Dragonfly Jewellery Box set {decoupage}

This lovely jewellery box that I made back in December got lost by Royal Mail and never reached lovely Ann. As far as I understand it was supposed to be Christmas present for her daughter. Bad bad Royal Mail!

Anyways, so there was nothing else left to do, but make a new one. This jewellery box is slightly smaller than the one that got lost, so I decoupaged a tiny extra box as well. Maybe one day it could become box for Tooth Fairy, or just keep a single very very special piece of jewellery.

Eleanor's Quilt

Ah, Eleanor. Sweet little girl. I've known her since she was about a year old. And there she is now, 4 already!

When my daughter and Eleanor get together, there is no stopping them. They get up to all sorts of mischief. I love seeing them play together, I hope they will be friends for years to come.

When we got invited to her birthday, I wanted to do something special for this little girl, create something one of a kind, that nobody else will have.

So, I decided to make quilt. Very simple jelly roll (fabric collection called 'Urban Cowgirl') quilt. I do like simple quilts. They show off fabric beautifully, without distracting from it too much.

Here it is, modeled on my daughter's single bed. The other side is very different, but just as beautiful.

Oh, and I made a card too :)

Candle Holders {decoupage}

I have been neglecting my blog. You see, I made lots of Christmas presents, but couldn't blog about them until after christmas and I got seriously backlogged :)

Here are 3 candle holders. Initially they are the same, but one got given little feet (which are just cupboard knobs).
2 of them became Christmas presents and one- a very belated housewarming present.

Techniques used - white acrylic for background, tissues with note print, 2 step crackle medium, Inka gold wax to fi cracks and matt acrylic varnish top coat. Oh, and metallic acrylic for 'feet'

Rapunzel Wig

My little girl watched 'Tangle' the other day and that was it, she now introduced herself as Rapunzel to other people. And it's sort of makes me a bit sad that she's got really short hair. Clearly, we needed a wig.

So this evening I quickly knocked up this

Shadow Waltz Kindle Cover

Finally, Christmas is over and now I have time to make something for myself.

I'm a big fan of Ju-Ju-Be bags (ok ok, I'm totally addicted). I love their prints and their fun looking functional bags. However, they don't make Kindle covers... And I really could do with a new Kindle cover :)

So I dug out Shadow Waltz (that's the name of Ju-Ju-Be print) changing pad, cut it up and made this.

Star Wars iPad cover {quilted}

Aaaaand more Star Wars for my husband. An iPad cover this time.

Large scale print works better on iPad cover, you can see more characters.

I enjoyed making it and hubby seems to like it. Yeyyyy!

Merry Christmas!!!!

Star Wars kindle cover {quilted}

Lovingly handmade Christmas present for a very very special man who loves Star Wars. Who's the lucky guy? Hint hint - he's married to me :)

Quilted padded Kindle cover for my hubby. To keep device dust and scratch free.
