired of these colourful old wallpapers and cute quotes!

I probably shouldn't show you this.

I tend to measure my day's productivity by how long it takes me to tidy up at the end of the day. Yesterday was quite productive. 

A project in pink & yellow

We're seeing a special little baby this week and i'm doing a handmade gift (of course!)...

A sweet little picture mixing machine and hand stitching. This will be sewn onto the front of a scrapbook. There are so many moment and memories to preserve, babies grow so fast! I hope the mum and dad can keep track of some of those moments in this book. 

 

Weekending

I had a really nice couple of days... beautiful autumn sun, family time and enjoying another successful market. How was yours?

For the week ahead i've promised myself some creative time. Me, paper, scissors, my old Bernina and a spot of supply shopping. That's the extent of my plans! First up, a paper patchwork proejct idea i've been wanting to try for a while.

On my desk

Mini heart cards + new notebooks in progress today.

I'd really rather everything completely done rather than half done... but there's always tomorrow, right?

Making...

Robot notebooks. 

iPod cozy and spiffy earphones

My new iPod cozy.

Like the Beethoven button? Couldn't resist.

I finally got around to a wee bit of crafting... felted an old wool jumper and used the end of one sleeve. Completely perfect because it already had a nice ribbed cuff to use as the top. And just about the perfect size, although i took the seam in a bit to make it a snug fit.

And then i got to the earphones. Yep. Much to my husband's amusement, I wrapped them (saw this on Pinterest). No more tangling! Works an absolute treat. Think i might get the kids to do theirs too, because seriously, if i have to untangle those things one more time...
