recent makes

 Last week saw my cousins little boy turn Three. He is obsessed with Aeroplanes so i thought what better present than an airport play mat. Perfect for landing and taking off.

 I realised that i have not taken many photos of the girls cooking in recent month. We do still do lots of cooking there just is not a lot of evidence. This was Banana and honey cake. delicious!

 These two tops were for my friend Mary Jayne's little girl Abigail on her second birthday. I loved making the ladybird. The material was from a red scalf i found in the charity shop!

 We have been making cafes in the front room.... and i could not photograph all of the dens that Emily makes in a week. It could go on forever!

 This is a house warming present that I made for my Step sister who has recently branched out on her own with her children to a new rented house. She is very brave as the situation was not nice. However she is now blessed with a county house with views for miles. I made a selection of items for her home, things that she might not buy as not totally essential but that make a house a home. Pretty girly things like pink cupcake cases, a wooden peace dove, a picture frame, a shopping list pad, some cath Kidston style oven gloves and mugs and 4 love hearts that i made.

 Emily got a fabric paint set for her birthday!

 We made this little chappy!

oh and also some winter cakes!!

So there we are, our recent makes. There is another one to show, made by Emily but i do not have a photo of it. She has started to sew using the sewing basket we made up for her for christmas. Such a creative little thing.
