Whistle Stop Tour!

Ooops, I've been away from the blog again!

Busy doing craft fairs, commissions, dancing, actual proper work, and visiting folk with babies...!

I did manage to made a few new things this week - and I've bought some fabulous bead strings to play with next week - so here's a whistle stop tour of what's been going on... (No babies though!)

A bridal party commission

Bracelets, Earrings and a Necklace Drop

 

Pretty new beads!! (I'll be making some necklaces out of these)

A feature necklace - lava beads and marble on suede thong

Love Heart Charm Bracelet on an elasticated base - I made this at the last craft fair.

Accursed re-positional adhesive. This does not work at all!!!

I even managed to make a loaf of bread... mmm. I miss bread.

Another Nappy Cake!

A much bigger nappy cake!

Nappies all bundled up with baby stuff - lotions, potions and babygrows!

Tied with ribbons and wrapped in pretty cellophane.

A few more earrings

 What's this I spy? More butterfly earrings? Oh yes, I'm on a roll!

Wait a minute... you're not butterfly-y... what are you doing in this post?

All of these pretty shinies will be on show at The Breakfast Bar this Saturday (that's Valentine's day, for I have nothing better to do!) It's on from 3 til 6, and is free to drop in.

Nappy Cake - All wrapped up

So here we have the finished article - one baby girl's nappy cake. This one was for my friend's daughter, Ping Pong (I don't think they're actually calling her that...)

It contains about 50 size one nappies, 4 or 5 babygrows, a set of 7 bibs (you can see them rolled up like a rose), dummies, baby lotion, shampoo, and bath wash, all rolled up and bundled around a bottle of pink Cava on a cardboard base.

They're all wrapped in tiny hair elastics, then circled around the bottle held together with elastic bands.

Then it's tied with ribbons and wrapped up in florists' cellophane.

And finished with a big ol' bow!
